Artshed is Hertfordshire’s newest contemporary art venue
situated on the Rib Valley leisure complex at Westmill
Farm, Ware. A unique combination of a large gallery
space, ceramic & art supplies, workshops and our
newest arrival The Crimson Scribbles Café.
Started in November 2003 by three local artists, Artshed
has gone from strength to strength. Artshed hosted its
first Contemporary Art & Sculpture Fair in May 2004,
exhibiting work by over 150 artists including original
prints by some leading 20th Century artists including
Picasso, Tracey Emin, Howard Hodgkin, Chris Ofilli, Anita
Klein amongst others.
Artshed shop is a retail outlet for fine art supplies as
well as stocking a wide variety of clays, tools and
glazes for the ceramicist. The shop includes a bespoke
framer who offers an exceptionally fast and efficient
service. Additionally, the shop exhibits many arts &
crafts from artists giving them the opportunity to sell
their work on a commission only basis, providing an
exceptional variety of goods and services for the
visitor.
Artshed runs a comprehensive programme of workshops for
adults and children, from beginners to the more
experienced artist. Artists and practitioners can set up
and run their own courses and workshops or hold large
group exhibitions in the gallery. Artshed also has kiln
firing facilities available for hire. Located on a new
leisure complex featuring a Restaurant, with views over
the Rib Valley, Function Room, Fishing Lakes and Golf
Course, Artshed brings a creative focus to this mix of
leisure opportunities. Together the facilities of Artshed
provide an all round artistic experience, not only for
the artist, but for the collector, enthusiast and visitor
alike.
