Narrowboat 'the pod' on her maiden voyage
The pod is 28 foot narrowboat purpose built as a floating studio gallery . I am an artist, Kathryn Webley and 'the pod' is where I make canal inspired handmade glass and prints. The pod is permanently moored near Earlswood on the Stratford Canal and she has forays into Birmingham's Gas Street Basin and Brindley Place where visitors are welcome.
I left teaching in January 2008 to work full time as a freelance artist. I am continuing to work in schools as an artist in residence as well as developing my own art practice. My recent work is based on my exploration of the inland waterways from the canal or river bank.
Light, sight, movement, colour, landscape, I find this a rich source of inspiration, the constantly changing nature of water combined with the solidity of 'man made' structures. My work at present has quite diverse outcomes whilst I continue to develop the themes associated with my source material.
All my work is available from the Shop on the website. I also sell handmade glass and prints at boat shows and markets in the Midlands. The' Visiting the pod' section give a full listing of where I will be selling during the year.
