Cakes and Refreshments served in the front room to raise funds for local charity PAWS, which provides pre and after-school care.

 

We're back at Whalton, near Morpeth in Northumberland with two exciting arts events for 2025, when we'll be joined at Whalton Village Hall by around 20 talented local artists and makers from Northumberland and Tyneside.

We'll also have tasty bakes and refreshments from local charity PAWS ( www.pawspreschool.co.uk ) which provides pre and after-school care.

Each event is different, with new artists to meet and lots of amazing new work to see. There'll be something for most tastes and budgets, ranging from original paintings, prints to jewellery, ceramics, textiles and glass. Occasionally we also incorporate a mini exhibition of work or art demonstrations.

 

The front room of the village hall, where we serve the refreshments, also contains a fascinating display of local photographs dating back to late 1800's, including some by the very eminent Victorian photographer Sir Benjamin Stone, taken on a visit to Whalton.

Below is one of Sir Benjamin's famous images of Whalton's Kern Baby.

 

Any artists or makers interested in taking part, please get in touch and send images or link to your work to info@thetinshed.co.uk

We'd also love to hear from any nearby galleries or artists with their own studios who may be interested in being included in our visit as part of the Art Trail Northumberland and Scottish Borders.
