We took a break after the pandemic but we’re back!

As a venue on the Wivenhoe Art Trail November 13-15th 2026 we’ll be showing the work of 5 local artists and then from 20th November - 20th December, the lovely Christmas Cornucopia will return with a mixed exhibition of local and national artists and makers. With painting, printmaking, ceramics, photography, textiles and contemporary craft, the exhibition brings together returning Shipyard Studios favourites alongside exciting new exhibitors. Watch this space…..

Shipyard Studios is an established pop-up gallery on the redeveloped Cooks Shipyard site in Wivenhoe on the River Colne in Essex.

Abi Concannon has housed regular successful pop-up exhibitions since 2011 at Keel House, one of the live/work units in the development. Shipyard Studios is proud to be a significant part of the artistic hub that has naturally emerged in the Wivenhoe community and the semi-domestic setting provides a unique opportunity to view work in an informal environment.

The Christmas Cornucopia are hugely successful annual exhibitions and a highlight of the Wivenhoe Calendar. We seek the highest quality work from artists and makers, both locally and across the UK and ensure a broad price range to meet all needs.
