Events coming soon ..Open Studios in Stroud and the Tetbury MayFair Art exhibition

The online brochure for the Stroud Site festival and Open Studios week-ends is now available on
www.sitefestival.org.uk.  You will see both brochures on the right hand side - follow the links to view all the events in the festival starting at the beginning of May and the studios of the 84 artists will be open for the two week-ends of 10-11 and 17-18 May .  Along with several others in Bisley Road, my studio (page 16 - venue no 13) will be open and all details are listed there.  As usual, the yellow and black signs will indicate where studios are to be found.
This year we were asked for square format photos for the brochure and I was lucky to be able to provide an image of one of my Patchwork quilt stamp collages, which happens to be perfectly square!

Lots of interesting work to see all over Stroud and surrounding villages. Brochures to carry around as you visit the studios are now available in many outlets in Stroud including Tourist Information office in the Sub Rooms.

Worth mentioning here that I will be taking part in the Tetbury MayFair Art exhibition  on the last week-end of May in the Dolphins Hall too! Saturday 24th - Monday 26th May.

Greetings Cards from my own designs

My work has been featured in various magazines and papers, most recently in our local newspaper, Stroud Life.  Stanley Gibbons Stamp Monthly and The American Philatelist, Stroud News and Journal and The Gloucester Citizen have also covered interesting stories and included some of my stamp collage pictures over the last 12 months.   I'm often asked  where people can purchase cards and the answer to this is that you can e mail me direct or visit my studio to see the complete range during the forthcoming Open Studios Festival in Stroud (Site 13)  which will be on Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th and Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th May from 10.30 until 6 pm.   My cards are also on sale in Made in Stroud in the centre  of Stroud itself. Torbay Stamp centre have some on show too, as does the Taunton Stamp shop on Bridge Street, Taunton.  Please check their hours of opening as these do tend to vary.  Ten designs are also currently available to purchase on ebay on UPA's pages (just google Rachel Markwick Stamp collage cards and you will find them easily!)and you can use paypal in this case.
