The Artizan Sculpture Season offers a refined exploration of contemporary sculpture, presenting a series of quarterly exhibitions that showcase the diverse practices within 3D art. This Autumn Season, we are proud to feature the work of Becca Brown, Bev Knowlden, Tracy Nicholls, Alison West, Gesche Buecker and Jack Richardson. Each artist brings a distinct approach to sculpture, reflecting a deep engagement with form, material, and conceptual exploration. From intimate, hand-crafted sculptures and Jewellery to large-scale installations, the Autumn Season offers a comprehensive view of the sculptural landscape, inviting visitors to appreciate the intricacies and possibilities of the medium. The works displayed in this season reflect the varied ways in which artists engage with human experience, nature, and the complex relationships between objects and space. Alongside the sculpture exhibitions, our Printmaker Opens will offer a complementary program, expanding the dialogue between different art forms and presenting the depth of contemporary printmaking practice. This integration of sculpture and printmaking provides a rich, layered experience for visitors, underscoring the versatility and innovation of both mediums. Whether you're a collector, enthusiast, or simply a visitor with an interest in contemporary sculpture, the Artizan Sculpture Season provides a meaningful opportunity to engage with exceptional works that reflect the breadth and depth of 3D art today. The gallery will be open Thursday – Saturdays 10 am – 5 pm with some additional days during the period. Please contact the gallery if you are looking to visit outside our normal opening hours.

Artizan welcomes printmaker Charlotte Sainsbury to the gallery as we approach the end of the first 12 months of a dedicated programme of printmaking and sculpture at our Lucius Street Gallery. A painter as well as a printmaker, Charlotte will be showing a series of new works that focus on her printmaking practice and which demonstrate her love for, in particular, collagraphs. 'It was love at first sight when I come across a collagraph plate seventeen years ago. Made from scraps of material, paper, sand and textures, it was a thing of beauty in itself. The idea of creating art from discarded materials that were once overlooked, or intended for another reason, really resonates with me. And then to see the process reveal a print that’s not just an image but one with depth, tone and texture of an almost photographic quality……wonderful!' Since that day Charlotte has been producing collagraph prints based on her surroundings of boatyards, harbours and moorland on the Devon/ Cornwall border. She loves creating compositions using the shapes of the marine and industrial heritage of this area set against the patterns of the natural environment, allowing her to combine strong shapes with random mark making. 'There’s something magical about discovering an art form that instantly speaks to you, especially one that is as tactile and transformative as collagraph printmaking.' Charlotte's exhibition will be hosted in our main gallery space and will then relocate to our Courtyard Gallery on 15th November for the remainder of 2025. Each space will also feature specially selected 3D works from our seasonal sculpture artists. Launch: 3rd October 18:00-20:00 Openings Thursday - Saturday 10 am - 5 pm Closing Week: 23rd December | 10:00 – 17:00 Christmas Eve | 10:00 – 13:00

Artizan welcomes Leicestershire based artist Jo McChesney as we continue with our series of solo shows at our dedicated printmaking and sculpture gallery on Lucius Street. This exhibition brings together works that demonstrate Jo's constant source of inspiration, the natural world, with trees, weather and water a recurrent theme. From the changing light of dense woodland, to starkly lit trees against a bright sky, her work often focuses on transient moments in time, such as ripples on water, or drawing attention to unnoticed fleeting happenings, the tiny explosions and drift of seed heads, carried by air currents. She uses collected drawings and juxtaposes these with memories of time and place. Often the images are not fully realised at the stage of carving and can evolve and change through the process of the cutting. Each print is burnished by hand which allows the soft texture of the wood to emerge. Jo's exhibition will be hosted in our main gallery space whilst in our Courtyard Gallery we will be re-curating Charlotte's Sainsbury's Exhibition, 'Pressed and Pulled'. Each space will also feature specially selected 3D works from our seasonal sculpture artists. Thursday - Saturday 10 am - 5 pm or by appointment Closing week 23rd December 10 am - 5 pm 24th December 10 am - 1 pm
