Summer Markets
​

Almanac: 5th July 10 am -4pm

As usual, I'll be at the Almanac Cafe Makers Market on Saturday 5th July, 10 am -4pm at 32 Batter Street, Plymouth PL4 0EN. This is a small market, but has a dedicated band of visitors and the cafe is lovely place to spend a day, so I always look forward to it.
​

The Little Oddities Craft Market : 12th July 11am -4.30pm
​
Barbican Theatre, Castle Street, Plymouth, PL1 2NJ
​

My first time at this venue, but the organisers are great and will be including lots of fund raising for Plymouth Pride as part of the event.

Native Makers, Devonport: 25th July 10 am -4pm
​
Duke St, Devonport, Plymouth PL1 4PS

Another first for me, this well regarded market is blessed with good footfall and willing buyers, so fingers crossed!
​

Exhibition:
Artemis Collective Summer Salon: 15th - 31st August:
​
Manor Street Galleries, 14-17 Manor St, Stonehouse, Plymouth PL1 1TL
​

Hosted by Plymouth's Artemis Collective, a diverse exhibition, showcasing a wide range of work by Plymouth artists.

Latest Art

Some recent paintings inspired by a visit to wonderful West Cornwall. The far west of Cornwall has a character and an atmosphere all of its own. As usual, I was drawn to the less obviously tourist bits, like Penzance's semi industrial harbour and the often overlooked little town of St. Just, the most westerly town on the British mainland.

Chris Stone Artist

I am a Plymouth based artist. I love to create original paintings of the places and landscapes i love, mostly in Devon and Cornwall, but also beyond. I'm particularly interested in the faded beauty of everyday things that surround us and that many of us take for granted.

Paint was literally drying on the brush and markets in hot spaces were a bit of an ordeal. Having said that, I had a great time selling to and meeting customers at markets, fairs and exhibitions and I've had fun producing a few paintings. As we look to autumn, I'm looking forward to upgrading my website, hopefully before the main run...
