We also took the decision to keep on our two woodwork artists. Not least because Covid caution has greatly reduced the number of visitors to the Gallery and their work deserves to be more widely seen. Gavin Edward’s speciality is wall-mounted wooden panels and Mike Bentley is a wood turner. Between them they demonstrate the beauty of wood with great craftmanship and a twist of originality.
The Autumn Exhibitionwill run from Thursday 8 October to Sunday 15 November in the front Exhibition room, whilst our regular artists work will continue to be shown in the six other areas of the gallery. Hours are back to 12-6 on Thursdays 
& Fridays, 10-5 on Saturdays & Sundays, also by appointment and the ‘open’ sign is showing.
