Why join us?
Mary Watts employed many staff at both her home in Limnerslease and through her Compton Potters' Arts Guild which provided employment in the village of Compton until 1956. Mary had cottages built in Compton to house her employees and was passionate about supporting those who worked for and with her.
Today we continue Mary’s impact; Watts Gallery continues to grow but our people remain at the very heart of our organisation. Our staff and volunteers all share a passion for keeping the historical importance of George and Mary Watts life and work alive and working towards our mission of Art for All by All.
Our staff and volunteers enjoy a range of benefits:

Free admission to Watts Gallery - Artists' Village

Discounts in our Tea Shop and Shop

Flexible and supportive working environment

Tickets for friends and family

Working in an inspiring setting, surrounded by the beautiful Surrey countryside
