Excited to say we have a new resident artist at our sister studios Studio 180.

Gwil Hughes is a young Welsh artist based in London.

With a practice focusing mainly on painting, Gwil is interested in exploring the interplay of medium and surface within both figurative and abstract works to evoke and provoke experience.

Self taught since GCSE’s, painting has been for Gwil a means to understand himself and the world around him. Since completing a Modern Languages Degree from the University of Oxford (2014), Gwil has worked to develop a way of seeing and documenting.

Check out his new website, with a few examples of the range of work that Gwil is currently engaged with.

Christmas Open Studios 2015

We opened our doors again in December for Christmas open studios, decorating the studios and our artists and designers working hard to make gift giving a pleasure for all. It was the perfect chance to buy inspirational gifts, meet our artists and designers and enjoy admiring their creativity!

The mulled wine was flowing and our ever popular pop-up cafe was serving mince pies up a treat. We were also lucky enough to have a very festive, flute solo performance by Nicholas Sabinsky. It was a true celebration of our inspirational creative community.
