After visiting Newent Onion Fayre on Saturday, we decided to follow an h.Art sign we had spotted, which led us to Wobage Farm, Upton Bishop. We were offered a very welcome cup of tea upon our arrival, after which we took a look at some of the works on display in the gallery.

At Wobage Farm there are five resident potters, two woodworkers and a jeweller. They exhibit their work in a converted, 18th century courtyard barn which was renovated by the late Michael Casson and his wife Sheila, who produces some wonderful pottery.

After leaving Wobage Makers Gallery we made our way to Broome Farm, Peterstow, where metal worker and bicycle designer extraordinaire, Alan Ross was exhibiting some of his works. In the first of the photographs below, Alan stands proudly between his Striped Sea Robin and 'Happy Couple' who are sharing an umbrella.

Alan is becoming quite well known for his steel sculptures. We wish him every success with his work

Young and talented artist Sophie Wagstaff also exhibited some of her works at Broome Farm. You can see Sophie with her beautiful woodland scenes in the photographs below.

There are lots of local exhibitions during h.Art, which runs from 6th until the 16th September throughout Herefordshire. For instance,.The Bridge at Wilton is currently exhibiting the works of well known local artist, Doug Eaton and there is also an exhibition at Ross Library. For further information, pick up an h.Art brochure from various places in town or telephone Amanda Fitzwilliams on 01432 261818.
