EBB & FLOW runs from Friday 6 to Saturday 21 September and is open Tuesdays to Saturdays from 11.00am to 4.00pm. It combines work by professional artists with that of many community groups, and features a range of media including printmaking, photography, film, and mixed-media installations. All those taking part have drawn inspiration from our beautiful rivers and waterways and share a passionate desire to protect them from environmental damage. Ebb & Flow is supported by The Barnwood Trust.

Carolyn Black
Rachel Bomford
Melanie Clarke
Nichola Goff
