The Maker Space

Wendy Reed

I enjoy photographing local landscapes with a particular interest in woodland and wildflowers, including bluebells, snowdrops, wild garlic and poppies and enjoy finding the best local places to capture their beauty through the seasons. I love atmospheric weather conditions, particularly mist, and try to convey in my images what I felt when I witnessed a beautiful scene or moment.

Tracy Westall-Reece

I create vibrant, handmade textile pieces rooted in modern patchwork and quality materials. Each work is carefully crafted to bring colour and joy to everyday life, balancing skilled craftsmanship with function, practicality, and thoughtful design. Alongside this, I teach workshops from beginner level, supporting others in discovering their own joy in creating and making with fabric.

This year sees the first Raku ceramics firing at Maker space... a dynamic and exciting spectacle not to be missed... red hot pots lifted straight from the kiln and plunged into waiting buckets of sawdust leaves and straw before being quenched in water and washed to reveal their glaze colours

Jess Bains-Lovering

I create embroidered artwork, using sustainable and ethical materials. I draw my designs, carefully digitise them, then use my embroidery machine to make them. This collection is inspired by the animals, plants, and anachronistic objects found in and around the Thames river. My artworks can be hung up, or sewn onto clothing and worn, as they are fully washable.

Hannah Skalleberg

I am a Swedish-American artist living in the Chilterns, creating feel-good art in oils, acrylics, and the occasional mixed media. I am inspired by Western-Americana heritage and soul, English countryside living, and Scandinavian design to produce storied, richly textured paintings, described as warm, expressive pieces made to bring beauty, character, and joy into everyday spaces.

Fatmagul Aaltonen

My glass is based on texture and definition with many overlapping layers filled with small glass particles. I prefer to work with transparent glass, which sparkles with light; either on a windowsill reflecting the daylight or on a mental piece twinkling with candlelight. Main influences are the Chilterns where I live and the Mediterranean sea, where I come from.

Clare Davis

My illustrations are inspired by graphic design and mythical stories, translated through bold colour, simple forms, and hand-made texture. I create bodies of work that have a warm, narrative and slightly imperfect, often rooted in printmaking with TetraPak and paper stencils.

Becky Paton

I create large mosaics for the home, small mosaics for the garden and smaller mosaics to wear.

Andrea Wicks

Studio made pottery for the home focusing on functionality, form, texture & detail. Colour is key, paired with design twists to create individual pieces. I am particularly influenced by colour and textural themes from both fashion and nature, taking inspiration from whatever last caught my eye. Many of my pieces compliment each other and can be displayed together.

Amy Surman

My jewellery is inspired by my love of the outdoors and exploring jewellery processes. Each piece is made to be worn and lived in. I work primarily in silver, with touches of gold and gemstones. Alongside my handmade range, I offer a bespoke remodel service, transforming sentimental pieces into something new through sustainably minded craftsmanship and techniques.
