The Tiverton Art Society Spring Exhibition was held at The Castle Primary School, Tiverton from April 11 to April 18.

Early indications are that is was one of our more successful exhibitions for some years. So maybe only having one exhibition over a shorter period created an environment for buyers to be more urgent in their purchases.

As with previous exhibitions, the quality, styles, media and variety was simply amazing. As a Society we are very blessed to have so many talented artists as members. 

We encourage all members to exhibit no matter where they are in their art journey. Being able to show your work in an exhibition helps to build an artists confidence, not matter what level they are currently at. All the better if you receive an award or sell an art work.

As a Society, we hope to build and learn from each exhibition, so that we make the next one even better.

Below is a the art works that received an award or certificate of merit. (Judging is done by professional artists who are not members of the Society).

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Pam Pebworth. Pam was a key part of the Society in its early days and is remembered with fondness.

Her funeral will be held on 1st April at 1.20pm at Torquay crematorium.

Our condolences to Pam’s family.

Intro by Stuart

I think we can all agree that Heather is an exceptional pastel artist, so her views on pastels can be considered to be very useful.

SAA Pastel review

I recently bought some SAA soft pastels in their sale, I normally use Unison ones but thought I’d give them a try. They were about a third of the price of Unisons and are harder and longer, I’ve actually found them very pleasant to use and easier to get fine lines. – Heather Strong

Gold Illumination Workshop
~ Medieval Castles ~
From the mighty fortress of Beaumaris to the fairy-tale Chateaux of The Duc de Berry, medieval castles have stood out as some of the most iconic buildings in the landscape of history. Create a fine image of a medieval castle and gild your work with 22-carat block gold.
 

On Saturday October 20th 2018, a group of talented TAS artists came together at the Oak Rooms in Tiverton to hold an Autumn Art Sale.

As you will see from the photos, the range of art on display was certainly very impressive and a good mix of styles and medium.

A good day had by all, in a very atmospheric old building.
