Artist celebrating nature’s colours through painting, mixed media and textiles artwork
The Studio Gallery Solihull is coming together well with such a wonderful selection of artwork! Acrylic paintings, watercolour, oil pastels, glass work, and felting from seven local artists.
The window display is almost set and it’s bright and eye catching! Featuring one piece from each artist.
So, instead of saying ex-Lakeland Plastics it’s now most definitely Studio Gallery Solihull 🎉
We open on Thursday evening!
Next instalment of Studio Gallery Solihull! It’s all shaping up nicely, with so many of us working well together getting the preliminary jobs done!
None of us have started from scratch with a previously owned shop unit before and the cleaning and general preparation needed for good presentation is key! Delivery of original artwork and crafts is programmed in once the furniture has been delivered over the weekend with the shop window display going ahead on Tuesday morning!
Each of us are now selecting our own artwork for display inside the gallery, having now sectioned the space per artist in the Touchwood Shopping Centre unit, Solihull. It’s very exciting but also a relief to have made great strides into our new venture!
Next instalment will have opening days and photos!
Till then, adieu!
Studio Gallery Solihull! We are setting up a collective of 9 artists from Solihull!
We have been fortunate enough to have the opportunity of using a large shop unit in the Touchwood shopping centre right in the heart of Solihull Town Centre!
We will be there to talk to visitors and showcase our artwork which will be available to purchase. We have studio space too so some of us will be busy creating too.
I’ll let you know how we’re getting on preparing the unit as we go along! The excitement is growing for the new Studio Gallery Solihull!
Next Exhibitions, preparations and gallery requirements to be met, it’s a busy time!
Lighthaus Arts new exhibition Fault Lines will be displaying Calm from 16 April to 10 May 2026. 31 Clemens Street, Leamington Spa, CV31 2DP.
LSA Gallery new exhibition A New Light will be displaying my mini illustrations in time for the summer vibes! Entitled Summer Hedgerow Series. From £25.00 each. LSA Art Room, Royal Priors Shopping Centre, Unit L2 – Lower Mall, Leamington Spa, CV32 4XT.
Resorts World Birmingham have extended the art show of Art Amongst Us to 31 May as they’ve so enjoyed receiving the visitors to the gallery “…to allow guests to experience art differently.” In the Rough, and its neighbours, have been sympathetically displayed.
A one off beginners watercolour workshop in the summer has now become a regular monthly feature due to demand!
Having previously run Thursday private classes at the Beech House in Solihull town centre in their lovely private venue everything came to a stop with Lockdown which seems another life ago now! Fast forward five years and we are back due to demand which is a great feeling!
I’m loving the third Saturday in the month adult beginner watercolour workshops upstairs in Skogen, Dorridge! Great atmosphere and helpful staff, the attendees join together to spend a very happy couple of hours learning how to play with watercolours and experiment. Learning through play is the best way to explore what a medium will do for you and the effects that you can create. After a few warm up paint activities they are off and painting! With help and guidance the adult painters are producing some excellent mini pieces. Our next workshop is on Saturday 15 November, and 20 December 2025. Workshops in the new year will be announced later.
