We have an interesting new blog post available to read on our website. Compiled by @blueberrybutton, it is about the satisfying and rewarding experiences that some of us have had through responding to open calls for art.

Two lucky charity shop finds! Kate Davis found a book that resonates perfectly with her current body of work, and @blueberrybutton found another that is perfect to inspire her to make more mini balance scales for our exhibition title (Un)Balanced.

Sketchbooks and trial samples by Phoenix artist @RoberttaMcPher1. She is exploring the possibilities of dry stone walls, cairns and other ways in which rocks and stones can be piled, whether in stable or unstable equilibrium.

Phoenix artists Lynne Butt and Linda Walsh both have collage on their minds and have been having fun with gelli plates.
Lynne's signature bright colours and Linda's favourite ogee shape characterise each artist's work.

We have a new blog post up on our website today, about the fabulous women's art collection at Murray Edwards College, Cambridge, and the fascinating temporary exhibition there last year about women, textiles and politics.

Phoenix artist Linda Walsh has been doing what she calls "looking backwards to move forwards": diving into past sketchbooks in search of new directions for her work. We are excited to see what she will come up with!

Linda Walsh is our artist of the week. Linda loves to travel widely and her experiences and impressions, recorded in photographs and increasingly in sketchbooks, provide the inspiration for her textile art.

Last but by no means least, our final artist feature turns the spotlight onto LINDA WALSH @lindawalshstitchart
Linda enjoys creating rich, textured and subtly coloured surfaces using dyed fabric, paper and chiffons.

Our featured artist for this week, Maria Walker, does not always work on a monumental scale. These little gems, made using found shells and pottery shards referencing ancient votive offerings, are a commentary on truth, lies and obfuscation in modern British politics.

Our penultimate featured artist is MARIA WALKER @mariawalkerart
Maria's work explores the human body and the experience of being human, using textiles and other media, which she selects for their innate tactility and flexibility.

Underlying the practice of this week's featured artist, Robertta McPherson @RoberttaMcPher1 are her delicate, assured and carefully observed sketches of the world around her.
