Craft and accessories by leading artists and craftspeople

Sladers Yard is a private art gallery dedicated to exhibiting and selling contemporary British art, handmade furniture and designer craft by leading artists, designers and makers. The gallery presents a high quality changing programme of selling exhibitions throughout the year. By buying artwork at Sladers Yard you support and provide a living for some of the most talented artists and makers working today. Between exhibitions we represent artists, often holding  their paintings in stock and where appropriate we take and orchestrate commissions.  

‘Sladers Yard in Bridport, a gallery increasingly celebrated for its spirited showing of contemporary British art, furniture and craft…’ Andrew Lambirth, The Spectator 2014

The changing exhibitions are accompanied by an ongoing and continuously renewed exhibitions of craft and accessories including ceramics, sculpture, jewellery, glassware, leather and textiles by leading British designer craftspeople. Housed in an historic Georgian rope warehouse, with pillared galleries and flower-filled courtyard, it is five minutes walk from the beach and harbour in West Bay, Dorset.

The award-winning Sladers Yard Licensed Café is open serving delicious food every day throughout the year. Regular and varied live evening events with dinners are a highlight. The venue is also available for catered private parties,  weddings and celebrations.

‘This artist-owned gallery, situated in an 18th century warehouse near the harbour, has become a focal point for the county’s creatives since it opened in 2006.’ FT 2011

‘An idyllic gallery in West Bay… Everything looks exciting in the sunlight that floods in, especially [Petter Southall’s] pieces whose generous curves seem to have come straight out of the boat yard.’ Paul Atterbury (Antiques Roadshow) in BBC Homes & Antiques ‘Antiques of the Future’

‘Bridport and West Bay, the place that probably set the whole Dorset art-scene off back in the Noughties… The place that has set the pace here is Sladers Yard. Their series of immaculately curated solo shows by the region’s leading artists and crafts people are held almost all the year round, and complemented by regular top-notch jazz concerts, poetry events and a terrific restaurant.’  Nicholas Usherwood, Galleries Magazine July 2015

‘There is a growing and loyal following for Sladers’ inventive, exciting and uplifting presentation of exceptional art and craft in a space that is in tune with, and celebrates, its environment.’ Coast magazine 2015

‘This splendid gallery… Its unreconstructed corn-scented timber interior makes an elegant setting…’ The Week

‘Simple and beautiful’ Mary Miers, Country Life
