On the lookout

Today was a day for seeking out new inspiration for the gallery. Even though the gallery only displays my paintings and prints we do have a good range of work from other artists in the form of jewellery, pottery, sculpture and the like. Every so often we get the chance to see current artists and meet new ones at trade shows throughout the country. At the minute one of the best shows is on in North Yorkshire so we spend most of the day checking out about 500 quality British Craftspeople and their work to see if the gallery would be a suitable outlet for their stock. We find it really exciting to see whats "hot" so we came away with plenty of ideas to keep the gallery full of interesting gifts and art.

Also a good time to see what our current suppliers are producing, like Stephanie Bowen whos glasswork is always popular the The Teesdale Gallery. Watch this space for the new items as they arrive.
