Birmingham Open Studios - Hosting ‘Paint Live’ With Mitch Schofield

About

We feel so privileged to be taking part in this year's 𝗕𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗵𝗮𝗺 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼𝘀 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟮

The Birmingham Open Studios, now in its sixth year, is an established event in the Birmingham arts calendar and is back with over 100 artists participating.

Owen De Visser, founder of Birmingham Open Studios explains that the event spanning two consecutive weekends is all about breaking down barriers between artists and art lovers, and we second that motion! Here at Seventh Circle, making art accessible to everybody in a welcoming environment is what we are all about.

For the event, local artist and encaustic expert 𝗠𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 will be joining us in the gallery to demonstrate her practice, the 2000 year old technique of encaustic painting in modern times. Mitch paints with molten beeswax, pigments and tree resin and applies extreme heat to fuse the artwork together. We didn't know much about encaustic art before we met Mitch so we're excited to be able to share this with the public. The dates for the diary are both 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟰𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝟮𝟱𝘁𝗵 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝟭𝟭𝗮𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝟱𝗽𝗺 looking forward to seeing you!!
