Super-hero snooker!

     L-R: studio owner Anthony von Roretz, Steve Davis OBE, artist Tom Walker, deputy mayor Mike Osment, your host Fiona McWilliam

Well, what can I say? Tom's exhibition is now open and the preview last Friday went brilliantly. We had a great turn-out, sold a number of prints and originals and a wonderful time was had by all. Helped in no small part, it has to be said, by our very special guest, six times World Snooker champion Steve Davis OBE. 

The studio looks great, Tom's work is out of this world and to cap it all we have a mini-table to wile away the hours on. I made a break of 16 - my highest yet!

We would love to welcome as many people as possible to the exhibition, so if you're passing, or know anyone who might be interested, pass on the good word. See you soon.

Tom Walker at work in Sheffield, as part of his Snooker In The Frame exhibition.

We are getting very excited now about Tom's exhibition. We had a jaunt up north to see the whole collection, on display for the first and only time, alongside the World Snooker Championships. The scope and depth of Tom's work is quite astounding, and it's a shame we're only able to exhibit a fraction of it. We strongly urge you to come along and check it out. We had a marvellous time, and even got to watch one session of the quarter-finals (Ryan Day v Mark Allen, if you're interested). So, make sure you get over to Salisbury at some point to gaze in awe at Tom's paintings. We promise you won't be disappointed.
