Meet the artist: Finding Treasure, exhibition by Frauke Watson

Meet the artist – Frauke will be in the gallery to answer questions and chat about her work between 12pm and 4pm on Saturday 20th January (no entry fee).

This exhibition is available from Tuesday 9th January to Friday 16th February 2024.

The gallery will be open Tuesday to Friday 10am to 4.30pm, plus during events and specially selected Saturdays.

For as long as she can remember, Frauke has been fascinated by the things other people consider as surplus to requirement. “What do you want with this old piece of trash?” has been the refrain of her life.

She believes that all things have a soul and that even unloved things can be loved again. All you need is a different point of view. The value of an item is very much determined by the fashion of the moment – and the context.

Frauke is a compulsive maker and is constantly exploring different art and craft techniques. Her greatest passion is the creation of new things from old or found objects. Her hope is that this exhibition will encourage you to see the world around you with different eyes.
