Severn Sisters – A True Community! — Anna Fine Jewellery

I have composed a few of blogs above the very last handful of months that I did not in fact publish. I’m not confident why, but I’m likely to just go with the idea that if I considered they were being any good, I’d have concluded producing and revealed them!

Nowadays nevertheless, I do truly have one thing value producing about. It’s a tale of real neighborhood and collaboration, of ridiculous concepts, tricky operate and a lot of love…

About this time las yr (wow! It was that extensive in the past, I just appeared it up!!) I was asked to be component of a group exhibition of artists that were either motivated by or labored along with the river Severn. I nearly mentioned no, as I generally witnessed to be entirely snowed below with commissions and in no way get any time to make everything other than that.

I did not say no though…I made the decision to commit to accomplishing one thing, that had turn into just a little outside the house my convenience zone. I joined the Severn Sisters and we set on our first exhibition at 7Q Gallery in Chepstow.

The exhibition appeared great and quite great sales ended up built, but I want to convey to you about our “second” event….Open House……

It was all the courageous thought of Annie Brennan, who we have now all named our “mother superior”. An concept based mostly about identical exhibitions that she’d visited/listened to of in town centres – all of the “sisters” putting on an exhibition about a weekend, in her home. So, right after some meetings, some treats and a couple beverages, with no promotion spending budget and no concept if any person would occur, we made the decision to go for it!

Well… I consider the only words to describe this earlier weekend are resounding accomplishment!! There had been 13 of us concerned all with each other, and just by some social media sharing and a bit of leaflet printing on our residence printers, persons did locate out at about it – loads of individuals in point! It just goes to present that if you put your intellect to it, and give your extremely ideal effort and hard work, anything is possible!

For me however, the actual results has been discovering this awesome team of girls (and one particular token male of training course) that have just been so supportive to every single other all over the organisation and the real celebration. About the past couple of months, but especially through the Open up Home itself, we chatted about so numerous items and shared so many laughs. Theres certainly been hugs, but to be genuine, it feels like the Severn Sisters are just just one big constant hug. The way that the group just gelled was obviously seen by our readers as one of them believed that we all lived and labored alongside one another in Annie’s house!

We’re all unique ages, from diverse areas and backgrounds and have diverse sights, likes and dislikes, and that’s absolutely okay. I feel so privileged to have been questioned to be portion of this incredible minor neighborhood and I cannot wait to start off imagining about what we do next!
