Fife Contemporary Art and Craft

PROGRAMME - CURRENT 

Craft Pod - 2010/11 Tour

Seven libraries in west Fife; June 2010 - June 2011
After a short spell in St Andrews for a 're-fit', the Craft and Information Pods are back out on tour with a new display. As they will spend the next 12 months in a selection of west Fife libraries (details below), it seemed appropriate to fill them with artworks relating in some way to books.
On display is work by Rachel Hazell, Phiona Richards, and Alix Swan (on the  left : is an image of her work) who all are influenced by books in their work, but in different ways. The accompanying Information Pod shows a continuous playing slide show of images about the 3 artists; there are samples of materials by Phiona Richards and Alix Swan; and a simple DIY guide to making your own book by Rachel Hazell.

Cows - linocut by Babs Peas

I was admiring this relief print by Babs Peas,  at the Marked Impressions, exhibition at the library in Dunfermline recently.

Artworks in The "Marked Impressions" exhibition at Dunfermline Library


I liked this sweet wee print by Peter Kirley - had to give it a very slight 'edit' because of reflection from plastic wrap.


Nice one Ingerborg
