Using paper, felt, wire, cloth and wood, Kate explores the ordinary and the everyday. Celebrating humdrum with gentle humour, she invites the viewer to connect and to create their own narrative around each piece.

Working from her home workshop in Devon, these days Kate works mainly to commission and enjoys offering occasional workshops.

Devon Weavers Workshop Exhibition and Sale

December 1st to 6th

10am til 4:30pm daily

Members of Devon Weavers Workshop will be holding their 14th Exhibition & Sale of Handwoven Textiles at Birdwood House during early December 2025.

The textiles on display and for sale at Birdwood House this year will cover a wide range of design, colour and structure, including beautifully handwoven rugs, cushions, bags, shawls, scarves, tree decorations and many smaller items - all wonderful Christmas gift ideas for friends and family, and all at affordable prices.

The Workshop was set up in 2005 and is a not-for-profit, self-funding organisation run by its membership on a voluntary basis. Tutors come from around the world to teach at its premises near Ashprington, Totnes. This has led to an international reputation for excellence in tuition and the standard of work produced by its members.

Beginner, intermediate and advanced weavers’ courses are held regularly, with modern weaving equipment readily available thanks to two National Lottery Awards and an Ashley Family Foundation Award. Last year the Workshop doubled its floor area, making much more space for extra weaving equipment and more weavers.

The exhibition will be open from Monday 1 to Saturday 6 December. Opening times will be 10am to 4.30pm Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm on Saturday 6th.

For further information about the Workshop and its courses visit the website - www.devonweaversworkshop.org

A Woman’s Place - Ros Hills and Denise Watts

Opening times: Monday 15th December 10am-5pm

Tuesday 16th December 10am-8pm (Late night shopping)
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 10am-5pm
Saturday 20th December 10am-4pm

Enquiries: Ros Hills - rosielemons2@gmail.com

Denise Watts - denisewatts12@googlemail.com

"A woman’s place in life - worker, lover, provider, wife, mother, cook, cleaner, selfless carer, artist, businesswoman, seeker of truth, sometimes struggling between duty and desire, trying to keep her head above water - is portrayed in this exhibition through the media of paint , photo montage and textiles.

In the 21st century, in some parts of society, men still dictate how women should look, what they should wear, how they behave, how they speak, what they ask for.

There is a demand for women to satisfy the needs of others, to be used in a certain way, and if this is perceived not to be done punishment can occur.

Ros Hills and Denise Watts hope you will find inspiration from their exhibits, and maybe identify with some of the issues raised.

An exhibition of oil paintings and charcoal drawings by Rowan Day.

Exploring the mystery of life, through a spiritual quest for freedom while stepping into love, translating her personal journey of meditation and discovery onto canvas.

Deeply inspired by nature and the belief that divinity permeates every particle of creation. Rowan aims to communicate her inner experience, while capturing the compelling play between light and dark, beauty and chaos in the world all around us.

Her work speaks of hope, of light in the darkness and the dynamic motion of life and nature. Opening the doorway to the great beyond.
