The Ipswich Art Workshop (IAW) is an open and welcoming hands-on workspace, supporting a variety of arts-based initiatives throughout the year.
The Workshop provides opportunities for creatives and art organisations to forge connections within community through a diverse range of innovative visual art projects.
We recently interviewed previous IAW artists who reflected on the Workshop’s impact on their creative journey, and the value of contributing to Ipswich’s vibrant creative community.

Soft Territories, an exhibition by photographic artists Sue Gordon and Mel Sinclair, explores the spaces where peace, stillness and quiet moments exist within both the natural world and our internal landscapes.

Through photography, mixed media and tactile processes, the artists reflect on the gentle pauses found in both physical and mental space—the moments where we slow down, notice, breathe and simply exist. The work draws inspiration from the textures, imperfections and organic qualities of the natural environment, incorporating materials such as rust, handmade paper and earth.

Together, the artists invite contemplation of quietness, connection and the beauty found in moments of stillness.
