A PLETHORA OF POSTCARDS:

13 June – 8 July

Hundreds of postcards will be on display. Do not miss out on seeing this delightful and varied show, with entries from all ages. The special category will be ‘eyes’. Entry forms are available on the Spiral Gallery website from mid April.

​

FISH AND THE SLEEPING WHALES:

11 July – 6 August

We long for the ocean views, the deep blues slashed with white foam.  Deepening in the distance until it meets the pale blue of the sky.  But this exhibition is about what is under that blue blanket.  The fish: many now endangered through loss of habitat, overfishing, and polluted waters.  Depicted through drawings and prints, playing with scale.

WHISPERS THROUGH FABRIC:

Issaa

29 December 2025 – 13 January 2026 gallery 2

Rooted in a childhood immersed in dressmaking & handcraft, Sara’s practice

embraces the improvisational nature of textile work. The pieces evolve through touch,

memory, & slow, meditative construction. Using her own eco-printed fabrics made

from leaves & flowers in her garden, she aims to create quiet, emotionally resonant

works that honour both personal and ecological histories.

SPIRAL GALLERY MEMBERS regularly changing works are displayed in Gallery 2 all year round.
