this summer, Painswick is once again host to a whole range of artistic endeavour, with a full programme of cultural activities to entertain and engage you.

the festival opens with the celebrated Art Couture Painswick event. the famous churchyard will host the live@ACP! Music Night on the evening of 14th July, followed by the main event on Sunday 15th July featuring fabulous wearable works of art on parade around the village.

for the thespians amongst us, the Painswick Players will be treading the boards with their summer production ‘last tango in Painswick’ and the Oliver troupe will celebrate the 200 year anniversary of dickens’ birth with words from ‘Oliver twist’ and music from the acclaimed musical, ‘Oliver!’

during August, the rococo Garden will stage its third annual Art in the Garden exhibition, organised separately from the Painswick festival it is an award winning art exhibition attracting many renowned artists.

the Gloucestershire Guild of Craftsmen have been holding their annual exhibition in the town since 1937. this year’s show at the Painswick Centre from 4th – 26th August will

include work by nationally recognised designer makers as well as up-and-coming new members.

local artists, both amateur and professional, will be holding individual and group exhibitions throughout the festival, and the Artist Studios in the Painswick Centre will be open every Wednesday – Sunday in August. Newman fine Art will also be opening their doors for an exclusive exhibition on victorian Watercolours. the Arts festival will culminate with a Bank Holiday weekend Art trail enabling you to visit the studios and homes of over a dozen artists working in the village.

Painswick itself is a work of art, hewn by generations of Cotswold stonemasons, so take your time to enjoy the town and all it has to offer. We would like to especially thank rococo Garden, Moulton Haus and the falcon Inn of Painswick, Creative Picture framing of Cirencester, together with all the participating artists, for their generous support of this publication. We hope you enjoy your visit.

GLouCEstErsHirE GuiLD oF CrAFtsmEn Summer Show4th – 26th August, 10.00 – 17.00, the Painswick CentreFor those seeking high quality contemporary British designer crafts, the Painswick Summer Show is a must, providing an opportunity both to buy or commission original work and to meet the makers.

There will be a memorial display of work by long-term Guild member Ray Finch of Winchcombe Pottery who sadly died earlier this year.

Fittingly the guest exhibitor is Joe Finch, a renowned potter in his own right. Also on show will be work by the best of this year’s crop of craft graduates – one lucky maker will be the recipient of the Gordon Russell award.

The show is complemented by a lively programme of demonstrations and workshops. Workshops run from 10.00 – 16.30 at the Painswick Centre (all priced at £54 including materials). guildcrafts.org.uk
