Saturday 26th September at 3pm Shallal 2 will be showing their performance Contrasts which was commissioned and inspired by The Porthmeor Studios exhibition at Falmouth Art Gallery last year.
Thanks to Jo Lumber, Colin and Chris Hibbert for their enthusiasm which has created this opportunity. Some of the original paintings will be hung in the space and the performers are excited to bring the show 'home.'
Studio 11 will also be open to view before and after the show if you miss the Open Studio dates.

Anna 15 ( dancer ) and Michael 17 ( poster design ) are some of the younger artists who have taken part in the Shallal Studios residency.
The performance will also showcase 3 or 4 of Shallal 2's recent works.

Entrance is free with donations to Shallal ( Shallal 2 http://www.shallal.org.uk/shallal-2.html are currently unfunded) 
and to Positive Action in Housing Ltd  http://www.paih.org, their website enables you to offer space to refugees.

Sally Walters and Open Studios

Sally is one of my main inspirations for Shallal Studios, she is prolific in her work and i have seen it on and off for over 20 years. She has exhibited and been supported by The John Daniel Centre ( initiated by Linda Frost ), Studio 61 and Antony Frosts Monday Community Art group, which meets at St Peter's Hall Newlyn. This last one allows us to see her work regularly, as their paintings are hung around the walls, and it's Shallal Dance Theatre's rehearsal home.
Her work is always balanced, colourful, quirky and joyful, and I feel deserves a wider audience. In the past Sally has painted on pottery, ( made by Ian Box ) many of them being avidly collected.

OPEN STUDIOS
Today Lou is mounting work in the studio ready for Open Studios in St Ives Festival, hope to see you there.

Great day at the studio

Today has been a big day of learning at Porthmeor.  Anne, Sam and I decided to try screen printing and they both worked incredibly hard to learn what is actually a very difficult medium, and made some beautiful work. Sam's work wasn't dry so he will add the second and third colours next week. We all went away with tired brains but very very pleased!

Kerry's paintings

9/4/2015

This has been an exciting week at Porthmeor for us.
Its the first week that Kerry and Mel have been in to try out their brilliant idea of using a projector to transpose Kerry's ipad-made paintings onto canvas.
Kerry has found the ipad to be an accessible way for her to express her creative ideas and has made a substantial body of work using the painting programme.
Mel's equipment enabled the ipad paintings to be projected onto canvas so that with Kerry's guidance Mel could turn the work into oil paintings.
Kerry and Mel have found the work intensive and hugely rewarding - Kerry says that the paint on canvas has really brought her paintings to life.
More to come! (Lou Brett)
