Art Fair in Canterbury

In the black and white room (with a touch of red) :: Lucifer IV // Cano Cafenol // No flashI went to the Canterbury Art Fair today. My friend Rapunzel (aka Polka-Dot Lisa) had some work in the show, so we thought we’d tram it down to Canterbury and check out the fair.

There was some good, and some very bad art, mostly 2D, but there were some interesting sculptures too in rusty iron and some made from driftwood.

The fair was held in Canterbury Primary School, which was built in 1908. There were lovely stained glass windows everywhere. After we finished the circuit, and browsed in the well-stocked giftshop (handcrafts, jewellery, prints etc), we went to the Canvas Café and enjoyed some homemade lemon syrup cake with our coffee. There were even Crayola crayons on the table for kids to draw on the butcher’s paper tablecloths – a cute touch. 

I didn’t buy anything (apart from a little bag of meringues), and it was a pleasant afternoon. It did inspire me, however, to pick up my own oil pastels and get back into the drawing. But I need a studio first.
