A festive exhibition of beautiful handmade
porcelain lights by artist Amy Cooper.
2 2 N o v e m b e r – 1 7 J a n u a r y
Amy’s work addresses the fragility and transience of life and the natural
world through the transformative properties of light on porcelain.
She continues to explore a monochromatic spectrum that is created
through the use of textures, variation in thickness and diffusion.
The work is slip cast porcelain, each piece individually altered, either
through manipulation when plastic or painstakingly masked and
sandblasted at bisque.

Contemporary Textiles Focus
8 N o v e m b e r – 3 J a n u a r y
Presenting a range of knitted, woven, printed, felted and stitched
textiles for you and your home, this exhibition aims to showcase the
variety of techniques within the field of textiles.
The makers chosen for this exhibition are
concerned primarily with process, exploring
what can be achieved with traditional
techniques within a contemporary market.
These often repetitive techniques can be
time consuming, which many makers see
as a welcome diversion from the demands
of modern life.

All six makers perfectly
balance the visual elements
of pattern and colour with
the physical and tactile
nature of textiles.

Art-to-You home and business consultancy serviceIt is hard to visualise how an artwork will look at
home or in your office, when viewing it in the
gallery or online. This is particularly hard to do
when you have a specific space in mind, or if you
want to view a piece of art with someone who is not able to visit the gallery.
We are delighted to introduce our free Home/Business Consultancy Scheme. If
you see something you love in the gallery, we would be delighted to come to
you with your chosen art work along with some carefully selected alternatives
to help you decide which piece would work best in your environment.
Our team is happy to guide you in the process of finding a perfect art for your
home or business.
