One Work Gallery: Michael Fletcher
'Harvest Field'
Wednesday 4th November
Talk 2.30pm Wednesday 4th November

This month in the One Work Gallery, we are showing a painting called Harvest Field by Michael Fletcher. Michael was born in Tetbury, Gloucestershire, in 1944, but grew up in South West London. He was taught by Patrick Caulfield at Chelsea School of Art. He lives in Wivenhoe and is a member of Colchester Art Society. ‘My subject matter continues to be primarily the landscape. Observed, remembered or invented, sometimes one picture combining all these elements. Occasionally using the landscape as a stage to enact little dramas.’

Unfortunately, Michael Fletcher is unable to join us for our monthly artists' talks, but has written a statement about the artwork which will be read by Sue Bennett on Wednesday 4th November, followed by a discussion with the audience on the painting on show.

BOOKCLUB
Craft Land by James Fox
Wednesday  11th November
6.45pm Soup, 7pm Book Club

Britain has always been a craft land. For generations what we made with our hands defined our identities, built our communities and shaped our regions. Craftland chronicles the vanishing skills and traditions that once governed every aspect of life on these shores.

Travelling the length of Britain, from the Scilly Isles to the Scottish Highlands, James Fox seeks out the country’s last remaining master craftspeople. Stepping inside the workshops of blacksmiths and wheelwrights, cutlers and coopers, bell-founders and watchmakers, we glimpse not only our past but another way of life — one that is not yet lost and whose wisdom could shape our future.

The Nose Book Club mainly reads non-fiction books. Meets once a month on Wednesday evenings. A bowl of soup is served, followed by a discussion on the book.
