Ursa Print by Jamie Gillman now available.

Below: a set of images by Claudio Ahlers taken on Friday 10th May in the Bearpit,
at the unveiling of Ursa by Mayor George Ferguson.

Come to unveiling of URSA Bear Sculpture Friday 10th May at 6.30pm, in the Bearpit, bottom of Stokes Croft.

stokescroft — Tue, 07 May 2013 15:42:07 +0000

On Friday evening Mayor George Ferguson will unveil “Ursa”, a major new work by Jamie Gillman. Symbolic of the Bottom up approach to regeneration for which Stokes Croft is increasingly renowned, the bear stands on the roof of the men’s toilets in the Bearpit, a potent emblem for the Bearpit and the City.

A joint initiative between PRSC and the Bearpit Improvement Group, the sculpture reinforces the notion of Stokes Croft and the Bearpit as an Outdoor Gallery, and was funded by a grant from Arts Council England

There will be music provided by the Ambling band and others, and performance in the Bearpit will run into the evening.

The Art Container will host an exhibition of work by Jamie Gillman, which will include several original works and a limited edition A2 signed print of Ursa which will be offered at £20.

ALL WELCOME!

Last Day Promo Exhibition of Stokes Croft’s Jacknife Screen Prints down in the Bearpit SATURDAY 4th May 2013

stokescroft — Wed, 01 May 2013 20:41:58 +0000

It’s coming up to the last day of the Jacknife exhibition in the PRSC arts container down in the Bearpit on Saturday 4th May, so we’re holding a big final last day sale. So if you’ve seen one of the big screen prints and thought, I so wanted that one, come and get it. All the large screen prints will be £15.00 instead of the normal £20 & £25 range. It’s a fantastic price for a great selection of mostly Chris Hopewell’s work although we still have a very limited number of the exclusive Sepr – PRSC Snail screen prints available. So come and down, maybe on your way through to the Picton Street Market which is happening up in Stokes Croft.

Then we’ll be getting prepared for the next Bear exhibition opening on the following Saturday on the 10th May with the long-awaited arrival of the Bear. George Ferguson, Mayor of Bristol, will be opening the event. So there’s a lot going on.

Boycott Tesco Mural “Intervention”. Should it be repaired?

The Boycott Tesco Mural has been “Got at”.

This is arguably a significant piece of Stokes Croft history. Should it be repaired, or is it time for change?

China Decorating Workshop this Sunday 3rd Feb. 2013,12-4pm. Just in time for Valentine’s Day…

stokescroft — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 17:32:45 +0000

Stokes Croft China runs decorating workshops on the first Sunday of every month in the Stokes Croft China Factory Studios on the Ground Floor of 37-39 Jamaica Street, Stokes Croft.

Take the opportunity to use our eclectic and historic range of lithographic print from Staffordshire to decorate English Fine Bone China ware of your choice. You will use the work spaces and heaters from Staffordshire’s now-closed factories and will learn the techniques employed by Staffordshire decorators.

You will have the opportunity to create you own designs in your own style, and they will be fired in our kilns on the premises.

And you will only pay just about the same price as decorated ware in our Gallery/shop.

A mug will cost you a tenner to decorate, while a Wedgwood teapot will set you back about fifty quid.
What’s not to like?

Dates for 2013
Sunday February 3rd
Sunday March 3rd
Sunday April 7th
Sunday May 5th
Sunday June 2nd
Sunday July 7th

VALENTINES DAY IS COMING SOON!

Above: Some of the historic print available for use.

Workers from Second Step collecting their finished work after their successful workshop earlier in the year.

This is the type of work for which Stokes Croft China is becoming increasingly renowned.

All of the print employed in this work is available to workshop participants.
Currently, there is no need to book in advance,
but this is likely to change owing to the increasing popularity of our workshops.
