Bob lives and works from his home near Halesworth and can be contacted by email at healthimages@btinternt.com) BDA – The BeginningBlack Dog Arts was formed August 2007. Its aim is 'to develop the fine and applied arts in the Bungay area. This shall be achieved through a member-led association' and 'organise and promote events and activities including exhibitions, meetings, workshops, lectures, classes, seminars and courses, plus any other event deemed appropriate'. Our members range from well-known artists and crafts people as well as those who paint/craft for pleasure. The Gardens Art TrailBlack Dog Arts 2010 Bungay Gardens Art Trail took place on Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th July. The trail started at the garden in what was the British Oak pub in Bardolph Road and finishes at 1, The Tannery in Outney Road, accessed by going over Cock Bridge at the end of Earsham St and following the track to the rear of the garden. All in all, the trail makes for an enjoyable stroll round Bungay town and reveals some garden gems you never knew were there! All the artworks on show are new. Fifteen Black Dog Artists spent some of their spring mornings and afternoons in “their” garden producing original work inspired by that garden - click here to see some photos. Jan Dungey from Black Dog Arts said “The range of work is staggering, from oil, watercolour, acrylic and mixed media paintings in all shapes and sizes by Carolyn Moulton, Paul Zawadski, Penny Brooke, John Hunt, Di McKenna, Max McKenna, Cherryl Thomas, Margaret Sheppard, Karen Leah and Hilary Mullock, to jewel-like, brightly coloured fused glass works by Carolyn Reeder, to innovative photographic works by Kerry Heaney, to raku fired stoneware by Elsie Lidzey and sculpture by Max Butcher, to an embroidered picture of the 1, The Tannery garden by Mary Walker.” And new for this year, each garden also contains craftworks inspired by gardens. These craftworks were made at a series of six different workshops led by acclaimed artists. Alison Kramarchuk’s knitted and crocheted gold, silver and other wire jewellery inspired one of the workshops. (See www.beautifulmetal.co.uk) Jan Dungey, Secretary
