Peter Clayton | Michelle Holmes | Sarah Kirby

An exhibition of original paintings, textiles and handmade prints - three unique yet converging perspectives. 

Three contemporary Leicestershire artists reflect upon Stoneywell, the magical cottage and gardens created by Ernest Gimson.  Stoneywell is a trove of timely treasures, sweeping vistas, ancient woodland and quirky nooks and crannies which until recently was home to a Leicester family who loved the Arts and Crafts.  The influence of the Arts and Crafts movement continues among artists, craft makers and designers today.

Meet the Artists: Thursday 14 March 2019

From 6-8pm at the Cank Street Gallery: meet the three artists
