I am delighted to have been offered a new studio space at Krowji in Cornwall. Krowji is Cornish for ‘workshop’ and is an exciting Art Space in Redruth that provides studios for a wide range of practising artist, crafts people and others working in the arts sector. It is the largest artist hub in Cornwall and has recently added a new eco building to its premises.

The Percy Williams Building has been designed and built to sit alongside the existing premises of the Old Grammar School so that it now offers over 100 studio spaces to artists. I am very excited to be moving into my new studio at the beginning of December.

I shall be taking part in Open Studios here on the 4th – 6th December. More details will follow soon!

Saturday 28th November 2015 11am – 2pm

Thought you’d seen Paper Scissors Stone before? You ain’t seen nothing yet!

The exhibition at the Lewis Gallery at Rugby School is up and running. It’s a great space that easily accommodates the considerable number of works by the 5 artists. I am the guest artist at this particular venue, showing with Caroline Lumb, Hillary Taylor, Jo Howe and Janie Graham.

For those who missed the PV last week, there will be an opportunity to meet the artists on the 28th November 2015 – Entrance to the Lewis Gallery is on Barby Road, Rugby.

In Permindar Kaur’s first few months at the University of Hertfordshire, she has identified several ways in which the residency has, and will, shape her work. “I have a set way of working”, she says, but the chance to operate in a new studio space will disrupt those usual working practices. The locations of her previous studios, in Sheffield at the heart of the old steel industry, in the urban centre of Barcelona, and in rural Sweden, have all influenced her work.  As a result of contact with students in the studio, she hopes she will be prompted to consciously consider her methods, and through process of reflection expects to transform the way she works.

New practices will be possible not least because of access to new equipment. Permindar hopes to take the opportunity to experiment with equipment that is not normally available to her. She was previously constrained to machinery that…
