Artshape Artshop Open in Beechwood Shopping Centre

Unit 15 in Beechwood shopping centre, Cheltenham is now the Artshape Artshop until at least Saturday 5th November, with the possibility that this time may be extended.

A wonderful variety of work is on sale in the shop, made by artists and students who work for Artshape or who attend classes run by the charity. 20% of sale price will be donated to Artshape, and it's well worth supporting them. Visit http://www.artshape.co.uk/ to find out more about classes and courses run by Artshape and to see some of the work on sale.

I have several of my stamp collage canvas prints and pictures on sale, as well as cards and a couple of very eye catching A1 framed Union Jack and US Stars and Stripes posters! You can also visit my website on http://www.rachelmarkwick.com/

People are so kind!

After seeing the article in the American Philatelist, a very kind reader from Massachusetts sent me a whole box of US stamps. Can't wait to start making some more collages, but will also keep some for my own collection!

This stamp says it all : Letters Lift Spirits.

Stamp Collages in US Stamp Magazine

The Amazing Stamp Collages of Rachel Markwick

This is the title of a 4 page article which has appeared in The American Philatelist magazine October 2011 issue. It can be viewed by clicking onto www.stamps.org/services/ser_ap.htm and looking in the October issue from P.938. It came as a result of a visit to my studio by David Ahl, an American visiting Stroud during the Open Studios Site 10 festival.
