Besides the nice cafe with bosquey outdoor seating, the venue offered two exhibitions -
Geta Bratescu and
Paul Johnson (till 18 June).
Some internet images of works in Bratescu's show -

| "Drawing with closed eyes" (via) |
 |
| The "black and white piece" ... collaged textile (via) |
 |
| One of the Medusa series (via) |
 |
| "The Traveller" (via) |
 |
| Book on grey pages, the same photo against foil of different shapes (via) |
 |
| Using textile scraps that came from her mother (via) |
This small work by Bratescu was compelling - she manipulated this photo of herself in other works too -
 |
| The Smile (via, which has more works also seen in the show) |
Later I realised it reminded me of paper dolls cut in a strip; at the time I was busy drawing several versions -
 |
| Quickly round the gallery |
 |
| Spending more time with the acrobats, and the eyes-closed-drawings |
Sue's "acrobats" show their true proportions - (a variant of the acrobats is
here) -
Joyce was captured by "No to Violence" -
Judith drew a small section of the Paul Johnson exhibition -
Jo settled down on a bench and drew what was around it, including door handles and this exit sign, which - out of context and textured - suddenly becomes a story about to happen -
Extracurricular activities
Sue worked from a photo of cabbages taken at her allotment to produce "something a little more abstract" -
and Joyce captured these textures from an ancient willow near Dedham (in Constable Country), with a view to using them for embroidery -
