This September we are creating a temporary gathering place inspired by the Irish booley — the seasonal summer settlement where families moved with their cattle to the upland pastures. Part exhibition, part workshop programme and part meeting place, The Summer Keep explores the many ways we preserve summer: through art and craft, through the things we make by hand, and through memories, skills and shared experiences.
Over four days, we invite you to explore new artworks, design objects and works in progress, sample seasonal preserves and cordials, and spend time making, talking and gathering together. Bringing together fine art, traditional craft and contemporary design, the exhibition continues our ongoing exploration of our relationship with nature, place and the changing seasons.
17–20 September
Thursday–Sunday, 10 am–5 pm
Exhibition admission is free.
The Summer Keep Workshops
Alongside the exhibition, we will be hosting a series of workshops for adults and children. Together we will explore traditional making techniques inspired by the season, including sand casting and block printing, creating objects that become small keepsakes of summer.
Workshop places are limited, and booking is required.
