<br />
Plenty parking, fully accessible, cafe on bus route. Nearest Train station is Birkenhead Park or Conway Park (but to be honest not terribly close - my choice would be to come to Birkenhead Park station and walk through the beautiful Birkenhead Park towards the exit near University Academy, Cross Road and head up Slatey Road - but that will be a good 20 minutes walk).<br />

are entering work in <u>de-junk, re-junk</u>, as last year was just so amazing. I'm hoping to get
more confidence in creating my own artwork. I became involved
because I attended one of the de-junk workshops last year ran with a grant from the Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority held in the Green Community Centre and Shop in Oxton. It introduced me to
a whole new way of doing things that as a science teacher I had never
considered. When I was at my lowest, the world of art and textiles gave
me a huge lift! And now I am half way through a foundation diploma
following a Sunday afternoon workshop with de-junk and now a contributing artist to this year's exhibition"</span><br />

We are moving to Gallery One in the Williamson Art Gallery in Birkenhead for <u><i>de-junk, re-junk!</i></u> and the new works will be on display from the 8th of June until 7th of July with over 30 artists submitting works made from recycled paper, motorbike parts, paraquet floors, glass from broken bus shelters etc.<br />
<br />
We are hoping to have an exciting programme of tours by the artists and as usual our creative table of junk for you to take some "rubbish" away with you to change and transform into your own de-junk creation.<br />
<br />
In the exhibition, there will be large and small works, conceptual pieces and installations, craft work and paintings from the 35 artists. Many of the pieces will be for sale.<br />
<br />
Additionally, The Williamson Art Gallery are hosting, Robyn Woolston, winner of the 2012 Liverpool Art Prize and currently exhibiting in the Walker Art Gallery with her installation "<a href="http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-news/in-the-mix/2013/03/22/artist-robyn-woolston-unveils-artwork-made-of-rubbish-at-liverpool-s-walker-art-gallery-100252-33037329/" target="_blank">Strangers In A Strange Land</a>", for a week long residency in the gallery.<br />
<br />
There are also 2 other exhibitions by local artists on at the same time at the Williamson namely -Matthew Thomas - photographer and Stephen Collett showing painted portraiture.ABScrafthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04162666106635831663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381138220801181264.post-90995624271309771442013-03-03T02:55:00.001-08:002013-04-05T08:46:19.545-07:00Roy Lewis: Latest commission<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Roy Lewis was recently commissioned to create a Bull's head by a local restaurant in Heswall, <a href="http://beefgrillandbar.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Beef Grill and Bar</a>. He created it from exhausts, re-enforcing bars, flat sheet of metal salvaged from a friend's old cooker, a suzuki bandit brake disc, a landrover con-rod big end, some subaru gears, Ford Thunderbird bumper bolts, Yamaha RD350Lc exhausts....and the parts list goes on... <br />

samples and picked the ones he liked, he found the piece of elastic

to try all the different stitches on sewing machine and had a go with

David Jones has a background in science, technology and an un-fufilled interest in architecture. The construction of miniature buildings is one part of the artist's portfolio. </div>
<br />
The main 'structural' material for David's buildings is cereal packaging which is laminated to form a material comparable to pulp-board. Much of the construction is in laminated layers to produce details such as doors and windows. These are also from recycled materials. The buildings are finished with brick papers, water-based paints and match sticks for some details.<br />

Linda Mary Evans<br />BA(Hons) Fine<br />Wirral based Contemporary Landscape artist.<br /><br />Trees have always fascinated me, they are very much part of the landscape but they are incredibly complicated. So I have tried to simplify them, to allow for greater interpretation and imagination.<br /><br />Tree-scape<br />This work was inspired by a piece of beech wood given to me by Liverpool wood turner Mike Rule.<br />I was intrigued by the natural images within the wood and wanted to evoke an impression of the landscape from which it came.<br /><br />Tree-scape<br />Acrylic on re-used canvas<br />£150<br /> </div>

“I’m what some call a joiner, others a chippy or carpenter, I prefer Cabinet Maker, not because it sounds posh but because that’s what I do, I make furniture.When I say “make furniture” it doesn’t quite do it justice, what I should say is “I love to make things out of wood” and if that wood has been thrown out, and is free, even better!<br />
<br />
I didn’t set out to be a furniture maker, just kind of walked into it naturally, and I’m so glad I did.<br />
<br />
Didn’t achieve much at school, owing to being a hopeless dyslexic with a creative imagination that wasn’t nurchard or channelled correctly, but always loved art and drawing and design.<br />
<br />
So one morning in my late teens I was asked to help move some old furniture by a friend, from an old barn in Cheshire, and that was the beginning of my walk with wood.”<br />

I am a desk, made with love, for those to sit at and write above, on leather seen now colored green while you look at your silver screen.<br />
<br />
I'm made of wood were once there stood so many feet above the street, from childhood fears and lovers tears , Ive held them all through out these years.<br />
<br />
And songs I’ve heard from choirs too , from hyme's and prayers with windows blue and red all seen, please write on green, a lovers note that is unseen.<br />
<br />
You see, I'm made from bits of wood, with stories to tell, and if you would, consider a while, as you watch me smile, please sit and rest, for now <br />
<br />
