Muddy Fingers Pottery launch night

Muddy Fingers Pottery launch night
Friday, 12th July, 6 – 8pm
Free entry 

Mushroom Works’ newest tenants, Muddy Fingers Pottery

are all unpacked and settled into their studios. Now that they’re in, Marv and Diane are eager to make themselves known to everyone and let more people know what they do.

As a nice icebreaker, they are having a launch night at Mushroom Works on Friday, 12th July between 6 – 8pm. Marv will be doing a quick demonstration of his skills on the potters wheel and will tell you how you can get your hands dirty too.

Muddy Fingers Pottery will be running regular night classes (for novices and more accomplished hands) on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings between 6pm – 8:30pm. Their new round of classes start on 16th July, so get in touch and get booked onto one of these nights. There’ll also be lots of tenant's work for sale around the building at fantastically affordable prices.

Taster classes (two sessions) are £30 and a six-week class is £80. All materials and tools are included within the price. For more information on Muddy Fingers Pottery and their classes, go to:

Tide's out at St. Mary's lighthouse

Mushroom Works artist, Joanne Wishart will be transforming the gallery into a seaside haven for all you beachcombers out there to come and explore.  Joanne will be showcasing a selection of new paintings inspired by some of our North East coastal landmarks with St Mary’s Island, Whitley Bay and Tynemouth Priory, all captured in Joanne's unique style.

Joanne will have lots of other seaside treats in store as she's been working on some new techniques using printmaking, stitching and mixed media to create and develop her very individual artwork on traditional seaside deckchairs.

So, grab your buckets and spades, put on the suncream and come and be the first to see her new colourful creations which will transport you back to those care-free days of walking along the sand, eating ice-cream, and relaxing on a 'seaside holiday'.

There'll be lots of affordable work to buy from greetings cards and ceramic coasters to limited edition prints and smaller artworks
that will be available during the exhibition.
