I’ve been attending Creative Journal workshops held @MetalSouthend, since 2015. In January 2017, a small group of artists, who had attended these workshops, decided to form a creative sketchbook collective, called SEVEN.
As part of the Creative Journal workshops we had been invited to exhibit at the Village Green Festival in 2015 and 2016. We had all enjoyed the experience so much that we were keen to explore other exhibitions.
Locally there is an event called the Leigh Art Trail (LAT), which in 2017 will be its 20th year. The trail takes place in shops and venues in and around Leigh on Sea in Essex. To celebrate the 20th anniversary LAT were keen to increase the number of venues and to invite more artists. SEVEN got together to submit our application and we were successful!
We are now getting the creative juices flowing in our bi-weekly creative sessions…
In the first session we began with quick 1 minute sketches that we can use to develop further work…
Here’s a taster of how the work is progressing…
SEVEN will be exhibiting at the Leigh Art Trail 2017 in the Planet Leasing venue.
