Plymouth’s new Ocean Studios
Local artists Tessa Jane and Laure Bury (both having featured in Moor & Tavy Links) have recently been selected to be resident Artists at Ocean Studios, Royal William Yard. Despite a great deal of interested artists and stiff competition ‘our’ ladies are proud to be spreading their wings from here in the heart of the Moorland to a seaside studio!
Ocean Studios had their inaugural exhibition, opened by Sir Nicholas Serota and Tudor Evans in July. The exhibition runs until Nov 7th and then all the residents are to have a Christmas show. We hope Laure and Tessa will be selected as part of that show and so follow in the footsteps of RICHARD DEACON, GRAYSON PERRY, BILL WOODROW RA, GILLIAN WEARING OBE, MARY KELLY and HEW LOCKE.
The Studios are normally private so appointments need to be made with the artists themselves or look out for the next open studio event. See http://oceanstudios.org.uk http://laurebury.com and www.tessajane.co.uk for more information
