Christmas Shopping special

Buy beautiful stationery, calendars and Christmas cards, including stunning artists cards made especially for The First Cut exhibition. Shop for unique, handmade jewellery by makers from the Manchester Jewellers' Network. And if you're looking for something really special, we're selling exclusive limited edition artworks by internationally acclaimed contemporary artists featured in The First Cut.

Paper art and hand made jewellery demonstrations

Andrew Singleton makes beautiful paper installations and is transforming our Atrium into an ice cave as part of The First Cut exhibition. He’ll be showing us all how to sculpt with paper, so come along and give it a try (5 – 7pm).

Drop in to meet leading jewellers from Manchester Jewellers Network, and see how they create their innovative work. Charlotte Verity is demonstrating small-scale glass blowing and Rebekah Anstess Binning is demonstrating bead making. Their stunning jewellery is currently available to commission and buy from the Gallery Shop.

Demonstrations at 5pm, 6pm, 7pm and 8pm in the Atrium
