SHREWSBURY MARKET HALL

Shrewsbury’s Market Hall has become a haven for a growing colony of artists and handcrafters who have turned a large part of the market’s upper floor into a creative quarter.

 

On the gallery level you’ll find artists and designer-makers at work including Rosie Read, Karen Duffy, Brigitta Shuker (Studio Yi) and Alison Staples (Romy Design). The Makery is a collaboration of Shropshire artists and jewellery designers featuring Kate Johnston of Coppermoss Jewellery and Annalin Owen of Annalin Makes and a mini gallery, featuring guest artists.

 

Easthope Studio showcases the work of jewellery designer Harriet Marshall and other local makers and artists.

 

Overlooking the gallery a giant mural, by the Shrewsbury-based international artist Matt Sewell depicts a rare American black-crowned heron that mysteriously set up home in the town’s Quarry Park Dingle for several months in 2017. Matt has also created a stunning mural in market wine bar Petitglou, depicting a vineyard in moonlight
