Amber Louise

From the 7th to the 16th July 2012,

photographer Amber Louise and her ceramic artist mother Dawn Thirlaway

present the exhibition Transmutation.

"Transmutation" - Definition: The action of changing or the state of being changed into another form

Over the last five years both artists have gained strength and wisdom through the creative process.

The camera lens has been the chosen method for Amber Louise

to find beauty in the world during life’s difficult and challenging moments.

Whereas, used as a modality, Dawn has delved deep into the clay

to find purpose and meaning for her life.

The opening celebration will take

Everyone is welcome to attend.

Light refreshments available.

Transmutation showcases a selection of ceramic, mixed media and photographic works.
