Angela Harding
Angela Harding works from her rural studio in the Rutland countryside. Her work explores the wildlife that she finds within the landscape through a mixture of linocut and screen print techniques. Often incorporating an implied narrative, her prints are a pathway through the British hills, valleys, and coastlines.
Mark Hearld
Mark is one of the UK’s most imaginative artists. Working in a variety of mediums his pieces are fun, inventive and brilliantly colourful.
Owl Watching is his latest screen print in a limited edition of 95 and hangs merrily in the gallery alongside ‘Goose’ a farmyard foray by Mark…
Simon Hubert
Simons recent porcelain pots made in Hay-on-Wye remain on a small intimate scale designed to fit into the hand and have a function or a number of uses. The Gallery is hosting a wide selection of Simons new work in porcelain. Each piece is unique - from his tiny thrown tapering cylinders glazed in a combination of honey and deep red brown to his equisite moon vases.
Richard Studer - Printmaker / Wood Engraver
In 2012 he began training in printmaking at The Sydney Nolan Trust under Mike Clements and Gini Wade and is currently mentored by Blaze Cyan RE, SWE. The global pandemic and the closure of theatres saw him shift focus onto his printmaking practice and his work as a curator lead to the opening of his own gallery in Presteigne featuring works from printmakers and ceramacists from across the UK. A ruptured appendix in November 2023 offered the time and opportunity to re-evaluate his studio practice and focus on a new technique and a passion for wood engraving was born. Richard now works almost exclusively in this medium and his large scale multiblock print ‘An Engraver’s Alphabet - Endangered and Extinct’ completed in autumn 2024 launched his career as an engraver. In the last 12 months he has exhibited his engravings with The Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers, The Society of Wood Engravers, The Royal West of England Academy International Bienniel ‘Paper Works’, Printfest, Ironbridge Fine Arts, MiniPrint Wales in association with The Royal Cambrian Acadaemy, The Tarpey Gallery 2025 open and Hay Castle with a solo exhibition running as part of his tenure as their Printmaker in Focus.
Exhibitions already in the diary for early 2026 include The Society of Wood Engravers 88th Annual Exhibition at Bankside Gallery London.

Morston Fox, the first new print in our set depicts the quay at Morston in Norfolk and furtive fox watching a lone walker and his dog. The second print Church Cottage Morston follows the scene further to the far shore and the distinctive shape of All Saints church where more dog walkers reflect Angela’s love whippets. In the final print in the series Angela looks further to the shore line at Blakeney and the distinctive sight of avocets making their way along the coastline.
