WARMINGHURST CHRISTMAS TREE FESTIVAL 8 - 10 Decemb

WARMINGHURST CHRISTMAS TREE FESTIVAL 8 - 10 December 10 am - 4 ⁠pm daily ⁠
⁠
The Festival runs from tomorrow through Sunday in this gem of a Saxon church with Georgian box pews nestled under the South Downs. It has a completely unique atmosphere - it is my favourite church in the whole of Sussex. ⁠
⁠
For three days it is brimming with festive cheer with a programme of music, poetry readings, carols, stalls, mince pies and mulled drinks, organised by the wonderful Rachel Webster ⁠
⁠
At 11am Friday the Sussex folk group Cotillion sing their seasonal tunes while the visitors wander. ⁠
⁠
Saturday 10am-4pm- is somewhat literary :-⁠
Morning 10.30-12.30 - Janie Hextall of Lautus Press will be signing copies of her beautiful anthologies of collected poems, the latest just published called 'At Home'.⁠
⁠
Afternoon 1pm-3.30pm- local award winning author Tracy Fells will be signing and chatting about her new publication ' Naming of Moths' - a journey through a tapestry of narratives that span time, culture, and the depths of the human experience.⁠
⁠
As accompaniment from 2-4pm, Pullman Jam, the talented five piece Bluegrass band play an eclectic mix of songs and instrumentals, on fiddle, mandolin, banjo, guitar and bass.⁠
⁠
Saturday at 4pm - Candlelit Carols amongst the trees with a few readings, mince pies and mulled drink.⁠
⁠
SundayMorning - Music with Andrew Bernadi accompanied by Christina Maude ⁠

I was blown away by the exhibition ' A Collecting

I was blown away by the exhibition ' A Collecting Odyssey' @christiesinc of highlights from the collection of @christian_levett from the @mouginsmuseum of Classical Art going under the hammer tomorrow. The collection juxtaposes pieces from the ancient and modern worlds. ⁠
⁠
I have selected just a few here. The most powerful is this lead image Medusa by Damen Hirst, followed by a scared Egyptian funeral bronze Horus Falcon (664-525 bc) Next up is Frink's Midas Head and a monumental Roman Marble of Emperor Lucius Verus. Commanding the room as you enter is Anthony Gormley's life -size two part sculpture Reflection. The connections and dialogues between these works of art which span millennia is astonishing. Linked by a common spark of creation and invisible threads of history. I hugely regret I never went to the museum to see the entire collection before its dispersal. Given the scarcity of fully provenanced antiquities on the market - the sale of the collection is a rare opportunity for museums and collectors. ⁠

It was lovely to visit @amyshuckburghart in her studio today to select some new work for a client. Amy is a true colourist and I love her pastels working with sticks of glorious pigment straight onto the surface. It’s always fascinating to see an artist at work you learn so much. What a treasure trove of sensual delight to dispel this awful freezing fog. We still have a selection of Amy’s work in the gallery and is has been wonderfully received so do get in touch if you would like to visit we are very much open by appointment and are just outside Petworth.

Displayed in our gallery are a selection of porcelain pots by the talented @Nicholas.lees. Among them are the captivating Red Orbit, adorned with a soluble gold glaze absorbed into the surface and the equally mesmerizing Blue Orbit, featuring a soluble cobalt glaze. @gregpayce, a renowned ceramist, will be joining forces with Nick for an exhibition titled 'Liminal and Lenticular' at Messums Wiltshire @messumswest, set to commence on December 16th. In this extraordinary showcase, both artists explore the interplay of light and shadow, constantly shifting boundaries and thresholds, creating an illusion of uncertain space and gravity. Prepare to be awe-inspired by this show and make the trek to Tisbury. ⁠
⁠
The gallery is hung with a fabulous array of work and we are open by appointment please just contact us to visit. ⁠
