Hagstone is a multi-arts collective, found in Midsummer that works with under represented art forms and under represented artists that are located in quiet corners of the Midlands.

We invite you in to a world where creativity isn’t measured and where art isn’t hierarchical.

The Collective is curated by Anna Roberts-Finn and Hannah Bigley, has a core of founding members, and will be opening for new members in 2026. If you are interested in joining, email hagstonecollective@gmail.com

OPEN CALL:
GATHERED HANDS

A GROUP EXHIBITION IN COLLABORATION WITH THE NOTSWOLDS SUMMER MAKERS MARKET. WE ARE LOOKING FOR NON DIGITAL ART WORK EXPLORING FOLK LORE, HANDS, GATHERING, TEXTURE, NATURE AND CRAFT MADE BY ARTISTS IN THE NOTSWOLDS REGION.

DEADLINE 3.4.26

LEARN MORE & APPLY

The exhibition will be running and open to the public from Claire Langley Interiors, as part of The Notswolds Summer Makers Market, 19-28 June 2026. Each artist will be required to take part in the install and take down two days before and after the festival dates.

Alongside the exhibition, each artist will be provided with the opportunity to sell prints and small wares on a shared table, host workshops/talks/demonstrations, and will be featured on The Notswolds website.

We are prioritising already created pieces due to the limited time frame of this event, but welcome concepts for pieces that are similar to already existing work, or will be finished with a quick turnaround.

The Hags

✺ ANNA ROBERTS-FINN ✺

CURATOR
As a disabled, queer and neurodivergent artist, Roberts-Finn’s work is rooted in personal and communal lived experience. They approach art-making as playful, spiritual process. One that resists productivity culture and honours their Sick body’s pace.
Through layered mark-making, sound, gesture, and research, they investigate how creativity can hold what words cannot: the shapes of grief, loss, neglect and the messiness of survival,healing,living.
✺ EMMA BRITTEN ✺

FOUNDING MEMBER
Emma is an Illustrator whose work captures the magic of the natural world and the joy of everyday moments. Emma blends her love for the outdoors with her passion for creativity, crafting illustrations that evoke nostalgia, wonder and a deep connection to nature.

✺ ROSIE AND RAMONA ✺

FOUNDING MEMBERS
Rosie has been an artist her whole life but only had the confidence to do anything with it when she had her first child Ramona. She's since had another daughter and together they create, illustrate, print and doodle on any medium they can get their hands on.
✺ RUTH HUDSON ✺

FOUNDING MEMBER
After studying Fine Art, English Literature and History of Art at Newcastle University, Ruth went on to follow several different career paths before finally deciding to focus on her artistic practice. Ruth is an experimental printmaker and painter, offering subtle forms of social commentary within her work, which is often inspired by tales found within Greek mythology.
