Leaving High Peak Artists

Richard — Mon, 10 Jan 2022 12:25:07 +0000

After 17 years with High Peak Artists I have decided to leave at the end of January 2022. I was recruited in February 2005, having already been accepted to join Peak District Products (an art and craft group of professional artisans living and working in the Peak District, now called Peak District Artisans). Based in Buxton we originally had an exhibition space in the Buxton Pump Room, opposite the 17th century Crescent building. Then in 2009 we moved to a purpose built gallery area, called Gallery in the Gardens, in Buxton Pavilion Gardens (SK17 6BE) main building and I’ve had the same space ever since to display and sell my work from.

I changed my display on Christmas Eve and these pictures show roughly what it looks like now – until everything is sold or 31st January when whatever is left will be removed.

There are lots of Dave Butcher original darkroom prints and framed photos at much reduced prices, most with 60% to 80% off the normal price. Lots of bargains, but only while stocks last, once they’re gone they’re gone!

Here are a few pictures of the building and the surrounding gardens and promenade.

Display Change in Gallery in the Gardens Buxton

Richard — Fri, 06 Aug 2021 14:33:40 +0000

I changed my display yesterday in Gallery in the Gardens in Pavilion Gardens Buxton. Several new hand-printed darkroom silver gelatin pictures as well as lots of small mounted darkroom prints at £5 and £15. I’m still being very cautious because of Covid-19 so it’s been a long time since it was last updated, it was pleasing to do it at last!

We are exhibiting at the Great Peak District Fair in Buxton Pavilion Gardens this weekend, 14th to 15th October 2017, 10am to 5pm. Lots to see, lots of show offers and a good range of original prints too.

The Buxton Beer Festival and a food and drink fair is also on at the same time, same place.

Here are some photos of our stand. It was setup day so there was no power in the marquee to brighten up the stand but we are at one end just inside the door so lots of daylight.
