Our theme therefore is the fusion of ideas and enthusiasm\, camaraderie and support that is shown by everyone and fostered in the studio.\n\n\n\nFo r this exhibition\, members have chosen the work they are most happy wit h\, completed in the previous two years\, since our last exhibition at S idespace\, or that which most aptly reflects their intention. This is an opportunity for all members to come together\, meet and enjoy each othe rs' work\, and to show it off to their friends\, family and the public.\ n\n\n\nJackson is based in a home studio and has been running in one for m or another since 2014\, having grown from 4 people on a Saturday morni ng to over 80 in any one week. There are 8 separate sessions of around 6 - 10 people plus one-on-one times available on request.\n\n\n\nOur mott o is "feel the fear and do it your way!" Experimentation is the name of the game - individuality is encouraged. Members are exposed to new artis ts and styles on a regular basis and have the opportunity to try many di fferent mediums. The more we learn about artists and styles\, and hear a bout their artistic journeys\, the more we experiment\, find out what we like (and don't like) develop artistic confidence\, and develop our own styles.\n\n\n\nEach week I provide an Artist of the Week with informati on\, videos and exercises at the start of every session (everything prov ided) and then after that everyone gets on with their own projects.  \;\n\n\n\nEach of these sessions are complete in their own right - the a rtist might be from anywhere in the world and any art period/movement or genre. Members are welcome to make suggestions\, so each week you could be anywhere in art history - this keeps it fresh and fun!\n\n\n\nThe st udio is fully stocked with oils\, acrylics\, watercolour\, gouache\, dra wing materials and much more. The only items members are required to pro vide are their own brushes and canvases and ideas!\n\n\n\nJackson is sui table for anyone over 18 who is interested in art\, art theory and art h istory and wants to have a go\, no previous experience or exposure to ar t is necessary - and no pressure! You take as much or as little as you l ike - it's up to you - beginners are most welcome\, likewise those with experience who want like-minded artists to paint with and share ideas.\n \n\n\nA slideshow will be showing on an iPad at the exhibition – so yo u will be able to see everyone at work in the studio plus some of our ar t exercises.\n\n\n\nI am very proud of Jackson - such a great crew who s upport each other every step of the way\, and I am thrilled to present o ur work to you now\, I hope you enjoy the show.Thank you."- Sarah Weaver \, Art Tutor and Mentor\, Jackson Studio \n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility\n\n\n \nAccessible Toilets (Level 1 + Ground Floor : The Courtyard)Registered Assistance Animals welcomeWheelchair Accessible (via Lift in The Courtya rd)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTomoko Watts.
