Saturday 23rd March to Wednesday 4th April
The Station, Richmond, DL10 4LD
Suzanne and Victoria’s spring exhibition has become an annual event at The Station. Their love of colour once again bringing them together; Suzanne, a talented Lampwork Artist and Jewellery Designer and Victoria, specialising in creating original artwork using a tissue paper collage technique. The exhibition promises to be uplifting, displaying their stunning, unique and very original work.Victoria returns to the Station for her only exhibition outside of her Studio base at Eggleston Hall Gardens.
Turning the Station mezzanine into a blaze of colour with her tissue paper collages of the many flowers and meadows that call their home Teesdale. The fine detailing that Victoria encapsulates re-creating these wonderful, reflective and peaceful images
This exhibition will enable people to have a first viewing of Victoria’s 2019 tissue paper collage collections. This includes original artworks, limited and open edition prints along with her growing range of bespoke products inspired by and featuring, many of her tissue paper collage designs, including coasters, placemats, fine china mugs, greeting cards, notebooks, sketchbooks and journals.
Lampwork artist Suzanne Tweddle’s studio is situated in the beautiful market town of Barnard Castle from which she designs and hand makes glass beads, buttons, baubles, flowers and jewellery using a technique known as lampworking – ‘the art of making small objects from glass rods melted in the flame of a torch’.
Suzanne's discovery and exploration of the art of lampworking has drawn her towards the use of glass as a medium to incorporate into her jewellery designs, injecting colour and contrast to the silver and other materials used.
'Lampworking is a technique that enables me to design and individually make beautiful beads with intricate detail, making each bead unique. Colour is what motivates my designs, from the brightest oranges to the coolest blues. The combinations evolve through experimentation reflected in nature, fabrics and fashion.'
With 15 years of bead making experience Suzanne also offers tuition in lampworking at her studio in Barnard Castle.

Previous Exhibition: 'Autumn Exhibition' Gardener's Cottage Studio, Eggleston Hall Gardens, Eggleston DL12 0AG
Still on with commissions, it's been a very busy year. Traditionally I have been known for working with bright, summer colours and since working from my new studio I know that my work has moved on in many different ways. I have been very interested in seeing how my style may change as I continue to work from the studio within the Eggleston Hall Gardens through the autumn and winter seasons. The colours in the gardens are fantastic at the moment, there's gorgeous reds and golds and of course greens, well worth a visit.I have been commissioned to work on a very autumnal scene and although at first was feeling a touch uninspired, I took a stroll through the gardens and returned with all varieties of seed heads, thistles and flowers at their very 'Autumnal,' stage. I found some very interesting challenges to work with and with my inspiration and enthusiasm restored I couldn't wait to get started..
Visitors are welcome to visit the studio throughout the autumn and winter. Usual opening times are Thursdays and Fridays 10.30 - 2.pm, Saturdays and Sundays 10.30 - 5pm. These opening times are not guaranteed due to weather conditions and family commitments. I can be there most days and will most often be there more than the days and hours stated above so please, if you're thinking of visiting the studio and gallery, leave a messageand I will confirm opening times more specifically.
