Last week, our National Saturday Club members were invited to Glass & Casting Technician Pippa Beveridge‘s studio as part of Second Floor Studio’s Open Studios. Pippa introduced us to her art practice, methods, and concepts. It was very exciting for our members to see the day-to-day operations of an artist – our thanks to Pippa for an inspiring visit.
We then looked around the 40 studios on site. It was a great opportunity for our members to meet artists working in Deptford and find out how they began a career in the arts. The day ended with a visit to the Drawing Open exhibition at no format Gallery, where we discussed curation, framing and drawing techniques.
Our members have been continuing their work in stone and glass, and we are excited to see them installed in Somerset House for the National Saturday Club’s end of year celebration. Thank you to tutors Mark Frith and Pippa Beveridge, Glass Fellow Mils Bridgewater, and student assistants Alex Stone, Louis Power and Six Alyss Hotchkiss.
