Artist Claire Frampton will be exhibiting her artworks inspired by textiles & painted pottery at Abingdon Museum during the Oxfordshire Artweeks from 2nd to 31st May.

Claire Frampton takes inspiration from Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi, museum pieces at the Ashmolean in Oxford, including a reconstructed storage jar which was in the Rome Gallery, to produce her artworks. Using batik, appliqué and contemporary techniques including sublimation printing and foiling, she combines processes and media to form textures and contrasts that work together in this celebration of materials.

There will be a FREE WORKSHOP based on this exhibition on Saturday 23 May.
