CERAMICS AND SCULPTURAL WORKS
Fired Earth
31st October – 10th November 2026
Fired Earth: brings together sculptural and ornamental works that challenge the boundaries between craft and fine art, offering a renewed way of seeing clay as both material and a medium of thought.
Through the transformation of earth by fire, these works explore the expressive possibilities of stoneware and earthenware. Traditionally associated with function and decoration, ceramics are reimagined here as vessels of contemplation. Texture, glaze, and form become critical gestures, inviting reflection on permanence, fragility, and the value of the handmade.
AN OUT OF TOWN EXHIBITION
'SMUDGE'
by Members of the Pastel Society
14th November – 23rd December 2026
This winter, we present ‘Smudge,’ our end-of-year exhibition celebrating the expressive possibilities of dry media. Featuring work exclusively by members of the Pastel Society (PS), this ‘out of town’ exhibition brings together a diverse collection of original works created using pastel, charcoal, and graphite. This exhibition will explore the remarkable range and depth that can be achieved with natures natural pigments. Delicate tonal studies and bold compositions, this exhibition reveals the versatility of dry media and the many ways artists manipulate line, texture, and form.
