‘A FLIGHT OF FISH'
16th October to 17th November 2007
is the title of our current exhibition of richly coloured decorated glass vessels and canvas wall panels by MARGARET JOHNSON who has lived in Devon for many years.
It is on show at the Salar Gallery from 16 th October to 17 th November and opening times are as follows: Tues/Thurs/Fri/Sat 10am-1pm and 2-5pm and by appointment. We are also open late on Tuesday Nov 6 th from 6-8pm.
She obtained her BA Hons in Fine Art & Sculpture, at Goldsmith's College, 1974-78.
A postgraduate course at Exeter University followed in 1981.
After many years spent teaching, Margaret decided to develop her own ideas exploring the use of glass with her art. Eventually she developed a technique using strawsilk on recycled glass, producing wonderfully colourful and unique bowls and vases for discerning collectors.
She is currently using her combined techniques to produce vessels, glass panels and tables, each item being unique. There are round bowls, square platters, shallow dishes, vases with fluted tops etc. in transparent shades of blue, turquoise and green as well as bright rich ochres and burnt oranges. Nearly all of these are decorated with fish motif – sometimes one or two, sometimes a whole shoal, seemingly suspended in space through the translucent glass, like a flight of birds in the air.
Having successfully produced her artwork on glass for many years, Margaret has now also combined her techniques of painting and using strawsilk fibre, together with gold and silver leaf to produce a range of pictures on canvas to complement the glass designs. She creates truly original pieces of art and no two pieces are ever the same.

Feilds of Vision
An exhibition of approximately forty photographs by James Ravilious chosen by his widow Robin to illustrate the unspoilt traditional country life of the area surrounding Beaford [including Hatherleigh] as he found it in the 1970s and ’80s. This travelling exhibition was launched last September as part of Beaford Arts’ 40th anniversary celebrations and can be viewed at the Salar Gallery throughout April starting on the 3rd.

JULIA BARTON'S
‘Material Evidence'

Solo exhibition at Salar Gallery entitled ‘Material Evidence', October 31st to Nov 25th 2006, multimedia prints and paintings. Julia's recent visits to Southwest France have resulted in work inspired by colours and textiles found in ancient buildings and evidence of man's traces left behind in them. Digital photography and earth pigments are used in combination with mono-printing, silkscreen printings and paintings onto canvas to make abstract images.

Julia finished her Fine Art Degree at Falmouth College of Arts in 2003, having previously worked as a textile artist and teacher. She now works full time on her painting and print making as well as opening her large garden under the N.G. Scheme.
