We can also start a wedding gift voucher list. Complimentary cards can be included in your invitations to inform your guest on how they can help to purchase your ideal present.
LUXE
LUMIERE
A curated exhibition of elegant, luxurious and skilfully made objects.
Irresistible hand crafted lighting and illuminated artworks make a wonderful festive statement this season. We explore all facets of lighting where sculpture, colour and form meet.
Nine artists and makers present a selection of exquisitely made artworks, produced in beautiful materials, using intricate, expertly applied techniques, from jewellery to engraved glass, ceramics and wood.
Our intimate Balcony gallery will be full to the rafters with beautiful pieces which can easily fit into home environments. We are careful to note the power of light as a medium in its own right, where light and shade create shadows and the colour and textures of shadow shifting with each piece create physically powerful works that take on the appearance of sculptural forms in space. Visitors are encouraged to move freely around the space to take the lighting pieces in from all angles. Presenting pieces by Clio Anastasiou, Nichola Bendall - Words Ink, Liv Cornall, Dobby & Rose, Adele Goulty, Denis di Luca, Luna Lighting, Hannah Nunn (below), Liz Scrine, Surrey Woodsmiths and Meryl Till.
Work by: Robin Duttson, Tim Evershed, Paul Finch (above right), Matt Horne, Alex McCarthy (below), Hugh Miller, Syann Van Niftrik, Ilona Sulikova and Nancy Sutcliffe (above left).
