Artists at Chichester’s Artisans Gallery on North Street are promising Christmas treasures.

Spokeswoman Mim McCann said the artists offer “wonderful gifts to warm hearts and homes. Unique and individual gifts can be found here, in our warm and friendly gallery with stunning handmade work to gift to loved ones or a special treat for yourself. Twenty-four local painters, jewellers, ceramicists, sculptors, glass and textile creatives look forward to your visit.

“Handmade gifts, big or small, carry a special kind of warmth. In a world of fast-paced shopping, these personal touches remind us of the beauty in slowing down and gifting something created with care to delight and inspire others. Each handmade gift reflects the care, creativity, and togetherness at the heart of all winter celebrations.”

You can discover “festive glass decorations of snowmen, mistletoe or Christmas trees; vibrant decorated lamps; imaginative acrylic landscapes, oil and watercolour paintings of birds, cats, flowers, fruit and veg, the ocean, abstract textures and intricate detailed collage; an array of jewellery adorned with a bounty of gems, elegant tactile pottery and intricate ceramic sculptures of seals or torsos; charming patchwork chickens; reimagined bags giving an old jacket a new life; flights of birds crafted in metal — each piece carries the magic of imagination, making every gift extra special.

“Gift vouchers are available for the amount of your choice to purchase from the gallery and online www.artisangallerychichester.com and are valid for 6 months from purchase date. The launch of gift vouchers has been a great option set up this autumn helping visitors who cannot decide or imagine the best gift to choose.
