The Gallery Coordinator Grace Whowell will be preparing and setting up the Winter / Small Worlds exhibition. This exhibition invites many craft makers to exhibit for what is our largest selling exhibition of the year. The "Exhibition Set Up" is an excellent period for volunteers to get the most experience in a short period of time. Roll your sleeves up and help the small gallery team as the jobs involved show the many varied tasks from taking down the previous display right through to the opening of a new exhibition to the public.
