Our beautiful fine art gallery and printmaking studio is located in the heart of Ironbridge. The attractive industrial brick and wood timber frame building, with a 40ft high ceiling, is the perfect home for our gallery. We are proud to be a lively hub for artists and art lovers alike.
With over forty years of experience, we continue to work with a wide range of people. Many artists, schools, individuals, art groups and art societies come to our printmaking studio to learn about the art of printmaking. Our work has been carried out across Shropshire, the UK and right across the world.
Our fine art gallery runs on our passion for printmaking. Similarly, we put our passion into raising the awareness, profile, and accessibility of printmaking and fine art into everything we do. Our passion grows daily; as we see the joy that it brings people. We love what we do and enjoy seeing the positive effect and support that we can give to our customers.
As real artists, we know the dedication, passion, and drive that goes into producing artwork and being successful. As a business, we offer a range of services for every requirement that you may have. This ranges from drawing workshops, teaching the art of printmaking in our printmaking studio and being the sole distributor of the Gunning Arts Printing Presses. We carry out giclee printing and scanning, as well as artwork framing to guild-commended standards. Moreover, we also sell incredible artwork within our beautiful fine art gallery!

Current Exhibition
Our Current Exhibition, running from the 1st September through till the 30th November, featuring Emma Kirkman’s Lino and Etching Collection
“As an artist, I am influenced by the natural world around me and feel a profound and emotional connection with nature, I see the beauty in the mundane, the things that people pass in the street I find fascinating and want to explore. I draw Inspiration from my love of nature which I immerse myself in as much as I can. Although I am still exploring my process as an artist I find that experiences, where I have had the opportunity to interact or connect with a location and explore the surrounding environments and inhabitants, will spark off an idea that starts a chain reaction.”
Also on display is a large selection of work from our stable of core Artists including incredible etchings by Jenny Gunning, beautiful Pottery by Liz Gunning, Dave Gunning’s Graphite on Paper, Paul Gooderhams display of incredible Pottery, Fused Glass by Greg Anston Race, Charcoals by Rod Pountney and Handmade sterling silver jewellery by Liz Simmons and Jo Mollart Highfield.
The Gallery is free of charge to the general public Tuesday to Friday 10am till 5pm and Saturday 10am till 3pm. For private appointments or for further information please contact us on 01952434033.
