Emma Clegg

Emma Clegg is the co-founder and owner of The Stratford Gallery, which she runs with her husband, Howard. An accomplished ceramicist herself, she curates an international collection of painters, sculptors, and ceramists, with a special focus on contemporary Japanese works. She previously worked on a corporate art collection in London before relocating her gallery to the Cotswolds.

Personally, Emma is an artist whose work is inspired by the beauty of nature, particularly the indigenous flowers found in hedgerows. She was drawn to the Cotswolds from London by the areas natural landscape, a significant life change that influenced both her personal and professional direction. Her gallery philosophy emphasizes a calm, unpressured visitor experience.

Unique fact: Emma is not just a gallerist but also a practicing ceramicist whose personal art is inspired by nature.
