A PLACE WORTH KNOWING
Contemporary craft in an old riverside mill
Ceramics, glass, textiles and changing exhibitions, with an independent café upstairs.
Riverside Mill is a place to arrive without a shopping list and leave with a new favourite maker. MAKE Southwest brings contemporary craft into three galleries, with a retail collection that ranges from ceramics and glass to print, textiles and furniture. The building gives a browse a sense of occasion, while changing exhibitions keep it worth revisiting. Upstairs, Rodney’s is independently run and makes a natural second stop for a homemade cake or a light lunch. Allow time to look closely at the work, then check the programme if you would like your next visit to include making something yourself.
