A local printmaker is looking for people to help her create some very unusual art on Liberation Day at the Island’s Steam Museum.
Kerry-Jane Warner wants visitors to help her make large lino prints using the Museum’s old mini-size steamroller.
The special show of Art will help highlight what artists in the Island have to offer during this summer’s Skipton Open Studios.
You can pedal your way from one exhibition to the next as they go on show in artists’ homes, workplaces and heritage sites with Arthur Lamy’s cycle tours. Mr Lamy, aka Arthur the Blue Badge Guide, will also be leading "Art in the Open Air" walking tours around St Helier.
He said: “I look forward to cycling around the studios. We’ll take little-used, scenic lanes and we’ll walk up the hills!
“Art in the Open Air” is a series of hourly walks that will pass many of St Helier’s iconic statues and monuments. Along the way, we’ll discover who created them, why they are there and how they fit into Island history.’
Secondary schoolchildren will be getting arty in the Royal Square from Friday 20 to Sunday 22 June. Le Rocquier School will be helping Ian Rolls, Alasdair Healy and Kerry-Jane Warner create an instant photo booth with a difference – hand drawing portraits, instead of taking photos.
Meanwhile primary school children will be working with L'Office du Jèrriais and artists from Jersey and France and painting large canvas banners in the Royal Square.
Jersey Mencap’s "Taking Part Making Art" will have an Open Studio at Castle Quay during the weekend of 5 and 6 July. The Société Jersiaise Archilse International Photographer in Residence 2014, Yury Toropstov, will also be taking part in this year’s event.
Skipton’s Managing Director Jim Coupe said: “The Jersey Arts Trust has done a great job this year in widening the appeal of Skipton Open Studios to engage the public in a variety of ways in this fantastic community event which celebrates the wealth of artistic talent in Jersey.”
Works by each participating artist in the Open Studios will form an exhibition at CCA Galleries International in Hill Street from 20 to 27 June and one lucky artist will get their work made into a limited edition print.
The print will be made by the Coriander Studios in London - one of Europe's longest established and most prolific producers of limited edition prints.
You can join Kerry-Jane as she steams her way through her print-making at the Pallot Steam Motor & General Museum at 11.30 am and 2.30 pm on Friday 9 May.
