There are a number of Abingdon venues open for Oxfordshire Artweeks this week. St Ethelwolds has art from Berlin in an exhibition called ‘For your walls’.
Downstairs the work of Walter Lindner (1936-2007) is being exhibited –
finishing 6pm this Sunday (22nd). Simon, who runs the exhibition, is a fan and wants to make Walter’s work better known.
Upstairs in the Sanctuary are some other Berlin print makers including one by a ‘German Banksy’.
Meanwhile this coming Saturday at Mind, in the Charter, from 10am – 1pm there is a second chance to see their exhibition on Identify, and even create artwork yourself.
Using sculpture, painting/drawing, photography and the written word, the exhibition looks at who we are, what we know about ourselves, how we acquire our identities and what happens when we lose a positive or coherent sense of self.
Can someone tell me what the purple flowers are growing up the wall on the first picture? I keep seeing them and they look great. I want to get some for my garden 🙂

Wisteria Steve
Be warned, they take many years to get looking as good as that – and need lots of pruning. But they are worth it.
…those flowers look great! Told you!!
Thanks for the info, I’ll see what I can find and hopefully one day mine might look that good 🙂
I went to the Art Weeks exhibition in the barn at Peachcroft Farm. There’s some very impressive artwork on display – paintings, ceramics, lampshades, jewellery and much more. There are also demonstrations of some techniques. Well worth a visit. Plus Wells Stores and cafe (under new ownership) of course. If you like asparagus, there’s PYO as well as ready picked.
