Susanna Bauer

Exhibition now open in our Craft & Design Space
aspex are delighted to be hosting a solo exhibition by artist and sculptor Susanna Bauer. Some of the work is available to buy, with interest free loans on offer from Own Art for items over £100!

Susanna’s work explores the tension between fragility and strength, making both a contrast and a balance between form and texture, preconception and interpretation. She describes her works as ‘a series of individual stories that evolve and shape themselves in the process of making’. The work is on show until 30 April.

You know the drill -  it's our ever popular free open-mic night. No need to book, just turn up on the night with any kind of acoustic music, poetry or spoken word (or a combination of all three) and get involved!

If you just want to come along and watch, that's fine too - we've got plenty of seats and the Cafe Bar is open throughout, with beers priced at a very competitive £2.50 a bottle (wine is the same price for a 175ml glass!). See a selection of last month's pictures here.
