Black Country Wood Turners exhibits at the Wolverhampton Art Gallery

Over the next few months (July 2025 – October 2025), the Black Country Woodturners are proud to be part of the “Come As You Really Are” exhibition at Wolverhampton Art Gallery.

Presented by Wolverhampton Art Gallery, Artangel, an award-winning artist (and Spider-Man enthusiast!) Hetain Patel

Come As You Really Are showcases hundreds of objects created or collected by hobbyists from across the Midlands and beyond. Alongside a brand-new film by Patel, the exhibition celebrates the creativity and individuality of people who dedicate their valuable time to pursuing passions outside of consumer-driven culture.

On display are unique handcrafted works loaned by hobbyists in diverse disciplines: knitters and needleworkers, woodturners and model makers, potters, painters and illustrators, costume and cosplay creators, model engineers, origami artists, and many more. You’ll also find fascinating collections – from vintage football programmes, kitchenalia, milk bottles, painted eggs, gnomes, and stones, to comics, action figures, and toys including Goo Jit Zu, Transformers, He-Man, and dollhouses!
