Upcoming Exhibitions

Anglian Potters Christmas Online Exhibition and Shop
I have got 6 of my ceramic sculptures and three charity Christmas decorations in this new Virtual Exhibition hosted by Anglian Potters. This year the chosen charity for the Christmas decorations is MND.
This year there are 60 potters exhibiting in the online exhibition so there is a very good choice.
The exhibition will run from the 20th of November to the of 18th December 2020 and it will be updated as items are sold.
I am not having a Christmas Open Studio this year but of course you are always welcome to get in touch with me as usual by email or phone or by my website.
I hope you enjoy visiting the exhibition https://www.anglianpottersexhibition.com

Designed and Created Website
I am pleased and proud to be one of the artist/ craftspeople to be included on the new Designed and Created website being launched by my daughter in law Laura Martino. She is specialising in Hand made objects and art for ones home and is taking a different approach to her website that I think is unusual and design orientated. Take a look and see what she has set up. www.designedandcreated.com
Laura is showing my individual one off wall pieces and the flattened vases which are based on the functional domestic items we use every day, like teapots and cups and saucers.
As things get bought new and different work will be added so there will be an ever changing variety and new artists and designers will be added as the website grows.

Cambridge Open Studios
This year I am very pleased to be showing my work with three other artists at the Fen Ditton Gallery.
Helen Martino. Ceramics
Rosemary Cullum. Oil paintings
Janet Powell. Silver and Gold Contemporary Jewellery

Normally on July weekends we welcome the public to our work spaces. This year due to COVID-19 and nationwide lockdown, the 2020 Cambridge Open Studios take a slightly different form with windows across Cambridge showing the works of the artists and makers made in their studios.
Fen Ditton Gallery, was due to host a mixed exhibition of four Cambridge artists and makers.
Now the gallery has an online exhibition https://www.fendittongal#C51186 showing the work and Open Studio Windows.

Helen Martino in Anglian Potters Online Exhibition and Shop
I have got 6 of my ceramic sculptures in this new Virtual Exhibition hosted by Anglian Potters.
I have been a member of Anglian Potters for many years and have been part of there real Exhibitions many times in the past. Anglian Potters had the great idea to do this to support their potter members during Lockdown. With galleries and public gathering spaces closed it is a great opportunity to get an update to what 26 of us have all been making and there is even a secure way of buying on the website too.
The selection of potters and pots will change each month. I am included from the 1st May to 1st June.
Of course you are always welcome to get in touch with me as usual by email or phone or by my website.
I hope you enjoy visiting the exhibition www.anglianpotters.org.uk/online-exhibition
