Gallery Shop
Our Gallery Shop is a place where craftsmanship, creativity, and curation come together. Every piece is thoughtfully selected by Lady Anne Evans, who works closely with artists and makers to ensure the collection reflects both exceptional quality and originality. The Gallery Shop showcases an ever-evolving selection in close collaboration with the Gloucestershire Guild of Craftsmen. From ceramics and textiles to wood, glass, and jewellery, each item is masterfully handcrafted, offering visitors the chance to discover something truly distinctive. It is a space to connect with the stories, traditions, and talents of local artisans, and to take home a piece of craftsmanship to be treasured for years to come.
Featured Makers
Loco Glass
Loco Glass is the husband and wife team of Louise and Colin Hawkins. Louise graduated in Design at Goldsmiths College London before studying at the International Glass Centre, while Colin trained in Glass at Sunderland University and the Royal College of Art in London. They gained much of their understanding of the medium of glass working alongside some of the British Glassmaking industry’s traditional and contemporary artisans. Now based at New Brewery Arts in Cirencester Colin and Louise use a combination of traditional glassblowing techniques and contemporary craft skills to create their work
Toff Milway
Toff has been a maker of functional pottery since 1968 and has come to realise that he is inspired primarily by the food that goes into the pots as much as the making itself. He uses a diversity of techniques that include dipping, pouring and trailing pure clay slips with scraffito and roulette decoration on to a very fine ball clay based body. He believes in using very simple materials and allowing the natural process of saltglaze to enhance the work. He lives and works in the beautiful Cotswold stone village of Conderton surrounded by an old orchard that is typical of this area.
Becky Paton
Becky Paton studied Public art and design at Chelsea school of Art and specialised in mosaic. Over the years Becky has undertaken many Public and community art projects, exhibitions and commissions and is about to write her second book. She is hugely inspired by nature with the insect and bird world currently taking top spot. Her other passion is portraiture with her life’s work being a collection of ‘Warrior women’ from Queen Elizabeth the first to Jane Morris. To date, there are 10 portraits in the collection, the 11th to be decided.
