Meet The Artists
Debbie Page
Debbie is a handbuilding potter; her main influences are Korean and Japanese pottery with their strong simple shapes. She specialises in Moon jars - spherical vessels inspired by the iconic Korean Moon Jar and tall vessels, Pails, with found wooden handles, influenced by Japanese pottery. She explores the possibilities arising from the combination of glaze and smoke working together- using raku, standard kiln and smoke firing techniques.
Jo Lillywhite
Joanne Lillywhite is a painter who is inspired by the landscape and woodlands of Oxfordshire and beyond. She loves to paint scenes with strong lines and perspective that draw the viewer in to the scene. She represents the world in an interesting and bold way, using varied marks and brushstrokes and heightened colours. Layers of colour make her paintings unique and striking.

Lizzie Christie-Miller
Lizzie has a passion for colour. Art for her is an enhancement of the space, a subliminal message creating a mood and is dependent on their relationship with the surroundings. She has been influenced by the work of William Croziers and Mary Fedden.
