    Second Hand
    An exhibition of four artists working with inherited and discarded materials.
    Celia Pym, Tilly Shiner, Jane Stewart, and Shane Waltener.
    Thursday 2nd April - Saturday 30th May. 2026.

    Second Hand brings together four artists who work with materials that have lived other lives. Working with garments, textiles, and found objects, each artist uses what is worn, handled, discarded, and redistributed.

    Using sculpture, textile, and collage, the artists in our Second Hand exhibition work with old materials to create new artworks, experimenting with techniques passed down through generations. Clothes are mended, reworked, and reassembled; objects are recreated rather than discarded.
