Studio 36

The initial impact of entering Studio 36 is a rich, visual experience. It is a personal and stimulating world where art runs riot through the whole house, along corridors and up walls. There seems to be no division between thinking and seeing.Studio 36, in the heart of St Leonard’s, Exeter was established by Veronica Gosling following her relocation to Devon from The Forest of Dean where she instituted the Barn at Hay Farm Gallery. The description of that as “a secret special place that people find and then want to bring their friends” has been transposed to Studio 36 which now has some of the same reputation.In addition there is a wild sculpture garden with many objects hanging from trees, including a washing line, bicycles and people.Since Gallery 36 has become Studio 36 more emphasis and space both indoors and outdoors has been given to Veronica’s work.
