‘As beautiful as the chance encounter of a sewing machine and an umbrella on an operating table” Lautreamont.
This is our second exhibition motivated by a commonality of artistic interest and ideas, which is what drew us together as friends in the first place.
Our work is quite different but also intersects in many ways and we are both drawn to the surprising nature of things in curious juxtapositions, which inspired the uncanny beauty of Dada and Surrealist art.
We both like artists like De Chirico who evoked strangely familiar worlds in his paintings of deserted Italian city squares and in our respective ways are looking for such evocative moments.
Like mining the fissures of the Umheimlich.

A retrospective exhibition to celebrate the life and art of Celia Batorijs. Celia was a prolific and colourful local textile artist who loved to experiment in every aspect of textile creation from spinning and weaving rare breed wool to lacework, felt, indigo and making her own unique clothes.
This collection showcases Celia’s development, life journey and unique spirit that made her a popular teacher and friend.
Celia was a consummate seamstress, embroiderer, knitting and crochet expert, and she loved to travel to exotic destinations with rich textile histories with an appreciation of the traditions and culture that reflected the lives of the women of that land. Celia was inspired by these excursions alongside the patterns and abstract shapes within Nature.

This exhibition showcases the work of adults with learning disabilities and autism.
The people we support create beautiful and unique pieces across a range of crafts, including woodwork, pottery, glass, metal, jewellery and textiles.
Working across a variety of materials each maker brings their own perspective and sensitivity to their craft. The grain of carved wood, the smooth curve of glazed ceramics, the shimmer of glass, the delicate nature of handcrafted jewellery, and the layered qualities of woven and stitched textiles all reveal how materials respond to touch and illumination.
Rough and smooth, matte and polished, opaque and translucent — every piece tells a story.
At Camphill Devon, we believe in lifelong learning and creativity. Our workshops are places of exploration, where individuals are supported to develop practical skills, artistic confidence and a strong sense of purpose.
\Making is not only about producing beautiful objects; it is about growth, expression and belonging.

return to Birdwood House Gallery
with a new and vibrant exhibition of paintings, sculpture and jewellery.
From groups, flocks, herds, forests, mobs and murders to collections and meeting points – the gatherings and the gathered – these two artists curate the threads of our creative experience.
An exhibition of paintings by Alan Dax SWAc
email alandaxartist@gmail.com
The essence of Alan’s work attempts to convey a spirit of place, from atmospheric scenery to reflective interiors.
Alan’s home village backs onto Dartmoor, where he can experience these surroundings in all weathers. New ideas evolve from thought provoking environments, from familiar scenes closer to home to the ever-changing moods outside and further afield, creating the inspiration for his oil paintings.
Alan regularly exhibits his work though out the United Kingdom and he is an academician with the South West Academy of Fine and Applied Art.

And Death Shall Have No Dominion
OPENING TIMES : 10-5 daily
Born in India and raised in Australia, I grew up with the brilliant colours of both lands in my blood 83 years ago.
This show is dedicated to the memory of Diana Heathcote Derioz,my exceptional sister who died in 2023 and who was my familiar friend for 78 years.
The show is named from a poem by Dylan Thomas and reminds us that Death is the silent,stellar companion that is with us continuously from birth.
My work tracks this in the various forms it has taken during my life, from the personal to the recent genocide occurring in Gaza.
