67 Velvet Easel

Portobello has a large community of artists. There are dozens of painters, print makers, ceramicists and many other highly talented people. There are however only a few galleries and the Velvet Easel is one of the most successful

Former social worker Roz Walker took a leap of faith when she decided to set it up in Portobello High Street. Today, she runs a successful operation, part business, part hobby, in which local artists mingle with those from further afield, vying for space on the gallery walls.

This weekend, a new show opens - Spring they name is Colour - and we have been to have a look.
