Guest Artist: Rob Wilson Mixed Media Artist
All the artists & makers will be demonstrating their techniques on their stands.
We are delighted to welcome Guest Artist Rob Wilson who will be demonstrating his mixed media techniques on his stand in front of the stage. Rob is an award winning mixed media artist. His unique painting style involves layering of paint with vintage sewing patterns and reference material; lines of stitching are often added to complete the artworks. His abstract paintings of cityscapes & landscapes are colourful and vibrant with an eye for graphic design. Rob is currently experimenting with oil paints and portraiture.
