Our gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday 9 to 5 throughout the year.
Within our workshop, we have a small established gallery. We exhibit the most amazing independent artists – bringing our customers exciting and diverse art for their homes.
Each artist works alongside us to develop their exhibition, selecting the themes, the format of the show and how it is presented. Working with Ali, our gallery manager to curate each exhibition, we create an in-depth solo event, focusing on the artist and each collection of original art.
We have a monthly exhibition calendar throughout the year, and we offer you the opportunity to visit and explore each exhibition in a friendly setting, so do visit and see what’s in the gallery.
Please join our newsletter to keep updated with all the exhibition news.
Fading Light by Jon Mackay
My silk screen prints are based on the edges of memory, the way that memories fragment and merge and fade as time moves on and I get older. The way my mind plays tricks and confuses things, merging memories poetry and lyrics. I‘m interested in the way a place or memory makes me feel, the joy of the moment that is fleeting, something I endeavour to convey in my use of mark making and colour within each of my silk screen prints.
Introduction to Silk Screen Printing Workshop
Artist workshop by Jon Mackay.
In this two and a half hour workshop you will learn how to design and make a paper cut stencil that you can then print on to a tea towel!
To start, you will be making some screen prints on paper using existing designs to cut as stencils initially to learn the basics.
Once you have that basic understanding, we will then move on to making a more detailed design and print in two colours that you'll print your own tea towel.
Its Still Me By Gill Edwards
It’s Still Me is an exhibition exploring the harmony of pattern, colour, and form through a
series of still life and little hut paintings. Each still life piece is informed by a love for ceramics,
where flattened silhouettes and carefully crafted negative space bring the subjects to life. Inspired
by the serene beauty and stark contrasts of travelling through Norway in winter, the small hut
paintings evoke a sense of quiet reflection and personal connection, merging everyday objects
with the emotional landscapes of memory and place.
Butterflies, Birds and Biscuits by Oenone Randall
Butterflies Birds & Biscuits.
Kaleidoscopes of embroidered butterflies, birds on branches and copper stamped biscuits to tempt you.
Paper Poetry by Sue Johnson
Paper Poetry invites you to explore my love of painted and printed papers, brought together often through collage to create a gentle interplay of marks, surfaces, and shapes. This exhibition offers a curious dialogue between elements to form intriguing relationships in each painting. Through these layered compositions, I invite you to see how disparate textures and forms find harmony in unexpected ways, each capturing a contemporary statement of visual poetry.
Aspects by Matthew Barratt -Jones
Aspects is an exhibition focusing on the links between myself and my subjects in portraiture. Through the pieces I aim to not only represent the people I paint, but also to represent something about who I am.
Music, tattoos and mental health are all strong influences on my life, and the subjects of the exhibition are all personal friends who I share some of these links in common with.
Nature and Common Lands by Catherine Hammerton
I am a graduate of the Royal College or Art (2005) and a Textile Maker, based in Wales, working predominantly in paper and cloth.
My creative practice is connected to nature and the common lands that I have grown up around. Using wild flora as visual metaphors for my matrilineally alongside the misdirection of what it is to be common, what it is to belong; be it to people or places. The notion of Hiraeth. What it is to be found or to be seen. To feel at home.
These ideas culminate as objects and texts; conversations of kinship, sisterhood and sameness. Making as a tool for remembering, honouring the lore of my childhood and celebrating what is to be found in the loss.
Mango Jam by Caroline Crawford
Mango Jam - Abstracts
These paintings investigate memory of place and travel, and how this compares to reality. There are references from journeys away from home and how I remember a place, as I view my surroundings in vastness or in small detail.
This is all then transferred into painting and my own visual language. With rhythmic patterns, balanced with composition, line, shape, colour, and texture. These creative relationships, dialogues, and compositions are held within a space, I explore from the front to the back of the painting to create a narrative. There is often a feeling of classic landscape painting with a back, mid and foreground to the work, creating a feeling of looking through. The painting style is Abstract.
The viewpoint varies, as sometimes we can be flying with an aerial view. In some of the works, there is a feeling of a smaller still life scale, as if objects were placed on a table.
Gather and Grow by Liz Meier
My current work is a response to the garden, both my own and other larger public gardens, often near to the sea.
I gather inspiration by making studies in the environment, of plants, trees, flowers, paths and shadows, then in the studio these are translated into paintings in oils or acrylics, slowly growing over time. My aim is to make a poetic response to the garden itself, affected by the seasons and the weather… seeking a feeling of what it was like to be there as much as the appearance of the places I love.
Devotions by Suzanne Winn
Devotions by Suzanne Winn
A collection of drawings and paintings offering a window into my lifelong love affair with nature. Named after the anthology “Devotions” by Mary Oliver, which draws together her masterful poems rejoicing in the power of living simply and connecting with nature. A celebration of the wild spaces and big skies that surround my home, and that more broadly symbolise our relationship with the natural world.

Painted Flowers by Liz Rentzsch
Exhibition Title: Floral I - A painted Celebration of 'The Garden'
Artist's Statement: I grow lots of things in my small garden and it's where I have the freedom to experiment with plants and colours for my work as a garden designer. I have a love for plants and the exhibition is a celebration of the garden in painted form.
Face to Face by Mick McNicholas
Face to Face, a selection of portraits painted predominantly from life.
In the age of smartphones and social media, portraiture is everywhere, from the ubiquitous selfie to the prolific duck-face profile picture. But a painted portrait is far more than a fleeting moment in time, more than just a likeness, it’s perhaps a form of communication and commemoration at the same time, a conversation not only between the artist and sitter, but between you the viewer and someone you may never even have met.
Relational Warmth
"Relational Warmth" at Emerald Gallery invites you on a journey into the profound connection between artists and the theme of warmth. As we step into the new year, this exhibition, curated by George Groves, seeks to create an immersive experience embodying welcome, comfort, and fresh beginnings.

Layered Landscapes
‘If you're looking for beauty, you'll find it in Nature. This exhibition explores the local landscape that I walk in daily and grew up in. Changing seasons, colours, light and emotions means that no two walks are ever alike. My paintings aim to capture the dramatic and energetic landscape, responding to the emotions invoked by the environment with bold colours, movements and abstract mark-making. Each painting evolves over time and develops its own unique history offering a sense of place whilst also hinting at multiple deeper meanings’
