Upcoming Exhibition 

Harvest
6th September - 15th October 2024 
 
A word from Kate Duke
Farmer's wife and Founder of Compass Courtyard
In the farming year, harvest time is the grand finale of eleven months of hard work. Planting, nurturing, growing seeds to maturity, with fingers crossed that the weather will be kind to all of us. At Compass Courtyard, we too have been following the seasons, watching as the sun moves around us. In the summer, the compass looks to the south, the fire element and we hope that the harvest can bring to us, sunshine and nourishment for food, body and soul.

We are tickled pink to be exhibiting original artworks by Sara, who will also be running sketchbook workshops in September, so make sure you register your interest below so not to miss out. 

A word from Sara...

“Late summer is a gift for artists. As a countryside dweller, the colours and buzz of harvest time is a source of inspiration whenever I leave my house - preferably with a sketchbook!”

Annabel Wightman

Ethereal and thought-provoking, Annabel’s surreal yet fantastically lifelike sea creatures mirror the oceanic depths they inhabit.

Her inspiration for her most recent ceramic collection has flowed from her love of walking the Berwickshire Coastline and her curiosity of the marvellous diversity of seaweeds, grasses, kelps and sediments that are hidden under the surface. These intricately crafted series of porcelain coral formations explore the delicate state of the ocean floor.

Pop along to the Gallery to view/purchase.
