Today the Ladies met lots of visitors to the gallery (including the lost ones who needed re-directing) and were joined in the art of conversation by; Vanessa, Jackie, Moira, Clare, Ellie, Sue, Martin, Cathy and Mark. Topics of conversation included; the need for women to reclaim adjectives, body adornment, the resurgence of poetry in the public consciousness, artist groups, 17th C Salons, the influence of landscape, artists and empty shops, words and art, dialogue, listening and eavesdropping.
Visitors to the Salon received an individually pressed embossed card (made on the press at Can Serrat) with details for this blog.
Ellie visited the Salon (with her BIG DRAW day sketch book) and captured Jo in her Vivienne Westwood skirt.
As the Salon visitors wended their way home to; Chipping Camden, Compton Verney, Leicester, Chipping Norton and Coventry the Ladies waved goodbye to their splendid weekend retreat.

Lovely to meet you, Ladies. I seem to remember our chat included: the importance of rigorous criticism; selfish vs focused; Arts Council Grants; that house near Stratford that’s awarded to a woman a year to write in; balance between individual space and group inspiration/support; oh and whether one could make earrings out of those lovely seed pods. Cheers.

Lovely to meet you too Vanessa – do keep in touch – hopefully The Ladies will be able to hear your words on the air waves before too long.
