Here are some of the wonderful canvases that sold yesterday at the ‘Cambridge Seen’ fundraising exhibition hosted by @rowancambridge. The atmosphere was brilliant and it was great to meet so many people including some of the tutors at the arts centre, the volunteers, and other artists who took part in the project. The exhibition continues until 4PM today - full details at link in our profile. #cambscreativescene #rowancambridge #cambscreativetreasures
Hello to all of our followers and members – we are back with our first post of 2019 to share with you details of an exciting exhibition taking place in Cambridge this weekend! Back in September we told you about a call for artists to get involved in the fundraising exhibition which is being hosted by @rowancambridge – a fantastic arts charity and centre based in Cambridge, UK. The charity managed to sell over 150 canvases to both professional and amateur artists who have been working over the last few months to bring to you artwork based on the theme ‘Cambridge Seen’. . The response was fantastic and we are really pleased to invite you to come and view the canvases inspired by our beautiful city. They will be on show at Long Road Sixth Form College (Long Road, Cambridge CB2 8PX) today and tomorrow, Saturday 9th – Sunday 10th February 2019, from 11AM until 4PM. Think buildings, landscapes, a particular place or something well-known in Cambridge such as bicycles or the River Cam – we can’t wait to see what the artists have created! . All artworks will be on sale at the event and all funds raised will go back into supporting the amazing work the charity do for the local community. They will be exhibited anonymously and will be available for sale at £45 each. This is a great opportunity to support an incredible local arts charity by purchasing affordable art! We would love to see what you buy so be sure to come and share your purchases with us over on Instagram using our community #CambsCreativeTreasures tag. . I am very excited to tell you that I am one of the artists taking part in this project – and it will be my first ever exhibition! My piece “Blooming Bike I” was so much fun to create – from heading into the City to take photos of bikes with baskets to learning embroidery and discovering the effects of different stitches.
Are you a sprout lover or hater? My favourite find this year were these awesome gold sprout decorations by @purplespoondesign - can’t wait to gift these tomorrow... and of course tuck into the real thing! Signing off now, see you on the other side... 🤶🏻🎅🏻🎄#merrychristmas #santaclausiscomingtotown #sprouts
We recently hit 5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ shares on the community #CambsCreativeTreasures feed! It’s been absolutely wonderful seeing so many talented local creatives joining in and sharing their work - and local creative discoveries - with us over on Instagram.

We also would like to wish you, our followers and all our amazing members a very Merry Christmas... 🎄Here’s a selection of lovely festive posts that have been shared with the hashtag: . 1. @brambleseven_designs 2. @cambridgeartmakers 3. @pinkcoatclub (@stitch_make_bake) 4. @debbieonthebrink 5. @stephanie_cambs 6. @vanilla.wind 7. @nokodesignsjewellery 8. @gattogateau 9. @ruth.fairhead . #TheTroveCambridge @cambscreativetreasures #Cambridgeshire #Cambs #SupportLocal #Community
Wanted to share these lovely treasures with you! Vinyl tree stickers / envelope seals by @purplespoondesign, card by @joclarkdesign, gift tags by @daphnerosaflowers - and mini clay decorations handmade by me a couple of years ago. We’ve got a couple of gifts left to pick up today - and a few hours at work each - then we can switch into holiday mode... 🎄#christmaseve #CambsCreativeTreasures #supportlocal
Last Christmas I received a voucher for a 2 hour ‘Taster with Clay’ experience at @clayonthecorner - here’s a peek at my pots! I really enjoyed my first try at the pottery wheel and hope to have another go in 2019. Did you try out a new creative skill this year? I’d love to know in the comments below. This year I set up a #gofundme page and asked for family to donate rather than give presents. I’ll be using the money to try out more local creative workshops throughout the year that have been on my wish list for a while now. There’ll be a full blog post coming in the New Year about my experience at @clayonthecorner and wonderful tuition by Randella Handley! 🤲🏻 #getcreative #CambsCreativeScene #stivescambs #pottery #clay
