Garden of Entropy - A joint exhibition

Tuesday 1st to Sunday 6th April 2025
Open Tuesday - Saturday 10am - 4pm, Sunday 10 - 3pm, open evening shopping Friday 4th April, 6.30-9.30pm
The Setting gallery and Plot café, Three Storeys, Old Bristol Rd, Nailsworth, GL6 0JE

Garden of Entropy brings together a diverse collective of local artists, showcasing a range of works across various 2D and 3D mediums that reflect the vibrant and evolving artistic scene of Gloucestershire.

With contributors spanning different ages and backgrounds, the exhibition offers a dynamic blend of perspectives, united by a shared passion for creativity.

Visitors can expect an eclectic mix of sculptures, photography, paintings, ceramics, and mixed-media pieces, each revealing the distinctive voice of its creator. While there is no overarching theme, the exhibition carries subtle tones of rebellion, with some works challenging convention, pushing artistic boundaries, or offering fresh interpretations of familiar subjects.


Diversity itself stands as one of the exhibition’s focal points, with no two pieces alike. The range of styles, materials, and artistic approaches ensures a visually and conceptually rich showcase, inviting audiences to explore and interpret the works in their own way.

Timed with the arrival of spring—a season of renewal and awakening—the show reflects a similar spirit, with artists coming together to blossom as a collective. Organised by the artists, this grassroots initiative highlights the power of collaboration and community, providing a platform for emerging and established talent to shine.

Works will be available for purchase for those looking to take home a piece of the exhibition, offering a unique opportunity to support local artists and bring original art into personal collections.

Connections - an exhibition of paintings by Alison Vickery

‘Connections’ - Alison Vickery

Tuesday 8th April - Sunday 20th April*

Open Tuesday - Saturday 10am - 4pm, Sunday 10am - 3pm, artist in residence each day 11am - 2pm

The Setting Gallery, Three Storeys, Nailsworth, GL6 0JE

‘Connections’ will feature an exhibit of landscapes, seascapes and floral paintings from local Amberley artist Alison Vickery.

‘Connections’ refers to the relationship that Alison has with the subjects that inspire her, the connection the paintings have with the viewer, and the connections she makes through her teaching and workshops.

Alison is inspired by the beautiful Cotswold landscape, particularly when caught in the changing light and colours of the seasons. Drawn to local waterways and their reflections, Alison also makes frequent visits to the coast to capture different moods from ferocious stormy waves to gentle ripples.

Flowers have also always been an inspiration, catching their character, essence and fleeting nature, from the first brave snowdrop to the swathes of hardy flowers that fill the borders in the Summer with a riot of colour. Drawn to local waterways and their reflections, Alison also makes frequent visits to the coast to capture different moods from ferocious stormy waves to gentle ripples.

*Alison will be running a workshop during the exhibition, and will be in the gallery on all other days between 11am and 1pm.

‘On the Green Edge’ Laura Dutton, Sylvia Wadsley and Emma Yorke

Tuesday 22nd April - Sunday 27th April

The Setting Gallery and the Plot café, Three Storeys, Nailsworth, GL6 0JE

Open Tuesday to Saturday 10am to 4pm, Sunday 10am to 3pm.

Featuring the work of three artists connected through their deep commitment to the natural environment and concerns for its fragility.

Laura Dutton

Laura Dutton  - I work in glass and make sculptures which are inspired by wonderful natural forms. My work is about our connection to nature and other organisms.

The Green Edge is a place of duality. It is a between place that holds peace and unrest, beauty and ugliness. It is a place of wildness, danger and wonderful potential. My work shines a light on organisms and ways of being that exist in the margins and edges of our consciousness, the mysterious, the unseen, the unnoticed, the vital.  

Sylvia Wadsley

Sylvia Wadsley - Landscape painting helps me to reflect on my relationship with nature. I explore the invisible thread which connects us to the natural world and how this thread is fragile and easily broken.

For me, the green edge symbolises a boundary which separates us from nature. We live urban lives on the edge of the green wild. Our view of landscapes is often mediated by screens which further alienates us. My most recent paintings aim to re-enchant landscape. They invite the viewer to step over the green edge and enter a liminal space.

Emma Yorke

Emma Yorke - Informed by narratives of change and the instability of memory, my work develops in response to well-loved landscapes, considering what is lost (and what remains) over the passage of time.

 I work with a cross-disciplinary practice, increasingly concerned with notions of grief, care and repair as our ecological framework continues to unravel.  I experience the green edge as a space to encounter both joy and sorrow in our interrelationship with ‘nature’, recognising that, as Francis Weller writes, ‘We must restore the healing ground of grief. We must find the courage, once again, to walk its wild edge.’

Time - An exhibition of works by Kathy Clare, Allison Cumberbirch and Kate Kay

A joint exhibition of work by three friends who each express themselves through a different medium.

Tuesday 29th April - Sunday 4th May, Tuesday - Saturday 10am - 4pm, Sunday 10am - 3pm.

The Setting gallery and Plot café, Three Storeys, Old Bristol Rd, Nailsworth, GL6 0JE

Three women drawn together twelve years ago by chance on a beginner’s art access course went on to complete a Masters together. Now they are reunited, seeking to make sense of these changing times. Expressing their experience of the impact of time passing for each one of them, they are now reflecting on their past and looking forward to what the future holds for them.

Kathy Clare

Kathy Clare

Studying Fine Art gave me a new lease of life and opened the door to so many new opportunities. I love being part of an artist community of likeminded people, making new friends along the way. I enjoy the complex process of making by casting and sculpting in porcelain.   Once created, the pieces are refined with finer details of the domestic settings of my childhood memories.  Precious memories kept safely within a delicate material, giving them the empathy they deserve.  My work portrays a sense of loss, not being able to return to the golden years, that safe place of childhood. I return in my artwork, preserving moments of my memories to stop them fading in time and recollection.

Allison Cumberbirch

Allison Cumberbirch

As a child I loved all kinds of stories … I gobbled them up and still do.  From fairy tales/myths/allegorical/domestic/historical/personal…there’s something about storytelling that has continued to compel me. The other thing I loved as a child was playing with drawing, colouring, cutting and sticking; making dolls to colour in and play dressing up with was especially enjoyed. Over time I lost this connection between stories and making which I re-discovered when I joined the Art Access course and continued to develop during my MA in Visual Communication. Drawing on multimedia surfaces I have experimented with introducing movement and 3 dimensions. I have created characters and placed them into scenes. Some playful, humorous or dark / real or imagined; propelling me towards playing with toy metaphors such as paper dolls/ puppets/ building bricks/ pop up books. This project has been a joyful reconnection with the timeless worlds of story and play.

Kate Kay

Kate Kay

Kate ended her working life as a senior Lawyer in 2011.  A chance summer school at Stroud College led to a decade of creativity, an MA in Fine Art and more importantly friendships which have lasted for over 15 years.  She said “It was glass that got me into this.  A magical recyclable material made out of soda, lime and sand which metamorphoses into a glowing non crystalline solid which shapeshifts into any form. It is glass that I have returned to combined with breath which is automatic invisible constant and unremitting as time.

Cut Flowers: an exhibition of botanical paper-cut collages by Shelley Saguaro

Tuesday 27th May - Sunday 1st June, Tuesday to Saturday 10am - 4pm, Sunday 10am - 3pm

Shelley Saguaro is a local paper-cut artist.

Her work is inspired by the eighteenth-century artist, Mary Delany, whose detailed botanical ‘paper mosaiks’ were most often presented on black backgrounds.  Shelley’s early papercuts followed suit, sharing, too, Delany’s interest in accurate botanical detail. These days the backgrounds and the presentation of plants are more various, including some using plant-printing. However, the use of scissors, glue and paper remains a constant.

Mounted and framed originals will be on display and for sale. Greeting cards, postcards and a selection of unmounted prints will also be available.

A ‘Cut Flowers’ paper-cutting workshop at Three Storey is planned for the Autumn.

The Colour Collection - Paintings by Caroline Cattermull

Tuesday 10th June - Sunday 15th June, Tuesday - Sunday 10am - 4pm

The Setting gallery and Plot café, The Setting Gallery, Three Storeys, Nailsworth, Glos, GL6 0JE

The Colour Collection will feature paintings of animals, people and landscapes, using playful, distinctive colours that vibrate with energy. Caroline’s brush strokes create an illusion of movement; ‘I like to weave a story on the surface of the canvas, creating pieces that draw the viewer in’.

Travel and nature, light and movement are Caroline’s greatest inspiration. However, the sights and sounds of living with other cultures for 20 years have had a lasting effect on how she sees the world. Painting and colour have only become an integral part of her life in the last few years and she now works as a full-time painter in her Cotswold studio.
Caroline will be painting live in the exhibition throughout the week and running a painting workshop in the gallery on the 12th June. If you’d like to book a spot in the workshop, please contact her at cattermull24@hotmail.com

Reciprocal Exchange - A Community Art Project

Tuesday 25th – Sunday 30th March - The Setting Gallery, Three Storeys, Nailsworth, GL6 0JE. Open Tuesday to Saturday 10am to 4pm, Sunday 10am to 3pm.

What happens when we take money out of the equation?

Studying part-time for a Master’s in Fine Art with Falmouth university, this project is Ben Welch’s response to a module about collaboration.

“I started with a simple question: what happens when we take money out of the equation? I’ve always been interested in the ways art circulates, who gets to own it, who gets to engage with it, and what we actually mean when we talk about "value."

Initially toying with the idea of asking artists to give their work away for free, the idea of exchange kept coming up, not just as a transaction but as something more human about trust, negotiation, and shared experience.

At its core, this isn’t just a community event; it is a work of art in itself. Every exchange that takes place, every negotiation between artist and participant becomes part of the piece, a tiny performance of creativity and connection.

By inviting people to offer skills, time, or handmade items instead of money, the project challenges traditional ideas of what art is "worth." It’s about breaking down barriers, making art feel more accessible, and seeing what happens when we shift the focus from ownership to interaction.

The social aspect is just as important as the objects being exchanged. The event is shaped by the people who take part their contributions, their offers, their stories. In that sense, it aligns with ideas of relational aesthetics, where the meaning of the work emerges through human interaction.

More than anything, this is an attempt to blur the lines between artist and audience, artwork and exchange, exhibition and experience. It’s an experiment in generosity, a creative intervention into everyday life, and a way of questioning how we relate to art, and to each other.

‘Painting in watercolour was an exciting new departure for me, beginning in 2019.  I painted in oils during my studies at Camberwell School of Art and Goldsmiths’ College, where I did a degree in Fine Art, but I found the freshness and vibrancy of watercolour altogether different. 

There is a peculiar spontaneity in watercolour, as pigment reacts with water moving into a variety of specialised papers, either rough or smooth.  It is fascinating to be able to be able to work precisely, with a fine brush on botanical painting, or to allow paint to find its own direction when a mop brush is loaded with colour and then applied to wet paper, to evoke sky, sea and earth. Endless possibilities arise, and the journey is a process where time disappears, a meditation. 

I am inspired by my garden, and I love the transparency of irises in particular.  Composing a landscape I’m interested in evoking air, space, and movement, capturing or creating a moment in time.  I have learned how leaving expanses of white, unpainted paper electrifies the scene, as do diagonal lines. 

The air, sea, sand and fields of Mallorca have been particularly inspiring in 2024.  I hope that you will find something that resonates with your own joyful moments, as you study the results of my days spent painting.’

John Rodgers

‘My relationship with Greece began when I received a British Council-Greek Ministry scholarship upon leaving the Slade in London, in 1979. It culminated in an exhibition at the British Council on Plateau Kolonaki, Athens, in 1981, the first of a number of exhibitions I made in Greece, over the years.

I have included one or two early work “remainders” I had made and previously shown in Greece, the odd borrowed painting in a selection made up entirely of oil paintings but over time, I have often worked in watercolour as well, the climate lends itself to both mediums.

Both England and Greece have been key to my work as a representational painter. I began with English landscape from a very early age, working directly from life, the influence of Robin Tanner, a late friend of my fathers, in Oxfordshire at that time. The subtleties of landscape never cease to engage me. When I arrived in Greece (I first went by train) it was the timeless quality of the old Greece, I first witnessed then, albeit briefly, and the intense quality of the light, once experienced, never forgotten, that have remained informative. The aspect of looking, association, memory, reflection and some very special friendships, people and places, I have made along the way, poly kali kardia (very good hearted), as the Greeks would say!’

Lucy has worked for thirty years as a portrait painter in the medium of pastille.  Working from her studio in South Woodchester, she has travelled the country extensively, drawing adults, children, horses and dogs.  She has built up a strong reputation.

In 2022, making a bold decision, she enrolled at the well-renowned Heatherley School of Art in London on a two-year oil portraiture course to satisfy her long held desire to paint in this medium.

She won the school’s Sainsbury prize for Portraiture in her year, and her work was commended by Alistair Adams RP.
This exhibition will include a selection of her paintings from this course, as well as some recent ones of local characters.
Lucy is now looking forward to taking commissions for both oil and pastille portraits.

Open Tuesday to Saturday 10am to 4pm, Sunday 10am to 3pm.

Sylvia Wadsley

Standing at the edge of the sea, I am captivated by the distant horizon, vastness, space, endlessness and the possibility of setting off into the unknown. 

I paint atmospheric seascapes which aim to impart peace and serenity, calming the anxieties and complications of the times we live in.  My seascape work is for me a meditative form of painting in contrast to my landscape work which is often around environmental concerns.

Laura Dutton

 I love to observe, absorb, gather and collect at the edge of the sea.

My process involves wandering and wondering at the strangeness and beauty of the anima of the sea and it’s treasures washed up by the wealth of the tide. These glass sculptures try to capture something of the beauty, fragility, resilience and wonder of life within the waves.

Surrounded by beautiful Cotswold cottages, floral gardens and ever-changing sessional views, these dreamlike surroundings inspired her study for her master's.

Kathy will be showing her work in the Plot café.

Open weekdays 9am to 4pm, Saturday 10am to 4pm, Sunday 10am to 3pm.

Gemma is a self-taught artist having grown up in a creative household at the foot of the Ridgeway in Oxfordshire. Gemma’s first career however, developed from her love of biology and having graduated from Southampton University with a degree in Physiotherapy, she then worked in Bristol and throughout mid and West Cornwall within the NHS. It was after the birth of her two sons that Gemma decided to revisit art. Possibly due to spending so much time in nature again as a mother of young children; Gemma was drawn to express the natural world through paint.

‘Where We Stand and What We See’ is Gemma’s second solo exhibition since she first started showing her work publicly in 2018.  Following on from her successful solo show ‘Living in the Landscape’ in 2022, Gemma has been exhibiting and selling work in group shows within the local area.

With an unceasing pull to the land, Gemma has been exploring our much-loved local landscape; walking the cow lines and paths to find different viewpoints to the familiar landscapes that are woven into our lives. ‘Where We Stand and What We See’ looks at the unique landscape in which we live; and continues to call the viewer to not only celebrate these places, but also to recognise that as we live in them, these places also live within us.

The Setting gallery, Three Storeys, Old Bristol Rd, Nailsworth, GL6 0JE

‘Flow-Scapes’ - Explorations in paint, ink, shape and form. An exhibition of work by local artists Jemma Jones and Melody Sellors.

Melody's work is influenced by her love of small details everywhere.  Be it the curl of a fern or the organic landscape of the coast. 

The repetitive shapes and lines of nature become the inky explorations that lead to her abstract pieces.

Jemma immerses herself in the colours of nature. Storing memories of land and sky-scapes, which form her paintings, using acrylics and oils on canvas.

Not always conscious of where the work will take her,  this brings an organic flow to her art,  bringing vibrant colours and texture alive.

Both Jemma and Melody take much of their inspiration from nature. Be it hill-scape or coast-scape.

Coming together with their first joint exhibition ‘Flow-Scapes’ they can share their love of shape and form in their distinct styles of paint and ink. Both artists will have originals and prints for sale along with lamps, t-shirts and bags.

Canal Reflections

Michael has a long career as an artist which includes teaching at St Martin’s and Goldsmiths’ College in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, as well as producing his own work in a variety of media over the years.

Michael’s work shows his interest in space, light and the precarious human presence therein.

Choosing to work with coloured pencils for the last three years, rather than his usual acrylic or watercolours which had been his main media for years.

Jubilee Bridge

Michael insists on leaving the slightest gap between every pencil mark, increasing the lightness of the overall surface, thus taking it back to the characteristics of watercolour, and also strengthening the directional movement of the marks.

Echo Parker

With a passion for the human form, you can expect to see individuals as the focal point of Echo’s work, spreading across many media, ranging from life drawing to installation pieces.

While originally this interest was focussed around the physical form it has now spread to encompass psychological and social aspects of humanity.  It is such a passion that has led her through the local Art Foundation course and onto University to study Fine Art, with the aim of expanding her knowledge and maturing her skill sets to nourish her creativity. 

Poppy Kakoz

With a focus on people and the effects of tourism, Poppy has spent the last two years following A-Levels, travelling widely around Europe, Asia and Africa, recording as she goes.

Her passion for photography has lead her to further education; in September she will start a degree at University Arts London, studying Photojournalism and Documentary Photography.
