Spring 2016 exhibition, 'Pastures New,' featured ceramic bodices by Ellen Woods, and glass from Ruth Shelley among other contemporary craft delights.

A large painting or a majestic ceramic or glass piece can be a focal point in a room, but It's not just the large pieces of art or craft that make an impact in the home, so too can a grouping of smaller individual pieces.

I've been lucky enough to have Ruth Shelley's stunning kiln formed glass in every exhibition since The Byre opened in October 2013 - her work even featured on the first poster. Last year Ruth, very deservedly, won the prestigious Glass Sellers' Award at the Stourbridge International Biennale and since then her work has been in even more demand and now features in a number of the most notable galleries in Europe. I think Ruth's work has continued to develop and each new collection seems even more vibrant and exquisitely crafted than the last; her collection for Pastures New is quite simply stunning.

Breaking the Ice - our exhibition for Christmas is now open - online as well as in the gallery. Do take a moment to check out the 'shop' page where you can see some of the work featured in the show. If there is anything that you spotted in the gallery that isn't online, please give me a call.

Our exhibition for summer 2015, 'The Ripple Effect' is now open at the Byre Gallery. Some stunning new work in glass, ceramics, metal and textiles from some of our favourite makers and some new discoveries who are showing in a Cornwall gallery for the first time.

More maker success. I'm so pleased to share that Ruth Shelley - whose wonderful glass work can be seen at The Byre - has had three pieces selected for the highly prestigious British Glass Biennale which opens in Stourbridge at the end of this month. Ruth is one of just 76 finalists for this internationally acclaimed event. I'm rather proud that one of her pieces to be selected is Stormy Seas which was exhibited at The Byre last year. If you are in the Midlands between the 28 May and the end of June, do try to get along, it promises to be a stunning event.
