Free exhibition of handmade glass artworks inspired by nature by the UK Glass Collective, with meet-the-artist days and glass workshops.
Nature on Display is running at Fisherton Mill from 3 October to 14 November, a six-week exhibition by the UK Glass Collective. It takes over the first-floor Main Gallery, and since it's only accessible by stairs, that's something to keep in mind if you're planning a visit. The show is free to enter, so you can just pop in whenever suits.
The work comes from the UK Glass Collective, a group that formed in 2023 when several artists met on a professional and creative development course run by glass artist Catherine Dunstan and discovered a shared passion for the medium. Their pieces take the natural world as their subject, but they're made using a wide variety of techniques and individual styles, so you'll see quite a range of how different artists interpret the same theme. Alongside the main exhibition, the gallery also stocks budget-friendly gift items themed around Halloween and Christmas, as well as unique glass art for the home.
If you want to do more than just look, there are a few dates to work around. 'Meet the Artist' days run on Friday 30 October from 1pm to 3pm and Saturday 7 November from 11am to 3pm, when you can chat with the people behind the work. There are also workshops: on Tuesday 20 October, Alex Compton leads a session making Halloween glass skulls, and on Friday 30 October and Friday 6 November, Mandy Capel of 'Glasschick' runs workshops on opaque glass ornaments.
