Ottery St Mary-based artist, Abi Whitlock, is celebrating the successful sale of her first artwork through online art marketplace, Artfinder, just days after she joined the site.

In 1962 artist Alison Knowles first performed Make a Salad.
A simple action inspired by Alison, we’ll be using her recipe to make a big salad. We'll make enough to feed everybody and use a tarpaulin as a mixing bowl. If you are not a fan of salad there will also be sandwich-making and waffles and ice cream!
