A PLACE WORTH KNOWING
A Friday escape into colour and clay
Sculptural ceramics, expressive colour and a working studio inside Appledore’s Old Glove Factory.
There is a lovely reason to make your Appledore wander a Friday outing. Sandy Brown welcomes visitors into her studio and gallery at the Old Glove Factory, where finished works sit alongside the life of a working artist. Her ceramics bring loose marks, lively colour and sculptural shapes together. Take your time with the changing display and ask about a piece that catches your eye. Many works are available to buy directly.
