Richard Gardiner is in venue 1 (66 Hansford Square) exhibiting his lively mix of abstract expressionism using both acrylic and oil.

Venue 2 (18 Porlock Road) is a ceramics haven! With ceramicists Esther Norman and Kate Marshall, visitors will be treated to beautiful handmade pieces - from lampbases, to bowls and stoneware table pieces. Both Kate and Esther enjoy bringing a touch of sea to their work.

CLAY WHEEL DEMONSTRATIONS will take place on both the Saturday and Sunday, from 12pm onward (weather permitting), making this venue a must-see!

With only nineteen days to go until the 2021 Combe Down Art Trail weekend begins - and with current government guidelines allowing for a regular art trail to take place - we're gearing up to countdown the venues and artists taking part in this year's trail!

We'll kick things off by revealing this year's map, designed by artist Ele Nash. With a mix of fourteen private studio and public venues across the beautiful village of Combe Down, the trail aims to be as accessible to all as possible. We're delighted so many artists are taking part, with over thirty showcasing a variety of work, from paintings, to prints, sculpture to ceramics, food to music. There's something for everyone!

We're very sad to announce that Leila Wishart, one of our long-standing artists and supporters, has died.
Leila was a printmaker for many years and was involved with several group exhibitions in Bath. She had her artwork exhibited in the Bath Society of Artists Annual Exhibition and the West of England Academy. She was also involved in the Time & Space Gallery in Combe Down, which many local residents will remember. Her latter work involved mixed media, developed from relief print.
Leila will be greatly missed.
