Liberation through Substance - A joint exhibition and series of workshops


  • Three Storeys Old Bristol Road Nailsworth, Glos. GL6 0JE (map)

Three artists collaborate to explore the interplay between creativity, womanhood and self nurture. Botanical artist Karen Green, painter Cherryl Perrett and ceramicist Charlie Clarke share how rhythms and cycles; and learnt and inherited wisdoms inform relationships with their chosen materials, subject matter and creative processes.

Throughout Karen’s study of flora, fruits, folklore and symbology, Cheryl’s release into colour, adventure and movement and Charlie’s immersion of sensuality and the chemistry between earth, water, air and fire; this exhibition communicates the rich symbiosis between female experience and artistic expression. The artists invite you to enjoy the healing power of finding a flow state when creating.

Paintings, prints, sketches, pots and ceramic art for sale.
