Harvest
Three artists celebrate the richness of the land, its changing colours, texture and nature, and we invite you to come along to see their work in our latest exhibition from Saturday 25 September.
Clifford William Blakey
 Clifford
William Blakey is in awe of the power of the earth, sea and
sky. His influences are the great landscape painters such as
Turner, Constable and Samuel Palmer. Some of his paintings are
detailed records of a place or an event, some give only an indication.
He is passionate about painting and his joy clearly comes across
in his work.
Gill Shreeve
 Gill
Shreeve has always been fascinated by powerful geological
and elemental processes that shape landscape forms and this
has always been a huge underlying theme in her work.
Stephanie Tristam
 Stephanie
Tristam has a dramatic, intuitive, luscious sense of colour
and enjoys exploring a range of media and processes in her
paintings. Her work in this exhibition is influenced by her
fascination with textiles and travel.
Other Works - New Arrivals
We have a constantly changing selection of glass, ceramics and jewellery and textiles, and new works for this exhibition include...
Sculpture
Our local West Linton artist Sue White-Oakes has developed her own techniques similar to silversmithing over a number of years to create sculptures in copper of delicate insects, birds, frogs and other aquatic creatures. Many of her fantastic copper sculptures have been cast as limited editions in bronze. Sue's work is eagerley sought after by collectors and we are thrilled to be exhibiting for the first time one of her original copper sculptures as well as one of her bronzes.
Two jewellers are exhibiting with us for the first time:
Avril Jacques combines her painterly and design skills in her jewellery making. Her inspirations come from both the natural world and the manmade one and from her preferred medium, silver, with its possibilities and challenges.
Rhona Petrie works mainly in sterling silver and her jewellery is influenced by research into the Paisley pattern as is evidenced in her latest collection.
Dave Binns has brought us another of his unique hand-crafted tables. Dave enjoys seeking out unusual and interesting pieces of wood, which he crafts into one-off pieces. This table is made from 120 year old trifurcated elm, and once again Dave has created a truly individual piece.
We have a new collection of work from Leo Norris, including two clocks and two small burr-elm bowls. Leo also works with local hardwood and enjoys using the wood to inform his designs.
And Finally...
We have new collections of jewellery from Angie Young and Angela Learoyd, Alison Ogden is exhibiting more of her pretty and delicate "skinny" vases, and Emma Butler-Cole Aiken has sent us a new flock of her characterful glass birds.

We look forward to welcoming you to the private view of our Harvest Exhibition on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 September from 12 - 3pm.
