11th Nov 2016 - 20th Nov 2016
University Gallery, Theatre Foyer, Grand Parade
Exhibition
An exhibition of original artwork by Illustration BA(Hons) alumna, Jane Hissey.
Richly illustrated in coloured pencils, Illustrator Jane's books feature soft-toy characters and everyday objects that belong to her or her family. 'Old Bear' himself was given to her by her grandmother when she was born. He has travelled with Jane throughout the world; to schools, libraries and literary events, becoming increasingly worn and threadbare but recognisable to millions of Jane's readers. Publishers vied to secure the international rights to her first book and Jane went on to sell seven million copies worldwide, topping the public lending rights list for more than a decade.
The 40 episode television series of 'Old Bear Stories' won many international awards including a BAFTA and a NY Film Festival Gold Award.
Opening hours: Saturday 10am-4pm. Monday to Friday 10am-5pm. Sundays: 11am-4pm.
Free admission
Private view, Friday 11 November, 6-8pm in Café Bar.
