Made in Ross is participating in the farOpen Art Trail from July 6th to July 14th (Studio 49 in the brochure). FarOpen is the annual celebration of the quality and diversity of visual art found within the Forest of Dean and along the rivers Severn and Wye and is not to be missed! A number of our artists and makers will be providing workshops and demonstrations during this period (see timetable below). Demos are free of charge but workshops incur a small charge to cover the cost of materials.

Come along to our OPEN DAY upstairs at the Corn Exchange on Saturday March 23rd 10am-4pm. We are celebrating our temporary move to this historic location so do join us! We will have demonstrations throughout the day from our talented artists & makers.

We have now completed our move to our temporary new home at the Corn Exchange (through the gate between Rossiter Books and The King's Head). Thank you to all who worked so hard to complete the big move and set up the new gallery layout, all within one week of closing at the Market House! Come and see us at the Corn Exchange from Monday March 18th 2024 (usual opening hours daily,10am-4pm)

Made in Ross is moving to it's temporary new home in the Council Offices at the Corn Exchange in March 2024. Restoration work is scheduled to take place on the historic Market House, our current home which means we will be moving the gallery once work is ready to commence. We are not going far though - our new home upstairs in the Corn Exchange (above the Tourist Information Office) is just a stone's throw away from the Market House.

Made in Ross will be offering a series of FREE lunchtime demonstrations on a range of arts and crafts skills and techniques. Why not pop upstairs in the Market House in the centre of Ross on Wye, see the demo, chat to the artists and browse the gallery for affordable Christmas gifts and treats. Who knows, you may be so intrigued you might decide to book a course for family, friends, or even yourself!
​We look forward to seeing you.

Inspired by Wye: Made in Ross Art Competition, September 2023
​On the evening of Friday 22nd September the Made in Ross gallery was packed with artists and their families when the winners of the Inspired by Wye art competition were revealed. Ross on Wye mayor,  Louis Stark presented prizes in three categories to those artists whose work best evoked the river that runs by the town.
 
The Under 11 award went to 7 year old Nevaeh Bamborough for her beautiful view of the river Wye from Yat Rock. Titled “Grandad’s Home” the painting shows the river and in the distance her grandfather’s childhood house on Coppett Hill. The under 17 prize was awarded to 15-year-old Amelia Boyles for her painting “A View of the Wye”. Showing the famous scene of Ross as seen from the river, the judges particularly admired her use of colour and technical skill.

The Adult prize was given to Agnese Davies for her stunning life size sculpture of a kingfisher made using needle felting technique. The judges thought the detailing was exquisite and showed great skill and patience to achieve such realism. William Rossiter achieved Highly Commended for his beautifully lit photograph of a sleeping mallard duck.
 
Over 50 local artists entered the competition and the judges, all artists from Made in Ross, shortlisted to a final 18 before choosing the three winners. All the shortlisted works are on display in the Made in Ross gallery upstairs at the Market House until October 30th​​.
