点评:A real hidden gem! My sisters and I popped in, anticipating spending an hour looking around the gallery, three hours later, we had to leave as we had run out of time!
We visited to see the works of Norman Cornish, and were pleasantly suprised to find so many originals and prints on display alongside a couple of interesting video's and a reconstruction of his studio.
The Tisa Hess exhibition on the upper floor is well worth a visit. The Prussion born artist's work gives an insight to the life in the Durham Coalfields in the 1930's.
In addition to these two artists, there are many other great works on display by local artists.
A big thank you to Sue, the artist we met in the Makers Room and all the staff at the gallery who told us so much about the artists/works on display and made us feel very welcome.
I will definitely visit again next time I am in the area.

我们参观了诺曼·康沃尔的作品,惊喜地发现展出了如此多的原作和版画,还有几段有趣的视频和他工作室的复原。
楼上的蒂萨·赫斯展览非常值得一看。这位出生于普鲁士的艺术家的作品让我们得以一窥20世纪30年代达勒姆煤田的生活。
除了这两位艺术家的作品外,这里还有许多其他当地艺术家的优秀作品展出。
非常感谢我们在“创客室”遇到的艺术家苏,以及画廊的所有工作人员,他们向我们详细介绍了参展艺术家和作品,让我们感到宾至如归。
下次我再来这里,一定会再来的。
