On 23rd & 24th August we will be holding our annual Art &
Craft Weekend
in Bewdley. We have various locations around the town to
accommodate
both individuals and groups who would like to exhibit and also
space on
the riverside for those who prefer to bring their own stall. The
aim, as usual,
is to attract both professional artists and craft workers and also
keen amateurs
in whatever style or medium they operate; additionally we are also
pleased
to hear from those who work with community groups.
If you would like more details please contact Maggie or myself and
we will
do our best to help.
Bewdley Chamber Maids is a small voluntary organisation which
organises
various events during the year including Bewdley Christmas
Lights Festival
which takes place on 29th November this year. Please have a look
at our
website for pictures of last years event

Dear Friends,
ART & CRAFT WEEKEND 23RD
/ 24TH AUGUST 2014
Those of you who have taken part in
previous years will notice that we have now changed the date to the August Bank
Holiday Weekend. We feel that the increase in visitor numbers to the town was
beneficial.
As usual we are inviting art & craft
workers in any medium or style to take part whether professional or a keen
amateur. In addition we would like to welcome any antique traders for our
Riverside Market.
There are many ways in which you can take
part.
1) Our main exhibition area is St.
Anne’s Church and you can exhibit your work for a small charge
(paintings etc. £1.00 each, craft
items – negotiable). These can be offered for sale if you wish, but just
make sure there is a price attached. All art & crafts are welcome –
painting to pottery, floral art, glass,
sugar craft, jewellery etc. etc. The exhibition is set up on Friday
evening from 8.00 p.m. and the
church is either manned or locked throughout the event. Exhibits are
removed at 4.30 p.m. on Sunday.
We realise there may be a problem caused by holidays and so we are
willing to accept item for display
at a date to suit you. Please note that we MUST have a list of artwork
for exhibition by 16th August
so that we can prepare a summary.
2) We welcome larger exhibitions from Art
Groups, schools or other organizations for which the Guild Hall
is available.
3) Trade Stalls – we have space
(some under cover) for anyone who would like a stall for either Saturday or
Sunday (£20.00 per day or £30.00 for both days)
4) Riverside Market (Saturday 24th
only). As this is a Bank Holiday it will therefore be hot & sunny (!!)
so we hope there will be lots of visitors to the town and we will be
holding a market on the riverside.
Everyone is welcome but particularly those selling art/crafts/antiques.
You will need to bring your own
stall/gazebo and there will be a charge of £20 (charities – donations as
usual). Please note this is a hard
standing surface so you will need to bring weights and cable ties for
your stall.
This year we also hope to have ‘Art on the Railings’ – more details
later.
5) Demonstrations / Master Classes –
would you like to show others what you do? Again St. Annes or the
Guild Hall will be available.
6) Open Studios - if you would like
to open your studio as part of this weekend we would love to hear from
you so that we can include you in our publicity.
We will keep you informed of any additions
to the programme and we are looking forward to meeting friends both old and
new.
If you have any ideas please let us know as
soon as possible and we will try our best to include them.
Don’t forget Bewdley Baptist Church will be
open on Saturday 23rd with
lots of crafts, artwork, and ‘hands on’ activities.
As always, please spread the word to as
many people as possible.
Best wishes,
Ann (Tel 01299 404226 / 01384 238729 or
