Steam Gallery is delighted to be hosting an exceptional new show ‘Poetry in Glass’ by Bob Crooks. One of Britain’s most highly recognised glassmakers, Bob is well-known for his original and challenging dynamic forms that exploit the many properties of studio glass. Bob works his glass magic in a studio in deepest Devon, and his output ranges from fine wine glasses to imaginative and elegant sculptural forms. Creating these perfect works requires the highest skill and concentration, especially with the ever-present threat of disaster in this intense complex process! Bob has created a brand-new collection of over 20 unique pieces for this special show. Contact the gallery on 01297 625144 to request a catalogue to be sent to you in advance of the exhibition opening, or request an invite to join for the launch day on Saturday 19 June, when Bob will be present. You can see the pieces online, and all are available to purchase now.

Distinguished artist, Martin Procter, will be exhibiting 30 new paintings at Marine House at Beer. Showcasing Martin’s renowned talent and creativity, this new exhibition is a testament to the glorious South West and Martin’s love for all its elements - its history, drama, beauty, and human imprint. Those who know Martin's work well will be thrilled by this latest collection of works, in which he has pulled back from abstraction and found new excitement in emotive more realist interpretations of some of his most beloved locations. Those new to his paintings will in no doubt find the distinct Procter signature style satisfying and compelling, as it continues to naturally explore the interaction between man and nature. Open daily from 10am – 5.30pm, everyone is welcome to attend the launch day on Saturday 19th June, when Martin will be present. Simply contact the gallery on 01297 625257 to request a catalogue to be sent to you in advance of the exhibition opening. Paintings are viewable online and are available to purchase now.
