There is nothing like seeing handcrafted glass in person - the colours, textures and details really come alive when you see them up close!
Come and browse our latest pieces, find something beautiful for your home, or perhaps discover a special handmade gift.
If you are coming along, come and say hello! We’d love to see you. 💙
If you can’t make either event, come and visit our Dorset studio. Just give us a quick call before you come to ensure we are there. 😊
Which event will we see you at?

So lovely when a painting you made on residency finds its destination. My niece Sasha, bought my painting from Green’s Gallery Dulwich Village. It’s a perfect match and its journey is now complete. Thank you Sasha, interior designer #coxrama6#greensgallerydulwich#sandyhillarts #sandyhillartsresidency #swanage

✨We’re so excited that Swanage & the Isle of Purbeck are running to become the next UK Town of Culture 2028! ✨

To celebrate our town's rich culture and heritage, we've submitted a unique digital postcard to @dcmsgovuk - you can now explore our entry, alongside other submissions from towns across the UK, on the official UK Town of Culture Digital Map - link in bio!

Our postcard is a colourful snapshot of what makes this place so special - our creative communities, living heritage, incredible landscapes, and the people who bring it to life.

Join us in celebrating our amazing community and all the towns who’ve entered across the UK. Give it a share and comment what you love most about living, working or visiting this magical place!

We’re looking forward to our next performance of Freeing the Muse at @stour_music this week! Friday at 9:15pm!

Here’s a little memory from our concert for @purbeckartweeks - we loved sharing stories and music about such wonderful women from the 16th century - Molza, Casulana, Aleotti, the Concerto delle Donne, Stampa, Cavaletta… and even words from Sappho herself🤩

With the festival now finished for 2026 I just wanted to say a thank you to the following:
The artists - without you there wouldn’t be the amazing concerts, events or exhibitions and open studios showcasing what Purbeck has.
The Volunteers - without your help stewarding, distributing and erecting signage there wouldn’t be the visitor numbers that come from all over the country year on year.
The Sponsors - your ongoing support is invaluable.
The PAW Team - your hard work and patience organizing and juggling so many aspects amazes me.
The Trustees - without you there wouldn’t be a festival. The time you voluntarily take out of your busy lives throughout the year shows the commitment you have for making PAW a success year on year.
Purbeck - last but not least you have delivered again, thank you.
Planning is already in progress for 2027 so get the dates in the diary 29th May - 13th June it’s going to be incredible.

What a weekend! 🍰

As Purbeck Art Weeks comes to a close and our pop-up packs away for another year, we just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who came along and supported us.

It’s been wonderfully busy, and we truly appreciate every visit. Purbeck Art Weeks is more than a festival—it’s the result of year-round dedication, creativity, and hard work from an incredible team of volunteers, artists, and organisers. From planning exhibitions and events to supporting local talent and bringing the community together, their passion makes it all possible. A fantastic celebration of art, culture, and creativity, and we are very proud to be part of such a wonderful event.

Visited the In The Spirit of Paw exhibition this morning at the National Trust Castle View Welcome Centre. A great mix of work with something for everyone. A great space that brings out the best in the work.
A great location with excellent footfall.
