EXHIBITION REVIEWS

I cannot say how moved I am to see this exhibition: for the serenity and power of Magdalene’s work, and its superb contextual placement - a chordal refrain from her ceramics to the CSC collections where she has played so powerful a role.
— Professor Simon Olding (retired Director of the CSC) on 'Magdalene Odundo : A Private View' - October 2022
A wonderful range of considered works immaculately presented, a testament to the importance of international exchange and an acknowledgment of the far reaching influence exerted by Japan and its textile cultures, past, present and future
— Visitor to 'Tansa : The Japanese Thread' - March 2022
Fantastic and inspirational exhibition - the passion of the basketmakers I was lucky enough to meet is infectious!
— Roger Harper, Prime Warden, Worshipful Company of Basketmakers on 'Nourish' - August 2022
Stunning, thought provoking and moving work by Caroline Bartlett.
— Visitor to 'A Restless Dynamic' exhibition by Caroline Bartlett - October 2021
Wow! I have been walking beaches, collecting debris, collaging storms, and now I see these forms interacting with the earth, I am home to paint!
