Five Go to Hay brings together five diverse artists for a one-week celebration of nature-inspired making. Working across wildlife art, ceramics, textiles, jewellery and willow, each explores the natural world through their own materials, processes and stories. This temporary gathering invites visitors to pause, look closely and discover pieces that resonate on a personal level. All artworks are available to buy.
