Wendy Nicholson

Whether working in textile art or paint, I am motivated by the desire to experiment and research with texture and colour and enjoy the interaction with the viewer.

Trudy Dredge

I view jewellery as wearable art. I like to bring shape, colour and story together using precious metal and gemstones. Creating something that is fun and sometimes a little quirky or classic but with a modern twist. Most of all I like to create pieces that can be gifted, worn and enjoyed for many years.

Susi London

I’m passionate about trees and their importance to our planet. Trees can grow to be amongst the largest and oldest living things on our Earth. They breathe life-giving oxygen into our atmosphere and without them we would perish. By painting trees I hope to share some of their beauty and significance with you.

Susan Horler

With an interest in both ceramics and glass, my experience with one feeds the other. In ceramics, I chiefly use sculptural and throwing techniques to explore historical and conservation art. With glass, I am exploring the wonders of heat work, in casting and fused glass, and Pate de Verre techniques.

Sue Carter

Nina O'Connell

Using found tools and veils of acrylic paint,I build layered surfaces that echo qualities in nature.Working with a limited palette,I create harmony through an expressive approach.Inspired by my dog walks in meadows,lanes and woodlands.I observe the complexity and beauty of evolving life within nature's overgrowth and undergrowth,capturing the evanescent rhythm of changing seasons.

Maria Meerstadt

The colours and shapes of life are the inspiration for my paintings.

Keith Clarke

Hand drawn pen and ink and watercolour urban sketching and house portraits. Views that evoke memories. I am inspired by the historic architecture and vernacular building styles that surround us in the beautiful Thames valley and beyond. What could I draw for you?

Julie Murray

I paint found moments from real life. Using oils, my realistic style captures the relationship between ambient interior light and shadow, and the ethereal quality they can give mundane objects. Ultimately I wish to invite the viewer to enjoy these beautiful, peaceful moments - happened on by chance - and that sit in plain sight every day.

Julia Coombes

I am a local jeweller and metal clay artist who creates unique, hand crafted, wearable designs. I blend traditional silversmithing techniques with sculptural work using silver metal clay. Inspired by the beauty of nature and the arts I love incorporating special textures, tiny elements and intricate hidden details that add charm and versatility to my creations.

Helen Ormerod

I am a ceramic artist living and working in Crowthorne. I make bowls and vases and am inspired by natural organic shapes which are incorporated in a range of outdoor sculptures.
My pottery is decorated with oxides, coloured slips and a variety of glazes. Everything is fired to 1260 degrees making it very hard wearing and frost proof.

David Wright
