Purple Pie Gallery is taking a little break throughout August while we prepare for our Autumn Exhibition.
We'll be back from September, with the gallery open every Saturday, 12–5pm.
We can't wait to welcome you back.
At Purple Pie
"The latest exhibitions, workshops, artist opportunities and life at the gallery."
From Gallery Walls to Forever Homes.
One of the best parts of running Purple Pie is seeing artwork leave the gallery and begin a new story.
During August, we’ll be carefully wrapping and delivering pieces from the Summer Exhibition to their new homes, while our artists collect the work that has been part of the show.
A huge thank you to everyone who visited, supported our artists and took a piece of Purple Pie home.
A New Chapter at Kindred
There’s exciting change happening at our Kindred Wine Bar space.
We’ve been lucky enough to expand the wall space, creating even more room to showcase original artwork from the Purple Pie artist portfolio.
At the beginning of August, we’ll be refreshing the exhibition with new work from different artists, bringing a fresh collection of paintings into this beautiful venue.
We’ve already had three pieces sold from the Kindred wall — which is such an exciting step for our artists.
Keep an eye out for upcoming Meet the Artist evenings where you can discover the stories behind the artwork and meet the creatives behind the pieces.
Coming Soon
There’s always something creative happening at Purple Pie.
Creativity doesn’t stop when you leave the gallery. At Purple Pie, we love creating opportunities for people to explore their own artistic journey, whether you’re picking up a paintbrush for the first time or looking to develop your skills further.
This autumn, we’ll be bringing more creative experiences to the gallery and studio, including beginner-friendly painting workshops and personalised one-to-one tuition.
Whether you’re looking to try something new, build confidence with acrylics, or spend some dedicated time developing your own style, there’s something creative waiting for you.
Keep an eye out for upcoming dates and new workshops coming soon.
Looking for a more personal approach to your creativity? My one-to-one painting sessions offer a relaxed and supportive space where we can focus on your individual style, build confidence and explore your ideas at your own pace.
Working with acrylics on canvas, we can develop your techniques, experiment with colour, composition and brushwork, and help you discover what makes your artwork uniquely yours.
Sessions take place in my home studio, a creative space packed with materials, inspiration and (probably!) more art supplies than I'll ever need! You're welcome to bring your own materials, or make yourself at home and use everything available in the studio.
Whether you're a complete beginner, returning to art after a break, or looking to develop your existing skills, each session is tailored to you and your creative journey.
Lessons are arranged at a time that suits us both, with the option of booking a single session or a series of lessons to support your artistic development. Get in touch to chat about your goals, and together we'll create a plan that works for you.
Discover the beauty of wildlife through paint in this relaxed and welcoming three-week course. Whether you've never picked up a paintbrush before or you're looking to build confidence with acrylics, you'll learn the techniques needed to create expressive wildlife artwork in a friendly, supportive environment.
Together we'll explore how to sketch animals using simple shapes, understand colour mixing, develop painting techniques and bring wildlife to life with acrylics. Each week you'll build on new skills, gaining confidence as you create a series of studies before completing your own wildlife-inspired painting.
Over three weeks you'll learn:
Drawing wildlife using simple step-by-step techniques
How to use acrylic paints with confidence
Colour mixing and expressive painting techniques
Creating light, shadow and texture
Building a painting from sketch to finished artwork

A new project is taking shape this summer...
