As before this is no ordinary exhibition; it is a chance to talk to the artists and makers about their work and their ideas. It is hoped that visitors will come, not just to buy, but also to see the work being produced in the area. Some of the work on sale will be test pieces and sketches. Sonja says, ‘I have found from past experience that this work, is ideal for art collectors, and for home owners to buy, without having to source it from the Gallery circuit'. There is also the added benefit, that visitors are also able to visit Sonja's studio in the Village. The artists at the sale will include, Michelle Burns, photographer from Dinas Mawddwy, Mick Rogers, Glass Artists, and Judith Phibbs who produces champlevé and cloisonné enamel work on silver. Mr Roberts will also attend the sale representing the late Stanley Wynn Williams, painter. Mr Williams was born, and bred in Aberdovey, and retired to Tywyn. This is a unique opportunity to see the work of this local artist. Some of the work can be seen on the following websites. http://www.sonja-benskin-mesher.com/ http://www.giselles.co.uk/ http://www.judith-phibbs.co.uk/ Dates for the next Art Sales in Llanelltyd are August 27, Bank Holiday Monday October 21, Arts week [Announcement - Sonja Benskin Mesher - 7Ko - 2007]
