Solo arty day in South Kensington just opposite my old flat, was a dreamy trip down memory lane
1. Learned a fun new skill with @kushiaania at the V&A, side note- did everyone else know there are free workshops and the learning centre in the museum and why didnt i??
2. The most enchanting exhibit curated by @venetiahiggins fulls of mythical creatures and folk art. I got away safely with only one beautiful print from @rowan_macgregor
6. Unfortunately I exited @thegalleryatgreenandstone via the art supply shop, and fell in love with everything including @mcfriendy cards. If you love crafting or just love supplies then I cannot recommend enough

Curated conversations.

One of the main things I love about curating my shows is ensuring the artworks have subtle conversations with each other. The tiny snail in @kate.sampson.ceramics beautiful platter is chatting to my ceramic snail. @ruth_dupre’s puffin is eyeing up the shoal of herrings in @florence.sweryda’s box, Steve Camps’ iconic whales are happily following my ceramic whale, @millie_amber and @ramsay.gillies’s mermaids are complaining about us air-breathing humans, @charlotte_salt_’s three lion faces mirror @lauren.drescher’s three lions, the shapes in @amberbardell @kerrywint.artist and @emma_sheehy_’s pieces all somehow connect to each other, @paulbommer’s CILLA & @rosie_haine_studio’s tiles are marvellous hybrids hanging out together - etc etc. I so hope some of you noticed these little connections between the pieces in my FOLKLORE MYTHS & LEGENDS curation - as these conversations is what brings me so much excitement. Spanning ceramics, textiles, metalwork, painting, printmaking and woodwork, spanning ancient mythology to contemporary folklore - all these artworks are so vastly different but I hope I’ve done my job in helping them find connections. ❤️ The final day to view the show is tomorrow - 10am-5pm.

FOLKLORE, MYTHS AND LEGENDS ⭐ ROSIE MCLACHLAN

Spotlighting artist Rosie McLachlan, whose work is currently on display as part of Folklore, Myths and Legends at The Gallery.

Rosie McLachlan is an artist based in North East England and an elected member of the Royal Society of Sculptors. Informed by her background in archaeology, she creates wood-fired ceramic sculptures that explore ritual, grief, ecology and imagined futures. Using site-specific clays and ancient firing techniques, her work evokes speculative relics that exist somewhere between archaeology, mythology and prophecy.

Curated by @venetiahiggins, the exhibition brings together artists exploring stories, traditions and imagery drawn from folklore, myth and legend.

Visit us in the gallery until 17 October.

BREAD, 20.5 x 25.7 cm, 2026.

Acrylic paint and pencil crayon on canvas.

Bread has been around in different forms through out the ages. Breaking bread is a communal experience across many religious and cultural traditions; bringing us together around the dinner table.

My Nan used to make bread rolls that were dense but tasted amazing!

This painting is currently exhibited at @thegalleryatgreenandstone in the ‘Folklore, Myths and Legends’ exhibition curated by @venetiahiggins You can see the exhibition both in person at the gallery and online (link in my bio) until 17th October ✨
