About
Inspired by the lush local hedgerows, Torbay's rich Agatha Christie heritage, and the historic gardens of Torre Abbey, Poison Garden: Healing or Deadly brings together new works from the Artizan Collective Studio Artists.
This multi-disciplinary exhibition explores the intriguing duality of the plant world—examining flora as both life-saving medicine and lethal toxin. Through a varied display of paintings, ceramics, printmaking, photography, and sculptural installations, the artists invite visitors into a cultivated space where beauty meets quiet unease and nature's raw power takes centre stage.
Exhibition Highlights
• Local Inspiration: Deeply rooted in Torbay's flora, folklore, and local history.
• Diverse Media: Features fine art paintings, handcrafted ceramics, detailed printmaking, photography, and immersive installations.
• Open Access: Free admission throughout the run, welcoming art lovers, nature enthusiasts, and curious visitors alike.
• Workshops: with Hannah Taylor and Olya Baklan during the exhibition:
Fun with Clay: 13th/20th/27th September and 4th October 9.45 - 12.45 £30
Botanical Miniatures: 13th/20th/27th September and 4th October 13.30 - 16.00 £45
