Five talented artists and craftspeople from the Melksham News area are getting ready to take part in North West Wiltshire’s Peacock Arts Trail from Saturday 5th to Sunday 13th October.
Laura Richards is a painter who will be displaying her vibrant abstract landscapes in her studio in Melksham. Sculptor Jackie Newton will be welcoming visitors to her studio at her home in Semington Road, where she will be exhibiting her fantastic sculptures of animals and people.
A stone’s throw away, in Atworth, is jewellery maker Marianne Donahoe whose studio was a popular stop on the 2017 trail where she showcases her contemporary silver designs.
Melksham painter Joy Jeffreys will be exhibiting her watercolours in The Greenhouse restaurant in Neston, and textile artist Kay Ames will be exhibiting her striking collage pieces in Chippenham.
