21 June – 17 August 2024

Our Summer 2024 selling exhibition is inspired by a place by the sea. The work of our featured makers captures the spirit of days spent at the coast – whether in glorious sunshine or tempestuous storms – and the treasures we might find and bring home, from interesting shells, pebbles and sea glass to the memory of the colour of the sea at sunset.

Makers include:

Jewellery by Roslyn Ashcroft, Julie Fewster, Bronwen Gwillim, Gilly Langton & Ruth Praill

Ceramics by Molly Attrill, Helen Beard, Kirsti Hannah Brown, Rachel Peters, Vivienne Ross, Simon Shaw & Anna Silverton

Textiles by Eve Campbell, Jessica Geach, Michelle Holmes & RubyKite

Glass by Jane Charles, Loco Glass & Shakspeare Glass

Leather by Janine Partington

Wood by Jane Crisp

Clothing by Georgia Boniface
