Past Exhibitions
Mum’s Garden – Susan Keates
December 2024
In 2020 I went to live with my Mother back in the UK as she was declining with dementia. Whilst being there I set up a workshop in a shed at the bottom of her garden in which to work on my jewellery. Every day, with camera at hand, I was inspired to capture the beauty which she had created, as I walked through it to the workshop.
The space she made was peaceful and dreamy, and I found that a lot of my photographs reflected this feeling. I also bought enamel powders which matched as closely as possible to the colours around me and started to work on vitreous enamel jewellery designs.
When she passed in December 2023 it occurred to me that one way to honour her life and creativity would be to exhibit this work, which I see as a collaboration between the two of us.

Threads – Lewis Batchelar + Madeline Prowd
November 2024
As makers Batchelar and Prowd’s focus is the vessel. Each aim to create aesthetically and technically driven works that pay respects to the traditions and craftsmanship of glass as a material. Both are heavily influenced by traditional Italian glassblowing techniques and the technical proficiency inherent in the process of making. Form, proportion and repetition are essential elements in all the work they create, each strive to incorporate an element of the handmade.

It’s about future and past landmarks. Where I thought I’d be at this age and where I really am. Taking stock. The abscission of previous landmarks and reorientation towards others.
That Glimmer of Red – Sandy de Kock
October 2024
It is in a sometimes-dreamlike strangeness that images connected to memory reveal their power and presence.
Colour creates an expanse, gives memory weight, makes it solid.
Sometimes it slides towards abstraction in form but never in mood, which always remains.
