Upcoming Exhibitions – Autumn 2025
We’re thrilled to announce a series of exciting events and exhibitions coming up over the next few months. From local studio trails to regional showcases, you’ll have several opportunities to meet the artists behind Seaweed Studio K+M and explore an incredible variety of handmade crafts and art forms.
Viewing by appointment too at my Cabin. I just need enough notice to make sure I am available and to make the Cabin “visitor friendly”…i.e. tidy up my workbench and Cabin floor.
Restless – Ground Gallery, Southampton

We’re delighted to be part of Restless: An Exhibition on Burnout, Stillness, and the Inner Pulse — a group exhibition that explores the tension between overstimulation and silence, and asks what happens when we stop, listen inward, and allow stillness to speak.
This international show brings together artists from Israel, Chile, Ukraine, the UK, Russia, Türkiye, Switzerland and beyond, working across visual art, installation, and text.
This year’s exhibiting artists include:
🎨 Kim Batterbury of Seaweed Studio K+M and 19 others.

✨ Darico Hasaya — multidisciplinary artist, curator, and filmmaker
✨ Aycan Erinsel Özistek — director of Gallery Grounds
