Both Sides - A Talk and Book Signing with Blandine Anderson

An illustrated talk and book signing with Blandine Anderson

Saturday 16 August 2025, 2.00pm - 3.30pm

FREE - Booking required

Venue: MAKE Southwest

Suitable for: Adults

Join MAKE Southwest maker member Blandine Anderson for an illustrated talk about her new book - Both Sides: The Highs and Lows of a Year on a Wildlife Smallholding. 

Both Sides is a revealing and personal account of the successes and misfortunes of wildlife and farm-life throughout the shepherding year.

The collection of dual aspect ceramic works which illustrates the book, attempts to show both sides of each theme, be that life and death, Winter and Summer, or famine and plenty. 

Blandine will discuss her experiences of writing the book with accompanying illustrations. 

Copies of Both Sides will be available to buy on the day and Blandine will be happy to sign copies after her talk. 

About Blandine Anderson

Blandine has established a reputation as an artist intent on pushing creative boundaries and has gained an enthusiastic following for her hugely collectable one-off sculptural works.

“Although my work is dominated by the theme of animals in landscape – the driving forces behind it are composition and proportion. Since I come from a Fine Art background, I lean towards a sculptural approach. My work is an ongoing search for the perfect combination where animal enhances form to the extent where both are balanced and evident in their own right”.

 

On the Day

This event will take place in our workshop space upstairs above our shop and galleries. 

Seating will be unallocated and available on a first come first served basis. 

The talk is expected to last for roughly 45 mins with an additional 15 - 20 mins for questions afterwards.
