A PLACE WORTH KNOWING
For a little art and a lot of curiosity.
Field System brings a curious, creative energy to West Street. Part shop, part gallery and part print workshop, it is a place for folk-inspired art and objects with a story to tell. Go for a browse, an exhibition or simply the chance to come across something you would never have thought to search for.
Founders Milly Brown and Mark Jessett draw on a shared interest in folklore, art and the landscape around them. Their own clothing and home accessories are printed by hand on site, alongside a changing selection from other makers. The gallery programme adds exhibitions, talks and creative gatherings, giving you another reason to return when you are next in town.

SOMETHING TO LOOK OUT FOR
Take home a little Dartmoor folklore
Look for Ethan Pennell’s illustrated Dartmoor Folklore Map, packed with local legends, witches, pixies and strange places. Field System lists a folded version and a flat edition for framing; the newer map even includes the gallery.
