About us
The artists George Frederic and Mary Watts moved from London to their new house and studio, Limnerslease in the Surrey village of Compton in 1891. Over the next 13 years, they founded a remarkable Arts and Crafts complex, known today as Watts Gallery – Artists’ Village.
The Artists’ Village became the heart of George and Mary’s Art for All vision. Mary welcomed local villagers to clay modelling classes to decorate Watts Chapel. A pottery business, a hostel for apprentice potters and Watts Gallery followed. In this way, they sought to provide work for local people and to make art more approachable for all.
Today, Watts Gallery – Artists’ Village seeks to uphold their Art for all vision to provide a gateway for inspiration, learning, creating and engaging with art.
