In January and February
it’s mostly Panto time and creative bargain hunting in the Sales, so Art
Exhibitions and events are rather thin on the ground if you look very
hard . . .
Why not take a trip to the
fascinating Watts Gallery in Compton which houses the studio collection
of the famous Victorian painter and sculptor G F Watts – nicknamed
England’s Michelangelo: Also collected works by his contemporaries
Burne-Jones, Leighton, Sargent and Morris, and pottery by Mary Watts.
Don’t miss the stunning circular celtic/art nouveau chapel she had built
for the new Compton village cemetery (Open to the public daily, but
check gallery times on 01483 810235) wattsgallery@yahoo.co.uk
Another intriguing place
to visit is the Fire and Iron Gallery at Rowhurst Forge, Oxshott Road
Leatherhead Tel: 01372 386453. Open all year round Mon - Sat 10.00am –
5.00pm Closed Suns and most Bank Hols.
Here you can see an
incredible collection of work by metal artists, from delicate jewellery
to life size steel animals and ornate beds, all housed in the
outbuildings of a beautiful 1450’s farmhouse.
Hundreds of unique
metalworks plus special exhibitions to complement the permanent
displays: also the occasional Blacksmithing demonstrations in the
purpose built arena (check beforehand for details)
