Ever wondered how these intricate wire trees are made?✨

•

Simon recently sent us a behind the scenes video showing a glimpse of his process, from carefully shaping each branch by hand to building the character and form that make every tree unique. Inspired by a love of bonsai and the natural world, Simon’s sculptures take time, patience and an incredible eye for detail.

•

Mounted on locally sourced Lakeland green slate, each piece is individually crafted and no two trees are ever exactly alike. Watching them come together makes you appreciate just how much work goes into every sculpture.

•

You can watch the full video on our website, where Simon shares more of the techniques and craftsmanship behind his work. It’s a fascinating insight into his process🌳

We’ve just welcomed a beautiful collection of handcrafted wooden lamps by to the gallery, and they’ve already brought such a lovely warmth to the space.

•

Working from his workshop in North Wales, Paul creates distinctive lighting using sustainably sourced timber, combining traditional woodworking techniques with contemporary design. Each lamp begins as carefully selected wood, shaped and bent into elegant flowing forms that celebrate the natural character of the material.

•

From sculptural statement pieces to softly glowing table lamps, these works are as much pieces of art as they are functional lighting. We’re delighted to have Paul join our collection and can’t wait for you to see them in person.

•

Pop in and take a look. They really do transform a room. ✨🤎💡

Working in porcelain, Nicola hand builds each piece before applying layers of glaze to create depth, texture and movement. Inspired by changing light, shifting skies and the colours of the landscape, her ceramics capture a sense of atmosphere and connection to the natural world. Soft blues, muted tones and textured surfaces echo the scenery that inspires both her ceramic and painted work.

•

Displayed alongside Nicola’s paintings, these beautiful new pieces offer a wonderful insight into the themes that run throughout her practice.

A lovely new piece from Charlotte Gurran has arrived in the gallery!⛰️✨

•

This piece really glimmers in the light, with iridescent layers of soft greens, blues and warm golden tones moving across the canvas. Charlotte’s flowing lines and sweeping mark making create such a beautiful sense of movement through the landscape, echoing bird flight patterns across the fells.

•

There’s such an atmospheric feel to this one, especially with all the colours in the Lake District seeming to come alive lately in this gorgeous weather. The shifting light across the piece makes it feel different every time you look at it.

We’re always so excited to receive Katie’s beautiful Treescapes and much loved Herdwick keyrings. Her work reflects so many of the details that make the Lake District feel so special, creating lovely little reminders of the countryside for us to enjoy every day in our homes!⛰️🐑

Katie’s Treescapes are built up through carefully wrapped fibres and hand formed textures, with layered yarns and materials building detailed tree canopies full of depth and movement. Her work has a soft sculptural quality to it, rich in texture and delicate detail. The earthy greens and natural tones running throughout the pieces feel so reflective of the landscapes around Cumbria, with every one completely handmade by Katie herself.🧵
