Frances helped start ‘Boilerhouse Gallery’
in 2002, a co-operative gallery based at Sandy Hill Workshops
to promote the artists there.
The gallery has developed over time as artists
have come and gone. Now it also shows the work of other local
artists from Purbeck. Despite being tucked away from the main
road, this innovative gallery has increased in popularity and
shows a varied and high standard of art and crafts, wood, paintings,
stone, jewellery, glass, photography and of course pottery.
It’s present location is next to the
pottery, and is well worth a visit, with changing exhibitions
throughout the year.
