Exhibitions
Presenting work within a working craft space
Exhibitions at the Smiddy present contemporary craft and material practice within the context of a working workshop.
They are developed with care for material, process, and context, and are shaped to sit alongside learning, making, and community activity rather than operating as a separate or purely commercial programme.
Sales and purchasing
Some exhibitions include work for sale, either in the gallery or online.
Where this is the case, it is clearly indicated within exhibition information. Exhibition sales and Online Shop listings are managed separately, and availability may differ.
For work available online, please see the Shop.
Visiting exhibitions
Exhibitions are open during advertised gallery opening hours.
For visiting information, including opening times, location, and accessibility, please see Visit.
-
Exhibitions are curated presentations of work that reflect thoughtful making and professional practice.
They may include:
Solo exhibitions
Group exhibitions
Invited projects
Work developed through residencies or longer-term engagement, where appropriate
Exhibitions are approached with attention to scale, pacing, and how they sit within a shared, active space.
-
Exhibitions are developed through curatorial dialogue rather than automatic progression.
Some exhibitions arise from invitations or existing relationships. Others develop through longer-term conversations with practitioners whose work aligns with the values and context of the Smiddy.
Participation in learning, residencies, or studio access does not imply exhibition opportunity.
