Art springs in September

by

Welcome to Open Studios, starting the first weekend in September 2026. It’s all over Hertfordshire, but something extra special this year in Harpenden… TWO KERRS in one visit to Studio 6 in the pop-up gallery on Leyton Road opposite Waitrose. Yep, me with my sculptural papiermache, and daughter Kat Kerr! Her 2-D art is in varied media from acrylic to thread and digital art (think Hockney), including landscapes and pet portraits. And now she, too, has entered 3-D world, with sculptured books. Meanwhile I’m trying to grow myself in painting. Cross-overs we are: the main thing is to grow and play.

Another poster for our very own Studio 6 (4 other artists besides Kerrs) soon to come. Meanwhile that’s my Lady Cat in lower right in this poster. And here’s a way to peek at daughter’s work https://www.katkerrillustrates.co.uk/ and see https://www.hvaf.org.uk/our-events/herts-open-studios/

When 3-d joins 2-d

by

The Griffin and I are pleased as punch to have been invited to join six other artists/makers in a pop-up gallery. It’s the first week — 11-17 September 2023 — of Hertfordshire Open Studios. It would be fab to see you in Harpenden, Leyton Road opposite Waitrose.

Seeding Sculptural Papiermache… will it take root and grow in Hertfordshire? I’ve already got two companion makers in a monthly workshop — watch this space. And see some of my pieces that will be on show here.
