Steve Batty
I love colour, especially in my acrylic paintings. I enjoy working not only with acrylics but also with pastel pencils and collage. My inspirations in painting come from my travels and the vehicles involved in travelling.
Shirley Smith
Through ceramics, I share my love of the natural world. Inspired by scuba diving, I create marine-themed functional pieces celebrating vibrant sea life, alongside bird totems reflecting Britain’s garden species. Fired to durable stoneware, my hand-built forms use specialist clays and artisanal glazes, incorporating small animal sculptures that invite tactile, visual engagement with nature.
Sally Castle
I am a printmaker and illustrator with a particular interest in hand lettering, my most recent book is Empress Matilda and I regularly illustrate poetry book covers. In 2025 my prints and drawings were selected for the Society of Graphic Fine Arts exhibition at the Mall Galleries, the Royal West of England Open exhibition and Ironbridge Print competition.
