Upcoming Events
Flowmotion Art @ The Hatchery - Friday 01 March 2024 to Tuesday 30 April 2024
Marine life and the ocean provides such an inspiration to the arts, and we are proud to have hosted many exhibitions from photography to pottery showcasing local talent here at our centre in Padstow.
This March and April it is Kathryn Burgess turn and her incredible ‘Flowmotion Art’ will be on display in our centre from 1st March to the end of April.
Kathryn’s art is created using the generic term of ‘fluid art’, which covers a range of techniques to move liquid acrylic paint across the canvas, rather than a more traditional style of applying paint with a brush.
The exhibition is included with all annual passes
