The window of Forresters, hair salon, in Abingdon, has a picture of Abingdon Market Place made with snow spray.
We are getting near that time of year when Christmas decorations disappear so I captured it before it went away
Thanks to Ray for sending this picture from last Friday . Ray said “I took this around lunchtime today in the precinct. It was fascinating watching the guy doing his sculpture. He was just starting the puppy on top.“
Peter sent me a picture showing a painting attached to the sign of the Drayton Road development.
Somebody has taken issue about those houses. They are not objecting that they are being built against local people’s wishes, but because they will not make housing affordable.
On Bridge Street a lot of the shops got some overnight Friday night street art. It was not Banksy art, and quite rude in places, and so got removed.
At the 06 Gallery, in John Mason School, there was a lot of art work on display from students studying: Art, Graphic Design, Textile Design, and 3D Design.
The work was of a high standard, with colour, variety, movement, and innovation, and we enjoyed an interesting hour looking round.
Meanwhile on the Market Place, at the twice-yearly Craft Fair, one stall was taken by Fitzharrys School, who will be putting on an art exhibition at the Community Shop in early July.
In addition to the Craft Stalls there was a mini-exhibition of patchwork quilting to encourage people to “have a go” themselves. Ardington School of Crafts were there for anybody wanting formal tuition in crafts from Ceramics to Willow Weaving.
Despite the rain, there was plenty to warm the heart, including music from Abingdon Concert Band, and hot chilli sauces from the Abingon Based Steam Power Sauce Co. They will be back for the Oxfordshire Chilli Festival, in Abingdon, on August 15th.
