The Garden Gallery at The Oxfordshire Museum, in Woodstock is a splendid venue for members of The Oxfordshire Craft Guild, who are displaying their wares there until January 4.

You will find the gallery beside the museum’s attractive little garden. All the goods on display are for sale, which makes it a superb place to discover unusual hand-crafted gifts that you will not find in the shops.

Those looking for hand-made jewellery will be delighted with Selma Stagg’s porcelain pieces. She works in porcelain because of its unique qualities of light weight and strength. Each porcelain stone in her work has been individually shaped and moulded, and burnished to achieve a smooth and tactile surface, then dried slowly and fired to a dense, hard non-porous finish.

If you need a gift for a young child, look out for the superb little romper suits, dresses and smocked sun caps created by Carole Hunt, from Wheatley. These garments are so beautifully worked they are hard to resist.

Sue Pearl has all manner of crazy hand-worked, stuffed toys on her stall, also bags of felt which contain everything you need to begin making similar toys yourself.

The muted autumnal colours that Alison Dupornex has used in her knitted scarves and jumpers are inspired. Few could pass this stall without wanting to reach out and touch these beautiful items. For those seeking brighter colours, look out for Judith Gussin’s silk scarves created in beautiful rainbows of translucent colour.

And if you are looking for a gift that will suit the person who thought they had everything look out for James C. Cochrane’s papier mâché animals. James used to work as a set designer, making props for the theatre, until he realised he had a talent for creating crazy animals using similar techniques. His three-dimensional, hand-made works express so much that few will be able to walk past his display without breaking into a smile. This is a remarkable exhibition, which brings together a selection of work created by a very talented group of Oxfordshire craftspeople. It is well worth a visit.
