It has been a winter of change for wildlife sculptor, Eddie
Hallam, which has resulted in a new workshop and
permanent gallery. He has also been adding to the range
of sculptures which will be on display at his annual Spring
Exhibition to be held at Greenways Farm, Riber in Matlock
Derbyshire in May.
In response to several requests, Eddie will be giving
some informal talks and demonstrations throughout the
exhibition.
Exhibition of Paintings Inspired by the Landscape by Sandy Hillyer at the
Rainbow Gallery, Eastwood. This solo exhibition of both contemporary and
traditional paintings in acrylics and watercolours has the theme ‘Summer’
using vibrant colour and texture. Sandy’s inspiration comes from big skies and
open spaces, be it wild moorland or remote beaches. Beeley Moor is one of
her favourite subjects to paint.

SPECIAL DAY
WORKSHOP
Saturday 11th July
Eddie is the archetypal country craftsman, living and working
from a small workshop in the heart of the countryside.
He has worked with wildlife all his life and is a passionate
conservationist. He discovered his artistic talent during
his university studies as a biologist and, to this day, his field
sketch books remain a vital resource for his sculptural work.
Animal lovers are always keen
to capture the image of their
beloved pet for ever, and what
better way than through original
water colour art. Norma Gent
working from photographs is
taking commissions, to contact
