Sally Ward graduated from Norwich School of Art in 1974 and some of the works from her Degree Show were used in a television production of Roald Dahl’s story Neck. Following the advice of one of her tutors, Katherine Gili, Sally completed an Advanced Sculpture Course at St Martins in London.  After leaving St Martins Sally shared a studio with Katherine and worked part time as her assistant, helping her forge a sculpture for the exhibition “Have you seen Sculpture from the Body?” at Tate Britain in 1984.

For many years Sally worked as an Artist/educator and ran workshops in a wide variety of institutions including Tate Britain, The British Museum and the Museum of London. She led groups around art galleries in London where she was inspired by the expressive colour of Matisse, Kandinsky and the German Expressionists. Sally worked as an assistant in the family Leaning department in the London Tate Galleries where she had a design accepted for an Under 5s Play Area sourced from the Cubist works in the galleries. 

Sally has experimented with a broad spectrum of materials  including steel, wood and mixed media. For the last few years she has been developing her practice in the study of form using recycled paper mixed with a variety of materials to generate a type of paper/stone. She then build forms from this material and gradually constructs by combining the forms until they create a finished piece.  Colour has become an essential and integrated part of her sculptures.

Sally’s practice also includes drawing, painting and collage.

Max Birne

By Phillip Worth (FPS President) The Open Studios movement has been a welcome development in the art world in recent years. Typically based on specific areas, be they counties, cities, districts or whatever, it involves artists inviting members of the public to visit their studios, to meet and talk with them, and to view their output. And it is always an added attraction if they can see artists at work. The area of West Sussex centred on Chichester has a particularly lively tradition, and is rich in creative talent, as the writer discovered on a recent visit. The occasion for this was to renew acquaintance with Max Birne, a former FPS personality, who has recently moved house from Wembley, where he had lived for many years, to Selsey, near Eric Coates’s ‘Sleepy Lagoon’. After the move Max lost no time in building himself a conservatory/studio at the rear of his bungalow and it was here that he entertained visitors during ‘Open Doors 2008’, a mandatory stop on the Chichester ‘Stud

  Sam Hodge Every Contact Leaves A Trace 1 - 11 June 2023 Private View: Saturday 3 June, 5-8pm 195 Mare Street | London E8 3QE   RSVP Hackney-based painter and printmaker Sam Hodge exhibits recent work in one of the neighbourhood's oldest houses. With a history spanning more than three centuries, a multitude of inhabitants have left their mark on the fabric of the building; made intentionally or incidentally, some obvious and exposed, many concealed. Taking its title from a founding principle of forensic science,  Every Contact Leaves a Trace  documents the artist's encounters with her environment. Parallels to geological or biological investigations are evident in Hodge's approach to the marks left by natural and manufactured events. The connection between human and material realms runs like an undercurrent through her practice. Whether making pigments and inks with earths, plants and human debris, printing from discarded materials or giving new meaning to found objects th
