In simple terms, Artful is a studio and gallery shop based in Hexham in Northumberland - but there is much more to us than that.
Our mission at Artful is to make a variety of art accessible and affordable to as many people as possible.
At Artful, our customers are right at the top of our agenda. Artful is a browser's paradise and a shopper's dream. It is comfortable and welcoming, so that once you've visited, you will want to return time after time.
Artful provides a platform for the talent of artists from the North East of England; and the key to Artful's success is the passion, the skill and the inspiration that can be seen in the work of our carefully selected featured artists.
The driving force behind the Artful brand is Kelly Morgan, a versatile and adventurous artist, who paints, draws, works with glass and creates what are arguably the quirkiest greetings cards in the North East of England.
Ultimately, Artful is both a concept and an ideal. You can choose to become part of it, as an artist, a browser or a customer and we will welcome you in.
Norham Castle
Website
nr Berwick Upon Tweed
Commanding a vital ford over the River Tweed, Norham was one of the strongest of the border castles, and the most often attacked by the Scots. Besieged at least 13 times - once for nearly a year by Robert Bruce - it was called 'the most dangerous and adventurous place in the country'. But even its powerful 12th-century keep and massive towered bailey walls could not resist James IV's heavy cannon, and it fell to him in 1513, shortly before his defeat at Flodden. The extensive 16th-century rebuilding which followed, adapting the fortress for its own artillery, is still clearly traceable.
