News and developments

We are ever closer to the new website, with many artists now being represented by our gallery here in Suffolk for 12 months and more. With the prospect of going online with a new shop, we are excited but also slightly apprehensive, as all the blips with a new system will need to be ironed out!

We have a school visit of 50 students coming in for next month, as our programme is now extended, and more students are becoming involved due to the success in our student shows.

ROYAL NORFOLK SHOW 2011

We also will be represented at the Royal Norfolk Showground this year, in The R.C.A Rural Crafts Association stand, to represent the fact the our craftmakers are original and unique, and all of our craftwork is MADE IN BRITAIN. I’m so fed up with galleries that purchase in from abroad, is it not hard enough to be a craftsmaker here, but to have people who represent us buying mass produced rubbish, grrrrr!

Come and visit us! 29th and 30th June, we would love to see you!
