Doncaster College Yr2 Fine Art & Crafts

The New Fringe was proud to sponsor prizes for the second year ‘Fine Art and Crafts’ students show.  The opening event was buzzing with students, staff, friends and New Fringe members joining in to enjoy some great work.  The exhibition, thanks to the generosity of DCDT, is open to all and is well worth a visit.  Judges Steve Barnes and Madeline Pick commented: “It was a real pleasure to meet with and view the students work.  The work was of a very high standard, energetic and varied reflecting the mixed media nature of their course.  We wish all of them the best for their final year.”

The picture below shows the prize winners, from left to right:  Katie McDonald, Alice Hamer and Julie-Ann Bowden.

Adam Ogden exhibition at the White Gallery

New Fringe members, staff, friends and family celebrate the opening of Adam Ogden’s long awaited one man exhibition.  The works, animated sculptures and stencils, celebrate Adam’s experiences and demonstrate his unique style and vision.  The exhibition sits well within High Melton’s White Gallery and is well worth a visit.

Church View is buzzing!

Church View is now home to two hives of bees after New Fringe member John Briggs moved his swarm to the roof of Church View for the winter

Terry Chipp Demonstration Night

Local professional artist Terry Chipp kindly agreed to demonstrate some of his techniques to an appreciative crowd at The Salutation.

His chosen subject for the night was the historic coaching inn that was our venue for the night…starting from a simple sketch Terry showed how he built the painting up in a series of layers

Looks like the finished article…

But Terry has got other ideas and applies a liberal dollop of blue paint…

And a daylight scene is transformed into an atmospheric nighttime view…

A thoroughly entertaining evening that hopefully gave those in attendance some ideas and inspiration for their own future work.
