For the second year running we are taking the OneOak exhibition to Art in Action; one the UK’s major art shows.
This year we are delighted to have some of our makers and collaborators alongside us in the Woodworking area. These include Richard Fox sculptor, Rodas Irving green furniture maker, Martin Damen green woodworker, Rycotewood Furniture Centre, Living Woods magazine, DZ Design and Simon Clements.
We will be showing several of our films, displaying some of the inspiring original works of art, and have several large pieces that have been already been made from the OneOak tree. We will display the memorial sculpture made by Simon Clements, a spider bench made by Ian Smith of Rycotewood, and we will display the first length of timber and the 22 boards from the tree in the form that it’s been dried at the sawmill.
For the first time we are also selling limited edition prints of some of the artwork.
Art in Action is on between Thursday 21st and Sunday 24th July – we hope to see you there.
We have just returned from Art in Action and were thrilled to see the One Oak Exhibition. We are both concerned not only with the the way in which folk can be reunited to the marvels of our natural materials and their amazing potential but how people can meet people and have renewing experiences of ‘community’ big and small. This is brilliant an all age, engaging project, congratulations to all concerned.
