- BronzesWhite Sails currently exhibits bronze sculpture by leading local artists. Each sculpture is originally produced in chavant clay from which a mould is taken to cast the finished work either in Cold Cast or Solid Bronze. The castings are produced locally in Devon and each bronze is hand-finished and polished.
- CarvingsHand carved from albesia wood, in Indonesia. Because of natural variations in materials, no two pieces are identical and images are for information only.
- CeramicsWhite Sails is excited to exhibit the delicate, vibrant ceramics of Faye Mayo alongside the beautiful nature-based ceramics of Michelle Hall. Our selection of these artists’ smaller pieces changes from day to day, so please contact the gallery and we will be happy to send photos of the work currently available for purchase.
- Lighting & GlassInka Gabriel is a maker of contemporary lights based in the South Hams. Born in Cologne, Germany, she successfully completed an apprenticeship in glazing, becoming responsible for designing and completing work on leaded lights, lamps and sandblasting. In 1989, she came to London to join The Stained-Glass Shop in Wandsworth, concentrating on leaded light production, and she has worked with glass ever since. A move to Devon in 1992 to start her family prompted a new direction for her work. Her lamps are set on solid wooden bases and made in white opaque or opalescent glass, with clear simple lines. Glass for the lights may be sourced from recycled Edwardian and Victorian pieces and sometimes hand-blown glass is used. Inka works with the traditional copper foiling technique and includes other small areas of natural and man-made materials in her designs, fusing the man-made and natural. Each light is unique, as, even where designs are repeated, colours and materials are never the same.
