Next couple of weeks were a dusk to dawn blur of adrenaline-laced ideas during the day and scribbles in the middle of the night, formulating an exciting blueprint for a vibrant, successful new gallery.  A wish list of artists and makers. Synchronicity of heritage and contemporary.

What better location to promote the wonderful art of making and championing the unique and exciting transformative processes used by artists and makers than an old pharmacy? A contemporary gallery that will focus on exceptional makers working across a wide range of disciplines from ceramics, glass and wood to print making and sculpture — with an emphasis on craftsmanship, materiality and timeless design. With Alchemy at the heart of the big plan. And so the foundations for The Alchemist Gallery were laid.
