The rings are made to your specific requirement ie. size, finish and type and size of stone.   We can select stones for you to come and view at the gallery.  All the stones are conflict free. Louise encourages people to come to the gallery to discuss design ideas for specially crafted pieces, which can then be made for you by Louise at the workshop individually. Louise is able to advise on ring sizing, re-sizing, adaptation of existing jewellery pieces and repairs. Please call in for a free consultation and quotation service.

Holly Belsher Brooch

The beauty of the British countryside, Its natural stone, the textures of landscape, its’ flora and fauna.The hedgerows in Devon have proved an inspiration for Holly’s latest work, some of them are hundreds of years old. They are cut every year after the birds have finished fledging their babies and they grow in wonderful tangles on top of deep banked stone walls covered with grass and wild plants.

‘Fur and Feather’ Exhibition

Published on April 9, 2011 in What's On. Closed

Opening on 18th March to 26th May

 

Kitty Jones- Featured Artist

Kittie works as a tutor at Leith School of Art whilst continuing to produce her own work for national exhibitions.

In the last year she has started drawing birds and animals directly from life. The immediacy of this method of working means you have to work quickly and be prepared to make a lot of sketches to get the information you need. The first few drawings of any particular bird are always clumsy and then you start getting a feel for its particular shape and movement. Back in the studio she will work up her drawings into prints, drawings and paintings. Kittie likes to make work that contains a narrative; this is helped by bringing out a sense of character and purpose in the animals and birds that she draws. From snatched glimpses and rapid sketches, she takes what information she has and develop these into compositions made up of layers of colour for her screen prints.

Leading us into Spring with our new exhibition ‘Fur and Feather’. On show will be some  wonderful works of art, including work by Claire Milner, Janine Roper, Chris Moss, Claire West, Ian Scott Massie, Helen Thompson,  Kitty Jones, Lesley Birch, Kevin Maddison, Emma Palmer, Steve  Gosling and many more…..

We are holding an Opening Preview for the Show on Sunday 18th March from 12:00pm- 4:00pm. We really hope you can come along and enjoy first viewing of the beautiful works of Art that will be on display in the Saltbox!
