| The Edge Gallery
Established in October 2003 The Edge Gallery is owned by Lancastrians Ian and Priscilla Jones. We have a continually changing and exciting programme of exhibitions by selected artists from across the UK.
Our wide selection of art and design led work includes jewellery, ceramics, textiles, sculpture, paintings, prints, accessories and greeting cards.
We have a contemporary sculpture garden at the rear of the gallery that has enabled us to extend our range of exhibits to house outdoor work suitable for gardens and patios.
We have designed the Gallery interior to create a warm and friendly atmosphere where people can come to purchase and enjoy contemporary art in a relaxed environment.
The Edge Gallery is located in Lancaster's historic city centre with easy access by rail and road. Situated in the very heart of the North West arts scene the gallery is designed to inspire you with a range of new fresh and exciting art from around the UK and Europe.

‘Figuratively Speaking’ is an exhibition that explores the figure through stitch pushing the boundaries and processes in contemporary embroidery. Exhibiting artists include Cathy Cullis, Michelle Holmes, Priscilla Jones and Alice Kettle.
Cathy Cullis explores personal themes including dreams and memories translating them into tiny pictorial images, these are executed in machine embroidery and demonstrate her unique skill in identifying and exploiting meticulous detail. The embroideries are worked in dense stitch creating an intuitive response to the use of machine embroidery. One of her embroideries titled ‘Owl Dress’ depicts a figure wearing a garment adorned with a group of figures and an owl, the juxtaposition of the two features can only be described as a haunting image that evokes a truly emotional response.
Michelle Holmes also draws with stitch but in an entirely different way to Cullis. Focusing on the linier qualities the stitched line can create. Holmes works on a variety of carefully prepared background fabrics. The grounds themselves are considered in the extreme and are just as impor...[ 阅读全部 ]

Sirens - An Exhibition by Kate Webster
'Now the sirens have a still more fatal weapon than their song, namely their silence.'
Franz Kafka 1917.
Kate Has always worked in oil paints, producing a whole array of differing images, based upon various subject matter. In her latest exhibition, however, she has chosen to pay homage to some of the glamorous female icons of 'The Dream Machine', the golden age of Hollywood.
Kate's paintings, executed in black and white, portray the crisply evocative images of the thirties, forties and fifties. Each image stares out from its own imprisoning canvas, isolated in a static timeless nostalgia. Her subjects are pictured as a series of 'stills'.
Faithful to an era in which cinematic special effects were still unknown, and which the main source of light was placed high up in front of the subject, her idealised portraits display faces in which the shadows of the skin texture are smoothed away, and facial contours are exaggerated. This gives them the dual quality of being Sirens, both goddess like and ghostly.

I was driven to the Edge.
It’s exactly the right name for this uber-cool gallery, with cutting edge ideas in design – both the place itself and the exhibits on show. But the atmosphere is warm and friendly, and the art is actually affordable. Ceramics, glass, jewellery, prints, all hand made and perfect as gifts
