Stuart Feurtado

My work is wide ranging and inspired by both manmade and natural forms and colours. I love the feeling of the creative processes involved in producing a work of art, and I strive to make my photographs just that, art. Seeking out interesting shapes, views, wildlife, I take care in making my images engaging.

Sarah Abell

My pieces are made individually by hand.
pots from stoneware clay,
glazes from ground up rock and metal oxides,
beads from polymer clay.
I enjoy developing my own glaze recipes and create unusual pots with original, tactile surfaces.
I roll the beads for my jewellery from patterns I create in colourful polymer clay which is light and easy to wear.

Natasha Samasuwo

Inspired by nature & wanderlust, my work is an intuitive exploration of marks and textures. I have a background in Print Design, which influences my process & shaped my deep passion for colour.
Favouring gouache & acrylics for contrast, I work in layers to create emotive abstracts & collages, mostly on paper & wood panel.

Maggie Farmer

I began printmaking when I retired from education and went on a course at Bucks College. I began to make etchings using the inspiration of the landscape, flowers and plants of the Yorkshire Dales where I grew up and then moved on to making collographs. I love the way that using different materials can add atmosphere to the print.

Karen Tomalin

I work with natural fabrics to create quilts and textile pictures.
I enjoy creating bed quilts and wall hangings, based on the vivid colours and forms found within nature. Some quilts are abstract, free form pieced, inspired by the German Expressionists, other works are more traditional based on geometric shapes often found in buildings and townscapes.
Animals are a passion of mine, I recreate them in my raw edge applique pictures.
Flowers and landscape lend themselves to pictures made from various fabric scraps and threads with intense machine stitching, a method known as stitch art. I love the texture.
All my work is bespoke and individually made with a domestic sewing machine.

Julie Bennett

I am an oil painter creating expressive portraits that feature iconic figures from music and art, including David Bowie and Frida Kahlo. My work explores longing, identity, and emotional connection through bold colour, layered paint, and gestural mark-making. Alongside original oil paintings, I produce more affordable limited edition prints.

Jill Chadwick

My passion for glass and colour started over 30 years ago and my work is continually evolving. My art is a representation of what I see in my mind rather than an exact image of what is in front of me and I love to explore the endless possibilities of working in glass. Happy to take commissions.

Jane Schofield

Jane Schofield is an artist who loves to experiment. She incorporates texture, metal leaf and spray effects into her work. She has collected over a thousand reference photos of trees in all shapes and sizes - they are the inspiration for her tree paintings and work on maps! Multiple layers create depth and she delights in interesting colour combinations.

Ian Austin

I am a nature photographer who specialises in wildlife and landscape images from around the UK.
My aim is to capture the beautiful scenery throughout the UK along with showcasing the fantastic wildlife that can be found and present them as stunning framed pictures, that invite the viewer to imagine being there.

Grant Forsyth

I make textural, recycled silver jewellery with gold accents and ethically sourced gems. I enjoy melting silver to create textures inspired by the country side around me. Namely using reticulation but other techniques do come into play. I also an award winning chain maker, making each link from scratch in a variety of styles and materials.

Gloria Pitt

I weave scarves and wraps in a studio in my garden. I use silk, fine wools, cotton and linen in my work which is inspired by the colours and textures I see in nature and architecture.

Diane Large

I mostly paint figuratively using acrylics and collage. My subject matter ranges from landscapes to still life and portraits. My history as a graphic designer/printmaker informs my painting. From art college in London to attending courses and workshops locally, I never stop learning. My work has been selected for The Society of Women Artists, The Royal Academy and Mall Galleries.

Deborah Black

I design and create contemporary 925 sterling silver, precious metal clay, copper and brass jewellery in a rustic boho style. I take my inspiration from nature from the countryside around me and coastal shores and many of my designs are based on my walks on the beach! I love adding unique textures to my work including fusing silver.

DONNA WHITE

My work is a dialogue between the technical discipline of my early photorealistic paintings and the emotive freedom of my later abstract works and sculptures. Throughout five decades of professional involvement—as an artist, educator, and judge—I have remained fascinated by the power of visual storytelling, to translate complex observation and personal experience into a compelling visual language.

Cath Baldwin

Cath has been creating handmade prints for over 20 years. She works across all printmaking disciplines but her current favourite way of working is colour reduction lino printing. Her work responds, often with humour, to the world around her and often reflects her wry observations about the way we choose to live.

Caroline Chilton

I create hand built animal sculptures in clay which are first to biscuit, this is when I add underglaze bringing to life the creature. It is then fired again to stoneware. My inspiration comes from the animals that live around us and with us.

Calina Lefter

“A big part of my inspiration comes from the natural world. I like to experiment with bold strokes, blurred lines, and dynamic colours to reflect movement, mood or memory. My favourite subjects are landscapes, forests, oceans or weather phenomena captured in the special moments of the day and witnesses of the progressive change of seasons, where time seems so dilated and almost absent.”

Angela Lenman

I have been enthralled by batik – wax resist - for over 40 years. I enjoy exploring the way the image slowly emerges through the application of alternate layers of hot wax and dye. Usually my paintings are figurative, my favourite theme being the fascinating buildings and people I come across on my travels.
