Greetings from a cold and snowy Felton!

We hope you’ve all had a happy time over the holidays and would like  to say thank you again for all of your support last year.  We’re looking forward to an even busier and more creative 2026!  Jane will be moving into her newly built home soon so exciting times ahead!
We’ve had a change to our studio artists with Amanda and Ali leaving Studio 8 to move on to their own larger premises!  We all wish them the best as they expand their already successful business.  Pam Stevenson will now have the studio on her own so may have some scheduling changes going forward.  Pop in to see her as she is working  and say hello!
If you are visiting the gallery, you’ll find our Affordable Art exhibition downstairs.  This is the perfect chance to refresh the art on your walls or to help someone else make a start on their own collection.
Now is the time to start booking our workshops-I’ll put the full programme below to see what we can tempt you with!  Renira Barnes starts our programme off on January 24th, so if getting the brushes out in 2026 was one of your resolutions, this would be a great place to start.
We are putting the final touches on our next Craft Cafe Menu so keep an eye out for full details coming soon.  We will be serving a mini afternoon tea and you choose 2 craft courses for  February 28th, 1pm-3:30 pm for £45.  So far, we have hand-stitched snowdrops(image above), rolled beeswax candles, machine embroidery ferns, copper earrings, watercolours with Sarah Farooqi, alcohol inks, watercolour daffodils and lino printing!  Bookings start today so get in touch to book!
Please let us know if you have any questions, would like to exhibit with us or would like to make a booking!
Hope to see you soon,

Mary and Jane
