Eve Marshall: Faffing with Fluff
An exploration of flora and fauna in felt

Eve's artwork is often reflections of nature and wildlife. She loves to take photos as she wanders and then recreates ideas from them using her palette of wools and silks.She creates art that is made up of 50+ layers of colours and textures so that you can get lost as you look in to the finished piece.
Eve is running a workshop on 17 May here at the Gallery where you can create a wet and needle felted picture.

Mike Gale: Rural Perspective

Hiring Gallery Space
Floor One Gallery was established in September 2001 to provide more exhibiting opportunities for artists within Warwickshire and beyond. Individual artists and groups of artists can hire the space for two week slots to stage self-organised exhibitions. Artists get the use of 17.75 linear metres of wall space clad to the same standard as the Art Gallery on the second floor. All areas of exhibition organisation are the responsibility of the hirer, including the marketing, installation and supervision of the exhibition. The two or three week slots run from MONDAY to MONDAY.
The current fee for a 2 week hire period is £152.50. Public liability insurance is required (available to purchase for £32.40).
We now hire the Balcony Gallery as a space for freelance artists. The Balcony Gallery has a total of 10.98 linear wall space and is available for hire for 4 week periods. The hire fee for 4 weeks is currently £192.00.
