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.
