Eska Marsh at ABtS

Christmas has come early for us with the arrival of a parcel of new works from the printmaker Eska Marsh.

We can't get enough of the Bristol-based artist's work, and with a rapidly growing fan club, you'd better come and see what all the fuss is about.

We've got a selection of framed, unframed and artist's proofs in our Christmas show. Come and see them for yourself, or shop the gallery online.

A Feast for the senses

There's lots to love in our end of year show Feast, including a huge selection of hand thrown mugs and gorgeous tableware from a talented lineup of ceramicists, plus these festive feasting reliefs by Hilke MacIntyre.

We've got loads of new prints and some seriously stunning UK-made knitwear too, from Brighton-based Jo Cranston, Sarah Tyssen, and incredibly fine Fair Isle designs from Bakka.

Come and experience them for yourself.

Crochet your way to Christmas

There's still space to join Cathy Van Hear at ABtS as she puts the hand-crafted into Christmas at her bite-size Christmas crochet workshop on Saturday 9th December.

Gather some friends, cast on some glittery yarn, and make some truly festive decorations to gift and to keep. Everything you need will be provided for this two-hour, fun-filled afternoon.

If you've got greater ambitions, join Cathy for her Foundation Course for Beginners over three evenings in January and level up your crochet skills. Why not gift a place for Christmas?

Perfectly postable

You'd better be quick if you need to send your cards and presents by post. The recommended last posting day in the UK is Monday 18th December, and much sooner for overseas.

Lucky for you we've got some brilliant gifts and some really beautiful cards to send your yuletide greetings. Just pop them in an envelope and leave the hard work to the postie.

From beautifully wrapped chocolate bars, to sew-your-own tea towel dolls, cable-keepers, prints and poetry books, we've got an original gift idea for everyone.

Shop the Christmas section of our shop or, even better, visit us in store this Saturday 2nd for our Christmas shopping event.

Along with our neighbours Two Kats and a Cow gallery, and the Artists Open Studios, we'll be open until 6pm with festive feels and warming drinks.

See you soon!

You're invited!
