WE REGRET THAT THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES
A celebration of the legacy of three generations of women artists from the illustrious Nicholson family - Mabel, her daughter Nancy, daughter-in-law EQ, and EQ’s daughter, Louisa Creed. Together they form a celebrated line of artists working from the late nineteenth century to the present day, across a multiplicity of spaces, contexts and mediums. Harriet Loffler explores what women inherit from their mothers, what can be passed down matrilineal lines and the importance of siblings to a creative practice. It brings together designs, painting, textiles and wallpaper, offering new insights into the tools and techniques the artists used. This event is a collaboration between The Burton at Bideford and Appledore Book Festival.
