Titled 'Look at Me', the exhibition celebrated the creativity, individuality and talent of the artists who work in our studios. The title itself came from one of our artists, who joyfully arrives each day announcing, “Look at me!”  an invitation to see their art, their process, and the person behind the work.

The exhibition featured work by over 40 artists and makers, with a vibrant selection of printmaking, painting, textiles and relief carvings on display. The pieces offered visitors a glimpse into the diverse styles, ideas and techniques developed in our workshops.

Running from 27 June to 6 July and with a lively and well-attended opening night on 26 June, it was wonderful to welcome such a large and enthusiastic audience of supporters, collectors, families, friends and members of the local community.

A range of artworks, prints, woodwork pieces and handmade cards were available to purchase, and we were thrilled by the number of sales and the positive feedback from visitors. The response was so encouraging that the gallery invited us to extend the exhibition for an additional weekend so that even more people could visit and experience the work.

The success of ‘Look at Me’ was a proud moment for the artists and the whole Workshop 305 community. It was a great opportunity to share their creativity with a wider audience and celebrate the incredible talent that fills our studios every day.
