This week has been the week when Oxfordshire Artweeks has come to South Oxfordshire and Abingdon.
The Riverly Club has works by local artists from in and around Abingdon and Didcot.
Their preview evening (pictured in miniature above) can be seen in more detail here. The Riverly club, with its wonderful facilities, is not just open to residents of the recently built Bridge House. Local people, over a certain age, can also join.
OLA (Our Ladies Abingdon) has a very colourful exhibition in the junior school, and further works in the senior. It is an important birthday for Alice in Wonderland (150) so a good time to celebrate with a tea party.
Rosie’s Tea Room is displaying work produced by the Needles and Natter group who meet every Thursday morning. Anyone is welcome to go along and take their current project.
At Saint Ethelwolds there are many fine paintings, pots, and jewellery produced by the East Saint Helen’s Group. There is also the garden with some fine tulips, and the workshop at the bottom of the garden to enjoy.
Other venues in Abingdon include:
Abingdon Wellbeing Service / MIND
Alison Jones Ceramics, Glass, Pottery
Ticia Lever Textiles
The Manor School
Catherine Pumphrey Mixed Media
See Oxfordshire Artweeks for full details.
The “Sculptures in the Vineyard” at the Bothy Vineyard (near the Doghouse Pub at Frilford) are fantastic – literally hundreds of them on a 7-acre site. Well worth a visit if it stays dry – child and dog-friendly too.
