Fancy making-and-a-doing and a FREE craft book?


When I first started this blog, it was mainly as a means for people to keep up to date with the refurbishment of 12 Tuly Street and the launch of Atelier. Well we're three months on and we've had a spectacular reception since our grand opening mid-July.

I couldn't be more happy with how things are going. I even have customers who send friends and family into the gallery saying 'I don't mind what you buy me for my birthday, so long as it's from Atelier.'

We're still evolving and there are lots of new exciting things in the pipeline so I have decided to re-launch this blog as a quick and easy resource for you to keep up to date with the latest news.

We have fantastic exhibitions on their way, exciting plans for artist-led workshops and on-going promotions giving you the chance to win cool stuff from the gallery.

And so to my first call-to-crafty-arms ...

Makers - Your Gallery Needs You

As you know I have a growing collection of inspirational craft books.

I'm planning a 'book of the month' promotion to highlight some of my favourite project-based books.

And I need your help!

I'm looking for volunteers to take away one of my books and make up a project for display here in the gallery. The great thing is that you get to practice your making skills, you exhibit your project in the gallery AND, best of all, you get to keep the book you are working from. Yay!

This opportunity is open to Devon-based crafters only

Email me at crafts@gallery-atelier.co.uk, if you are interested or pop in and see me at the gallery.
