I bought many items in the Spectrum over the last 5 years…read more I liked it when a friendly lady Sue worked here. These days I seldom go. I think I bought what I wanted. I still like many of the paintings, the black crow (pottery) - and the big rings. My partner bought a ring here in December last year. It was a birthday present for his mother. When she put the ring on, the stone came off. She wanted to change the ring - or to have it repaired by the people in the Spectrum. The unfriendly woman working in the shop on that day said she should put super glue on the ring herself. Not very good service really. I am disappointed now - even though I still like many of the items there.

There are also some installations in smaller rooms. Mixtures of ceramics and paintings mostly. The shop reminds me of a national trust shop, with good quality local craft gifts and cards-I bought quite a lot! The cafe is in the conservatory area, selling cream teas, cakes and wines. No large meals served here. You can sit on the benches outside which is nice on a sunny day. In the grounds there is a small theatre and short woodland walk. Worth popping in for an hour.

I heard about Bear Steps Art Gallery as a result of seeing the advertisement for an exhibition of a…read morelocal artist who I'm connected with on Face Book. Fancying a trip somewhere new for my day off, I decided to go along and visit Shrewsbury, catching her exhibition at the same time. The gallery is tucked away in an idyllic little courtyard, near to a church, and next to Bear Steps Cafe. It's in an old building situated over two stories with 3 open plan rooms and the reception area. It's full of character and is very light with a great feeling of space. The exhibition I was going to see took up a little over two thirds of the space, with another equally interesting exhibition upstairs in the furthest room. From the looks of their website, they have local exhibitions on all the time, so with free entry, it's worth popping along if you in the area and seeing what's currently on show.

We are holding another exhibition this Spring and really look forward to welcoming more visitors. There is a cafe next door, so it's ideal for those wanting a spot of lunch or refreshments and a look around some original and local artists work. A lovely little secret that is easily missed but well worth seeking out!

I love this little art gallery shop. It's all original paintings and other art, handmade items like…read morejewellery, decorative items, gifts, etc. The paintings vary in style, but there does seem to be an overabundance of fairy-related artwork. Someone must be a fairy fan. There is quite a variety of media as well, from paintings to drawings to collage art. The quality of this art is excellent, so I have no doubt that the prices are good for what you are getting. But remember, you're buying art, so it's not going to be cheap.

A really good range of art and beautiful unique handmade crafts (a lot on my wish list!) and we found something in our budget that we can both enjoy for ever. A really lovely visit - could easily have stayed all day! We'll be visiting again as soon an possible. Worth noting - easy parking and public loo facilities in the complex which was a useful and welcome bonus.
