Some Before Pictures

Just a few pictures to show you the extend of our redecoration! Watch this space.

Breaking through

Darren and Patrick our builders are finally going to see the light of day after months of refurbishing the cellar.
On Monday we are temporarily closing the shop so the new stairs to the cellar can be put in. This will obviously involve a lot of dust so we are going to store everything safely away for as short a time as possible to avoid too much inconvenience to our lovely customers.
However this could take up to a few weeks so I will keep you informed of progress through this blog spot.
You will be able to see us behind the scenes in the shop redesigning the desk and shelving and supervising the repainting of the interior and exterior in time for our exciting Autumn exhibition.
If you need to contact us in between please either knock on the window or ring or email as we will be here to sort out any queries.
Many thanks for bearing with us through our exciting refurbishment.

Leather and Unexplained Patterns for Hereford Art Week

Lots of lovely leather just in from our saddler Joanna Martin.

Beautiful bags and of course belts too to last a lifetime. All handstitched using vegetable tanned or oak bark tanned leather. Oh and the travel bag lined in dark blue calf leather and perfectly fits most European flight hand luggage size requirements. Perfect to get those envious looks from other passengers holding their bog standard hand luggage.

 Next in for Hereford Art Week we have some lovely contemporary artist proof prints from young artist Rose Jones. Based on an exploration of identity using block printing techniques these prints will add a sense of movement and playfulness to any home.
So don't forget to join us for what promises to be a fun week ......

Glorious bundles of felt

Fresh from the talented hands of Isha we have been joined by the company of various felted creatures including exotic birds, mice clutching their hearts, a delightful hare, chickens, two of the cutest cats and fox terriers. Needless to say they don't stay in the gallery for long so if you love them like all us galls working here - pop in and take a look - even cuter in the flesh !

The summer hols are here

The school hols have started and we're in holiday mode here at Parkfields so come and join us and view all our lovely things on display in our beautiful town of Ross on Wye.

Watercolour Demo a success

Barry's colourful demonstration of his watercolour techniques was a fab success -even our keen amateur 'Pippa' the dog was enthralled with Barry's fun way of swishing water and paint across the page. Pippa had brought his owners all the way from Windsor (having read his book and heard of his reputation for giving exciting demos).
See Barrys website for a list of his courses: www.barryherniman.com

Watercolour Demonstration tomorrow!

Really looking forward to the watercolour demonstration tomorrow Saturday 4th August from 2-4pm by our featured artist Barry Herniman. Join us for a drink and watch Barry's demo, to pick up tips for budding watercolourists and hear stories of his travels. We look forward to seeing you!
