Clouds and fields
Peter Phipps
30 September- 6 October 2026Open daily 10am – 5pm
(Last day Tuesday 29th 10am – 1pm)
‘Hi, I’m Peter, an artist based in the beautiful Cotswolds. I work mainly in oils and acrylics and I’m especially drawn to light, how it shifts through a landscape, warms ancient hills or softens the edges of a memory. A lot of my work has a nostalgic feel, inspired by the quiet charm of the countryside and those small familiar moments that stay with you.I try to paint the kind of scenes that make you pause, maybe even feel something you can’t quite put into words, just that sense of time, place and calm.’

ENDPAPERS
Tricia Crowther
7 - 13 October 2026
Open daily 10am – 5pm
(Last day Tuesday 29th 10am – 1pm)
Late night opening, Friday 9th October 5-8pm. All Welcome!Endpapers brings together a new collection of abstract collages by Tricia Crowther, constructed from discarded vintage papers and antique books Tricia strips the materials of their original purpose to focus on shape, texture and colour.
Her process is driven by visual balance, tension and a direct response to the paper itself. Through tearing, cutting and layering, these aged fragments alongside hand painted elements, she builds structured, contemporary compositions.
The title Endpapers references the physical sheets that bind a book together. In this exhibition, Tricia takes what was once overlooked and re-imagines a new narrative. The resultant works are structurally complex yet emotionally resonant echoing the passage of time and the layering of human memory.

SHAPE SPEAKING
David Felix
14 - 20 October 2026
Open daily 10am – 5pm
(Last day Tuesday 29th 10am – 1pm)This is David’s fifth one-man show at SPRING CHELTENHAM with work that continues to explore the relationship between text, shape, texture and colour.
As an inveterate re-user and recycler of materials ( he is also an avid gardener and committed compost maker ) David constructs many of these collage pieces by piecing corrugated cardboard together in a series of cross directional layers.
This provides a lightness and strength to the work and offers the possibility of creating Irregularly formed boards, as opposed to the traditional rectangle.
There’s a delightful freedom and flexibility here, together with the singular challenge of organising paper collage across and over an uneven format.
For example, the board is easily cut and objects can be set into the surface.
David also enjoys adding small attachments as projections, as extensions that emerge from the overall shapes, taking the work in a more three-dimensional, sculptural direction
Whether you are an emerging or established artist looking to exhibit your work, or a designer or craftsperson looking to launch new products or ideas to public, we want to help.
The 430 sq ft sensitively restored space offers a fantastic ground floor frontage with a direct entrance onto a pretty street in the centre of attractive Montpellier; well known for its bars, restaurants, specialist shops and galleries.
Housed in an immaculately presented grade II listed building , built over 170 years ago, the space is bright, intimate and full of character.
If you would like to join our stable of artists and designers, all you have to register your work in order for it to be reviewed by our team. The reason for doing this is while we are keen to maintain an eclectic mix of styles, we also want to make sure it is the right fit for the space.
The minimum hire period is one week starting at £400, but you may also book for longer periods when available, and we ask for no commission on any of your sales.
As well as hiring out the space to artists and creative businesses, we will also arrange a programme of selected group and solo shows where we will invite people to submit their work for inclusion.
