Celebrating the life and work of Veronica Gosling
To help the café prepare refreshments, it would be very helpful if you could let us know if you’re planning to come, and roughly how many in your party. Please RSVP to gallery36exeter@gmail.com.
Please feel very welcome to attend whether or not you RSVP – the reply is simply to help us plan quantities.
At Studio 36 anyone can explore what it means to be an artist.
‘This film shares the story of how this unique place came to be and the person who has shaped it’

The latest board has gone up today – thanks for all the submissions, especially 21st Exeter Scouts for their Chinese New Year – Year of The Horse pictures.
Veronica Gosling Memorial: A Sunday At The Studio – 17th May 2026
Plans are being made for an event here at the studio to celebrate Veronica’s life – more details to follow.
A group of Veronica’s family, friends and collaborators came together with the Studio Team on Saturday to share thoughts on her legacy.
A selection of works by Veronica Gosling.
Peter Farrie, a long time friend and member of the studio team said these words:
‘An extraordinary ‘artist’, Veronica was not always comfortable with that term and the air of pretentiousness that it can imply. She said to me once when asked how she would categorise herself simply that ‘I make things’.
Not always relying on conventional materials she would use whatever was around her, found items, leftovers.
Nothing was wasted, she instinctively had a sustainable mindset. Veronica was constantly encouraging others, interested in what we were doing, how we thought, what made us tick. This can be seen in the countless exhibitions and events she held at Studio 36 and the Community Board outside that she started in 2020 as a brilliant response to the Covid lockdown’
Today we have put up the new board with some of her work:
We would like to thank everyone for the generous donations made in memory of Veronica, both organisations are extremely grateful – the donation link has now closed but any further donations can be made direct via their websites:

With best wishes,
