The Shire Hall Gallery is pleased to announce that Gift Card Vouchers are available to purchase as a fantastic gift for anyone who has a passion for art and craft, loves unique handcrafted jewellery or would love to own a “one off” piece of glass or ceramics that they can treasure forever.
The Voucher can be spent in the Gallery Craft shop or on an exhibition item, on workshops held in the Gallery or to buy a membership for our popular “Friends” scheme, which gives you discounts throughout the year.

With Christmas just around the corner we think it’s never too early to begin ticking off presents on those dreaded, but all important Christmas lists. This season, alongside our usual popular makers, we are introducing a fresh selection of hand picked British designer makers, so it’s only fair to share with you some news about the gorgeous craft heading our way!
Nikki Ainscow’s stunning accessories created from manipulated ribbon and fabric offer an alternative to conventional jewellery. Nikki has been creating jewellery since completing her degree in Textile Crafts at the University of Huddersfield, and has since started her own company specializing in this unique range. Her creations are simply amazing, Nikki’s collection of ribbon jewellery make gorgeous gifts for that very special person.
Lucy Brown works predominantly in porcelain creating a unique selection of contemporary homeware pieces. Her stripy and spotty mugs and jugs are wonderfully quirky and are sure to brighten up the dullest of days. Lucy has also produced colourful Christmas tree decorations in her distinctive style.
Emma Palmer has adapted the vintage lace making technique of ‘tatting’ – originating in the 19th Century this technique uses a pointed oval shaped tool containing a length of wound thread which creates a series of detailed loops and knots. She has adapted this process to create her ‘cluster’ collection, a beautiful selection of contemporary silver and textile jewellery.
Natalie Musgrave's handmade jewellery is influenced by the sculptural landscape of the Yorkshire Coast and the romance of the natural world. Natalie’s work takes on the form of flora and fauna with the use of natural shapes, such as seed pods, sea shells and crustaceans cast in precious metals and bronze.
We still have lots of wonderfully new handmade craft from as little as £2 including Layla Ambers’ simple, fun and illustrative jewellery, funky kitsch tattoo inspired necklaces by Kitty pink alongside popular vintage treasures by Acorn & Will. Together with our fantastic range of festive greetings cards and stationary we are sure to stock something that will bring a smile to your face and suit every pocket!
Don’t forget our gift vouchers have arrived! These make the perfect present for that special person who seems to have everything. They start from as little as £5 and last for 12 months, giving the recipient lots of time to decide on a unique piece of craft!
