Women Portraits

12 Sept - 23 Dec 2026

Women Portraits: Trades & Professions at Ceramic Gallery, Aberystwyth Arts Centre, follows a run at Gallery Oldham earlier in 2026. It arrives in Aberystwyth reshaped around ceramics and the enduring craft traditions of women across Wales, including the Welsh craft heritage of Basketry.

Through ornate ceramic vases and intricate papercuts, Charlotte constructs imagined portraits of women – identified not by their physical features, but by the tools of their trade, be it a basket-maker’s willow, a stethoscope, a telescope. From botanists and arborists to doctors and astronomers, the works honours female labour across generations and social classes.

Women Portraits

17 January - 9 May 2026

Women Portraits: Trades & Professions is a solo exhibition of works by Charlotte Hodes at Gallery Oldham. It celebrates the often-invisible contribution that women have made to many trades and professions that have hitherto been historically associated with men, while women have been personified as ideals within arts and culture, as muses or as objects of beauty. The portraits propose alternative representations of women identified through the tools associated with each specific trade or profession.
