Gallery News

Two really exciting bits of Gallery News .......................

Firstly Jill and Michel Rousseau who used to own Wessex Fine Art and Ceramics in Wareham until they went to run a gallery in France eight years ago are now back in the UK and today opened their new gallery in Castle Cary, Somerset.  Called the Grey Door Gallery in Woodcock Road they will be hosting some of the finest potters in the UK - and most flatteringly are going to stock my work on a regular basis.  Check out their website www.thegreydoorgallery.co.uk

Secondly, and more importantly for me, I've take over the Creative Gallery in Wareham.  Initially the gallery will remain much as it has been exhibiting the paintings of the Towler brothers - Graham and Cliff - Dorset land/sea scapes and birds, and the pottery of Rosemarie James and myself.  But over the next few months I will be extending the range of work on display - Caroline Walker, photographer has already joined us, Gill Smeulders (jeweller), Linda Rowe (glass) and others will be joining shortly after Easter, followed by a few other regulars.  Then I will set up a rolling exhibition programme featuring an artist/maker of the month.

Our first major event will be Purbeck Art Weeks which runs from 25th May-9th June.  During that time the Gallery will be open daily from 10am-5pm.  Wareham has a host of good eateries and interesting independent shops, as well as walks along the river or round the walls, and is surrounded by beautiful countryside - so why not come and visit us then.  The Creative Gallery, St John's Hill, Wareham BH20 4NB.
