Welcome to Town Farm Art Show at the home & studio of Christine Bass which she opens to the public once a year. The show always aims for an exciting & varied mix of artists & makers. 2017 brings us Lindsay Waring with her lively wire sculptures of animals and birds. The garden will also be graced by Hazel Godfrey's inventive willow sculpture and basketry, and Laurie Keck's beautiful ceramics. Meanwhile, the house will be full of paintings, illustration, ceramics, woodcarving, woodcraft, jewellery and Egyptian quilts.
The show is perfectly timed for Christmas. This is your chance to buy that special Christmas gift, unique & hand-crafted by professional artists & makers, most of whom live & work in Bucks, Beds and Herts.
