Corfe Castle, Dorset · Since 2002
An artist-led gallery in the heart of Purbeck
A small co-operative showing ceramics, painting, sculpture, textiles, glass, jewellery and photography, made by local artists, most of whom have studios on site.
Work from the gallery
Our work is individually created and produced by the artists themselves, generally as one-off pieces or limited editions rather than mass-produced items.
About us
A co-operative of Purbeck makers, in the old milk depot
The Boilerhouse Gallery has been run by its artist members since 2002. You will find us opposite Corfe Castle railway station at Sandy Hill Studios, a growing group of artist workshops with views of the castle ruins.
On show and for sale: cards, ceramics, glass, jewellery, paintings, photography, prints, sculpture, stone, textiles and wood. Most of us also take commissions, and there is usually an artist on hand to talk about the work.
