Swifts and things

Just this last week we have been delighted to hear the swifts joyful return to Ross on Wye and now they have been joined by our very own range of birds on display in the Gallery in the form of Nick and Gabi Ward's ceramics and Julia Manning's stunning prints and cards.

On Saturday Nick and Gabi Ward popped into the Gallery with their bird inspired ceramics. This newly launched range includes a collection of mugs, jugs and bowls all delicately coloured with an eggshell blue or off white background with cute pastel bird images scratched (or sgraffitoed ) into the clay. They have also added a new funky olive green colour to their ever popular sgraffito range which contrasts beautifully with the more delicate pastel colours of the bird range. 

To further add to our celebration of all things to do with birds we have a lovely collection of Julia Manning's wood and lino cuts and cards. Ranging from Turdus Merulas ( the latin name for the blackbird) to starlings, swallows and yellow hammers we have a bird to tickle everyones fancy!

So join with us and our gorgeous birds to celebrate the start of summer in Ross on wye.
