Tea Room Set Alight by Cats, Elephants and Penguins
A local artist has returned to display her work at a popular North Warwickshire venue.
The Volunteer Centre North Warwickshire is pleased to announce the return of Vanessa Wallis who paints for a hobby.
Her work is currently on show in the centre’s volunteer run White Hart Tea Room at the bottom of Long Street in Atherstone until the end of the month.
This time Vanessa has put some of her sculptures into her exhibition as well. These include a pair of paper mache cats, a family of penguins and a patch work elephant made out of salt dough.
Volunteer Centre Spokesperson Michelle Black said “We are delighted to have Vanessa’s exhibition back in the tea room. It’s bright and vibrant and brings something different for people to look at while they have their tea or coffee.”
Pop in, have a look at the exhibition and treat yourself to a drink and a homemade cake while you browse her work.
The White Hart Tea Room offers the exhibition space for free to local artists and community groups each month.
Michelle added “there is now a three shelved glass cabinet for people to display items in. We are opening it up to craft groups to display sewing, sculptures and jewellery in. There is the opportunity to put prices on items that people want to sell. The centre asks for a ten per cent commission which goes back into volunteer run tea room”
In August there will be a photography exhibition by the Hinckley and District Photographic Society. The exhibitions are open Monday – Friday 9.30 – 4.30 with the tea room open 10 – 2pm.
