Birch Tree Gallery

birch tree gallery – a new venue for fine-crafts and prints exhibitions – will open its doors on march 10th. the gallery will focus on art works that have roots in nature – weather in materials, inspiration or thematic elements. the birch tree image is very simple, but powerful. the strong visual and tactile quality of its bark embodies many of the same qualities that differentiate fine crafts from other arts - physicality of the art medium, texture, and time to master technical skills to produce the works. the first joint exhibition ‘semitones‘ (march 11 - april 8, 2017) will feature subtle colour transitions in wool and crystalline glazes and will showcase works by tapestry weaver louise oppenheimer from argyll and ceramicist maggie zerafa from skye. the future exhibitions will include works in wood, glass, stone, clay, mixed media and also, prints.
