As the new year makes its steady progress, at Thorpe Market Church we want to welcome you to our Snowdrop Sundays – this year on the 4th, 11th, 18th & 25th February between 12 & 4pm. There is ample parking and you are sure of a welcome in the warm church by our wonderful volunteers. There will be an art exhibition by different artists on each Sunday as well as the chance to browse the second-hand books and relax with friends over hot drinks and our famed home-made cakes before (or after or both!) a gentle walk around the churchyard to see our annual display of nature’s early flowering – the snowdrops.
Our artists this year, who are showing on both the Saturday and Sunday of the snowdrop weekends, are:
February 4th Rebecca Woods, a photographer whose “photography is a love affair with life”. You can see more about her varied work at www.newsightphotographyuk.com
February 11th Amanda Springall-Rogers, who has shown previously as part of the Swallowtail Fine Artists group, will be showing alongside two other painters and a textile artist. Amanda’s work reflects the beauty, wonder and detail of the natural world.
February 18th – Rosalie Osborne-Gibb exhibits regularly at St Margarets and we are pleased to welcome her once again. With her love and inspiration of coast and countryside, from surf and sunsets to wildlife and landscapes, she will be showing the many aspects of her art in a bright and colourful exhibition. More about Rosalie is at https://www.rosaliegibbart.com/about
February 25th – East Coast Artz a group of local artists showing a diverse range of paintings, prints, cards, textiles, crafts and driftwood sculptures often inspired by their local environment.
David Wright will also have some of his amazing wire sculptures on show, some in the churchyard.
There will also be musical interludes by Alan Morris on the church’s Norwich organ and maybe the odd guest singer.
