About the Gloucestershire Arts & Craft Centre

The Gloucestershire Arts and Crafts Centre opened in April 2010 in the busy docks area of Gloucester.  We aim to support the artistic and creative community of Gloucestershire and provide an interesting and inspiring place for visitors.  If you are visiting Gloucester the centre fits well in a day exploring Gloucester and the docks area and for those who live locally we offer not only a regular outlet for buying quality art and crafts from local makers but opportunities to explore and develop your own creativity.

The Shop at Gloucestershire Arts & Craft Centre

The centre has a thriving and growing shop which sells arts and crafts made exclusively by people living and working in Gloucestershire.  Here you will find comprehensive range of crafts including basketry, ceramics, furniture, glass, jewellery, leather, soaps, textiles and woodturning and some local produce along with a great selection of hand-made greetings cards.  These are complemented by displays of work from a selection of Gloucestershire artists.  The shop is staffed wholly by those whose work we sell, so you have the chance to talk to us directly.

Exhibitions at Gloucestershire Arts & Craft Centre

The centre has two exhibition spaces; an exhibition room and a ‘pop-up shop’ which both have rolling programmes of exhibitors and sellers, most of whom will not be showing their work elsewhere in the centre.  You can find a list of forthcoming exhibitors on our website.

Courses at Gloucestershire Arts & Craft Centres

Courses are run both by artists and craftspeople selling through the shop and by other local makers.  The courses vary between half-day or single day workshops to ongoing weekly courses and change throughout the year.
