Dovetail, the latest exhibition from Rums Eg Gallery in Romsey opened this Tuesday to great reception.
An exhibition of hand-crafted woodwork and furniture, it showcased the “the beauty, warmth and functionality of wood and the skills of the craftspeople who use it to make furniture, sculpture and functional pieces; using traditional and contemporary styles and techniques.”
The show was spread across three locations: Rums Eg Gallery itself, the Priory and the new mobile arts facility for the Test Valley ‘The Bus of Many Things’
Using the bus as a one-night pop-up gallery, artist and conservator John Gardner displayed examples of his work with wood and paint as well as the charcoal he creates himself from wood burners in the New Forest.
