Anthony Dyke (21st October - 3rd November 2013)

Anthony Dyke - Photographer

Anthony's composition and willingness to go the extra mile for a different viewpoint of a scene makes for some great shots. I'm particularly taken with those he has taken at sunrise/sunset and in the snow.  He has an excellent eye for detail and yet is not afraid to experiment with some more abstract themes. Stunning.

An interesting mix of styles and subjects made this exhibition well worth a visit. From landscapes to still life, in different mediums, there was something to suit everyone's taste. A very talented bunch!




Hey! Look - See! (16th - 29th September 2013)


Paul Treweeks

Interesting angles, unusual subjects and a fascination with discarded objects made the ordinary extraordinary in this exhibition. Paul (or Wallman as he prefers to be known) is back with us in July 2014.. definitely worth a visit. 





Cheryl Stone (19th August - 31st September 2013)

Cheryl's beautiful watercolours are always popular. Light filled, subtle tones perfectly capturing local scenes. The warmth of the light and sensitive interpretation of the Gower coastline always make me want to get down to the beach! If you'd like to see some of Cheryl's work her website address is www.3cliffsart.co.uk.. well worth a look :-) 

Howard Middleton Jones - Sands of Time (29th July - 18th August 2013)


Sands of Time


A truly amazing photographic exhibition which visually catalogued Howard's extensive travels, as well as some scenes from slightly closer to home!
His aerial egyptian shots were breathtaking and really made you appreciate the scale of his work. 






Flotsam & Jetsam (15th - 28th July 2013)


 Flotsam and Jetsam

Dramatic textured paintings (David Hughes Jones), tactile ceramics (Lindy Martin) and delicate etheral jewellery (Katie Owen), truly beautiful work.

Retrosexual Clothing Exhibition Review by Cathy Evans


Retrosexual Clothing is a young, fresh & funky clothing company. It's an explosion of colour, VW cars & butterflies in motion; really bringing the slogan: 'Let the good times roll' to life.

The colours are bright and the design is bold, throwing itself from garment to the world,announcing itself in its teasingly, Woodstock-remniscient wording, we are 'Retrosexual Clothing!' It's more than just stylish though. These clothes are practical, a variety of vests, tees & hoodies that will take us all through summer to winter. This is style with substance, hearkening back to surfing, skating and music scenes.
The company are branching out creatively too: with paintings, art and clocks, by friends. The clocks are carved from wood and shaped like VW vans, corresponding with the clothing, and the deeply, rich paintings act as a backdrop, to an already vibrant world.
It is clear that Retrosexual want to say: let's have some fun. They successfully do this through their designs, making us feel we are part of the surf, the skate and the music.
