Details of Hilton Open Gardens and Carnelian Exhibition

Here is the flyer for the exhibition next Sunday. Sounds like quite a number of great gardens are going to be opened up to the public and Bruce will be operating his children's railway in his garden. Also cream teas available (and they are always good....) Shame I'll be holed up in Angela's conservatory, although I think there will be lots of visitors to Angela's garden. Angela is the designer of a medal-winning garden at RHS Chelsea Flower Show and her garden looks fabulous - not a bad place to wander out into, if the exhibition is quiet at any stage! Her company is called English Eden and her website can be found here: English Eden  

If anyone wants to come and see us, the address is : Garden House, 1 Pecks Close, Hilton, Cambridgeshire PE28 9QN.

Just finishing the last of the paintings and hope the framer can fit them in! Need to add the last touches this morning, as it is Wimbledon men's finals this afternoon and I'm not missing that!

Children’s activities

The Carnelians  are a group of visual and music artists who produce exciting new works using a variety of techniques including printmaking (ranging from screenprints, etchings to linocuts and monoprints), inks, pastels and papercuts. They have put together pieces inspired by nature, and in particular flora, especially for this exhibition to complement the beautiful gardens visitors will see on the day.  
The Carnelians are:
 
Lynn Norton: has been influenced by the flowers she has found to create intense and vibrant works. New pieces include sea holly, abutilon and oriental poppies.
 
Sherry Rea: the focus of Sherry's work for this exhibition has been seedheads, dragonflies and trees. She has an innovative approach to texture, mark-making and its relationship to the subject and the interplay of light, colour and tone.

 
Nina Sage: experimentally layers patterns and textures taking inspiration from nature and has created new delicate works portraying gardens, butterflies and flora especially for this exhibition.
 
Amanda Stuart: has framed her poignant poem - 'Your Garden'- in a paper cut of Hilton's meadow flora especially for this exhibition. She will be performing some of her compositions throughout the afternoon.
