THE MAIN<br />

EVENT<br />

27th - 30th<br />

April <strong>2018</strong><br />

<strong>OSA</strong> Artists & Makers across Ayrshire<br />

Opening their Studio doors to the world!<br />

‘Now we are six,’ to quote AA<br />

Milne and we are delighted to<br />

welcome back those visitors<br />

who have been coming year<br />

after year and to say hello to<br />

those who are joining us on this<br />

journey of discovery for the first<br />

time. And it is a beautiful journey,<br />

taking you from one end of the<br />

county to the other and many<br />

places in between. This year our<br />

unmissable, four day weekend<br />

event takes place from Friday<br />

27th through to Monday 30th<br />

April <strong>2018</strong>.<br />

Over the past six years Open<br />

Studios Ayrshire has presented<br />

the work of many talented<br />

artists and makers who open<br />

their studio doors, and delight<br />

in sharing their passion and<br />

skills with visitors. As ever we<br />

have artists from a wide range<br />

of disciplines including painting,<br />

sculpture, textiles, ceramics,<br />

glass, digital art, jewellery and<br />

printmaking. You will be able see<br />

how artists work, ask questions,<br />

buy work, commission unique<br />

pieces or in some cases arrange<br />

a private workshop. Already<br />

our members are preparing for<br />

visitors by generating new work,<br />

planning demonstrations and<br />

perhaps, like me, even tidying<br />

their studios.<br />

Open Studios<br />

Ayrshire<br />

To start it all off, this year’s<br />

launch will take place on<br />

Thursday 12th April at the Dick<br />

Institute, Kilmarnock, to which<br />

you are all invited. Full details<br />

can be found at:<br />

www.openstudiosayrshire.com<br />

Open Studios Ayrshire is both<br />

funded and organised by us,<br />

the <strong>OSA</strong> artists and makers, so<br />

the support and generosity of<br />

our supporters is invaluable, in<br />

particular East Ayrshire Council<br />

and South Ayrshire Council, our<br />

advertisers and all the beautiful<br />

venues who are hosting our<br />

artists.<br />

All you have to do now is<br />

check out the maps to plan<br />

a route, find your favourite<br />

artists or disciplines in the<br />

brochure and come and enjoy<br />

the finest creative work on<br />

display anywhere in the West of<br />

Scotland. What could be easier<br />

on a fine spring weekend?<br />

14 Meadowfoot Road,<br />

West Kilbride, KA23 9BX<br />

I think of my textile art as a way<br />

of drawing with thread and<br />

painting with fabric, creating<br />

something delicate and exquisite<br />

that celebrates nature. Victorian<br />

taxidermy inspired my 3D birds<br />

which could be described as textile<br />

taxidermy!<br />

Exhibiting at:<br />

Dunlop,<br />

East Ayrshire KA3 4AD<br />

Recently, I’ve been producing work<br />

inspired by an artist’s residency<br />

I undertook in New York, where<br />

I worked with models and other<br />

artists in a collaborative mythmaking<br />

process. I work mainly in<br />

oil on canvas, and am interested in<br />

portraiture and figure painting.<br />

I work from my studio in<br />

Kilmarnock, and mostly paint<br />

experimenting with various<br />

mixed media. I paint directly<br />

on to canvas - building and<br />

layering the landscape until I<br />

have a completed piece of work.<br />

I specialise in Sterling silver and semiprecious<br />

stones with a focus on texture<br />

and free flowing designs. I feel good ideas<br />

result from experimental work motivated<br />

by the pleasure of designing jewellery. I<br />

am delighted to be exhibiting this year in<br />

my hometown of Mauchline for <strong>OSA</strong> <strong>2018</strong>.<br />

Open 10.00am - 3.00pm each day.<br />

From the “Ayrshire Squares” to the<br />

“Historic Coastline of Ayrshire” my<br />

textiles are expressions of significant<br />

values I notice in a cultural landscape.<br />

I studied cultural landscapes and<br />

completed an MSc in 2006 titled<br />

“Images of the Scottish Landscape”.<br />

What is a cultural landscape? It is<br />

the association with and evidence<br />

of human activity on the natural<br />

landscape. I capture that association<br />

and significance by drawing, painting,<br />

dyeing stitching and quilting my<br />

textiles of landscapes of the wild<br />

flowers that bloom along the cut<br />

grass verges, to the built and made<br />

entities of human activity.<br />

Open Friday - Monday 10am - 4pm<br />

I am a young artist based in<br />

Cumnock, East Ayrshire. Growing<br />

up on a farm I take inspiration<br />

from the animals and scenery.<br />

Acrylics give me the ability to<br />

capture animals in portrait for<br />

commissioned work throughout<br />

Scotland.<br />

I paint colourful scenes of light<br />

and shade. I try to suggest a<br />

story for the viewer to uncover.<br />

These scenes may be towns or<br />

landscapes and include figure(s)<br />

which may or may not play a<br />

central role.<br />

several awards. Originals, prints and<br />
