Get the chance to see
the art of Pirates of the Caribbean concept artist Darrell Warner plus visit
Laurence Llwelyn-Bowen’s in action!
Runner up to the Chamber of Commerce Business awards “Creative
Champion”, Tessa Webb is firmly ensconced in the local artistic community. And
what a community it is, hidden away in the middle of nowhere, great things
reside. Though no one would see Cirencester as an artistic hub, artists make
themselves at home, perhaps because they deliberately want to avoid a clique or
the illusion of stylistic walls that a scene would require.
Weaving them together and rounding up this herd of cats is
Tessa Webb, founder of Creatives Into Business. Running courses such as Artists
Into Business and Designers and Photographers into Business, her experience
helps the core values of marketing calibrate to a multitude of businesses.
Hidden treasures is an accurate title for the tour of
studios. Aided and abetted by a vintage bus "Old Babs" provided by Alexcars of Cirencester,
those fortunate enough to have tickets can cruise to 18 locations over the
weekend, with some locations having more than one display. Of course making
your own way will be quite welcome, with 5 hubs in walking distance of the town
centre, including the New Brewery Arts and Corinium Museum. The Museum will
already have its doors opened to the Open Studios by the 22nd June.
Notable artists include Darrell Warner, who has been an influential
concept artist for Warner Bros, having his sketches utilised for Pirates of the
Caribbean and Captain America. Laurence Llwelyn-Bowen will be displaying in the
centre of town at 21 Market Place. The classically trained artist is proficient
in more than interior design, having said that, he is finding new success as
Changing Rooms is now airing in China. Sophie Ryder, whose Hare and Minotaur work
is well known on the Cheltenham Promenade, will be one of several artists displaying
at the Wet Paint Gallery.
