Jill Welham: Artist/Printmaker/Photographer

NEWS AND EVENTS

We are currently relocating our home and business to the Highlands of Scotland. This is the start of an exciting new chapter for us and we're excited to see what comes next. During the relocation we will be unable to access any artworks as they will be kept in secure storage until they can be delivered to our new location. This process could take several months until we find a new location and property. Our Etsy shop will be closed until the relocation is complete. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience. We will still be able to receive and reply to direct emails so if you do need any assistance please do email us and we will reply as soon as possible.
