Angela Vernon Bates is a lady of immense creative talent which ranges from the ability to produce expressive and beautiful artwork and decorative items to being a trained and highly experience operatic contralto. This latter talent has taken her to many parts of the world both to perform and study and she is well-known locally for performing with her two musical colleague, Jacqueline Evill - soprano and Christopher Harris - piano. Their very successful concert held recently at the United Church, Croft Road helped to raise a splendid amount for the Arts Festival.
Angela has also studied painting and says "I have been influenced by Elizabethan Miniaturists via the Pre-Raphaelite to the decorative applied art of 19th-Century France. I work mainly in textiles, silk, linen, etc. and am exploring the translucency of light through semi-transparent fabrics." She is also a gilder.
You will find a treasure trove of unusual, decorative items including hand-painted silk and textiles, leather, jewellery, furniture and much more, along with a very warm welcome at Angela's Studio at Green Cottage, Green Lane, Crowborough TN6 2DF. The Studio will be open on 24th and 25th September from 11 am - 5 pm. You will find Green Cottage a short distance from the Crowborough Hill end on the right-hand side from the junction. Enjoy!
