About The Summerleaze Gallery

Summerleaze is situated in an exceptionally peaceful and beautiful corner of Wiltshire, yet within easy reach of London by road or rail (we are happy to meet anyone from a train at Tisbury). The studio is a converted farm building and the whole situation is good for learning and relaxation. Accommodation can be arranged in the nearby farmhouse. The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxed and the food mostly produced in the garden or farm.

We continue our close links with the NEAC which we value enormously. We keep the size of classes small which makes most of them suitable for all levels of ability, however a few of them require some experience and we make this clear in the description. If you would like more information or help in choosing, do telephone us.

The new gallery has made a huge differnce to life at Summerleaze. The extra space the light have been much enjoyed by all those attending courses and lectures. It has also proved an excellent exhibition space for contemporary painters and sculptors. Last autumn there was a joint exhibition of Paul MacDermot and Mark Coreth in early December.

The current exhibition is:
