Artist profiles and statements
Abby Filer
Abby’s inspiration comes from a combination of her love of the bold and colourful 1960’s design era combined with childhood memories of growing up in the picturesque surroundings of Summerseat, Lancashire.
Angie Mehew
Ann Catrin Evans
Honest craftsmanship & functionality combine in a celebration of Welsh heritage mixed with a paired back timeless aesthetic. A precise sort of understatement combined with exceptional craft, and a quiet determination to make pieces that are both beautiful and useful. Ann’s work is like that of an alchemist—the ‘non precious’ becomes precious, an old piece of iron becomes an exquisite piece of jewellery. Whether working in forged steel or copper, the ordinary becomes the extraordinary in Ann’s hands.
Carla Pownall
Stoneware Pottery – Functional
I make a variety of tableware, high-fired to 1260 degrees C. The glaze is drawn into the surface of the pot which, at that temperature, is vitrified in that it becomes ovenproof as well as dish-washer proof.
Elin Crowley
Ellymental
‘EllyMental Jewellery’ is the transformation of Elly’s little illustrations into lovingly and meticulously hand crafted pieces of jewellery.
Elly is inspired by designs based on her own fervent interest in kitsch nostalgia, victoriana and animals. She incorporates her drawings with found ephemera such as 1950’s books, Victorian newspapers and delicate home-made papers. Items are multi-layered with metal and coated with resin to create a strong and robust end piece.
Gary Edwards
Heather Bilsby
Irene & Edith
I find therapy and personal healing while I create my work, so to capture, display and heighten imperfections helps me process what’s happening in reality. Also, to celebrate the faults, downfalls and all of those occasions we’ve picked ourselves back up I find exceptionally beautiful. With a nod to the Japanese practice of Kintsugi, in repairing broken pottery with liquid gold I trim my work or highlight patterns through the glaze with gold lustre celebrating uniqueness and individuality.
Jenifer Wall
Jo Williams
I work with clay because of its utterly raw quality as a material. I dig it out of the beach, field or mountainside and use it almost immediately and that’s it. I feel connected to it like it’s so familiar. When I’m outside, I feel like I’m connected to the landscape so I’m drawn to mirroring that when I use wet clay. It’s so important for me to be able to make marks in the clay, spontaneously.
I use minerals and rocks to colour and create contrast in my work. I also love the vast possibilities that making bottles can present. They hold liquids, then flowers and grasses which create a beautiful, quiet still life.
Inner Finn
With a background in design and engineering, it was a five-month residency in Finland that prompted Julie to start her own ceramic design studio. She has always been drawn to natural, organic forms but the particular beauty and stillness of the Finnish winter landscape, with its bare branches and mounds of snow, affected her deeply and has continued to inform her creative vision ever since.
This desire to capture quietness, offering a moment of stillness amongst the bustle and noise of modern living, characterizes Julie’s work. In both her sculptural and functional pieces, she explores the tension of opposites: the interplay between control and chance, between soft form and hard materials and between fleeting movement and stillness.
Today, Julie’s work concentrates on slip casting, a technique that enables her to combine her technical skills with those of the sculptor and ceramicist, completing each step of the production process by hand.
Leoma Drew
Lindsey Kennedy
Originally, I trained as a jeweller and silversmith at Birmingham School of Jewellery. About fifteen years ago I was asked to lead an art project in a primary school as part of an artist in residence programme. The medium was to be mosaic, and that was when I was captivated and moved from metalwork to using glass and ceramic tiles. My techniques have grown out of my early gem-setting skills, using small pieces of coloured stained glass, glass tiles and drops and large quantities of mirror tiles to create decorative embellished two-dimensional surfaces.
Inspiration for my mosaic designs comes from my interests in East European and historic embroidered textiles, where brightly coloured silks are stitched against dark backgrounds. From this comes my use of brightly coloured glass set within black grout. It creates an additional graphic line around the tiles.
Recent work has focused on what I describe as mosaic floristry, using the garden as my inspiration, with sinuous trailing lines and floral shapes bursting with colour. A commission to create a series of floral garden stakes to decorate a garden to be opened to the public led me to create and extend my garden series, everlasting flowers bringing colour to a border or conservatory.
Lisa Reeve
Liz Toole
All of Liz’s screen prints and linocuts are designed and hand printed by her using specialized printmaking papers. Colour plays a huge part in Liz’s work, she has been known to test print 60 different colour combinations for a two colour screenprint, waiting for that eureka moment.
Lucy Copleston
I view jewellery as a magical element in life, as did people of the ancient world, and as an enduring energy reaching beyond our material existence. The undulating linear decorations used in many of my designs are inspired by the childhood experience of living beside a small river in rural Suffolk, and the familiar sight of shallow water rippling over pebbles in sunlight. Landscape contributes to my vision through an awareness of land mass balanced against sky, the perspective of diminishing rural roads and the sculptural statement of trees. I studied for an MA in silversmithing at the Royal College of Art, London, and graduated in 1970. Design has always been the pivotal dictate of my work: my sketchbooks are used to ‘think on paper’ and ideas further developed and expanded into small watercolour paintings.
Since 1981 I have lived and worked in the Vale of Clwyd surrounded by rural beauty and with expansive views of the hills”.
Ruth Green
Ruth trained as a textile designer in Liverpool and Birmingham, after which she worked as a freelance designer and illustrator. Clients have included Ikea, Sainsbury’s, Waterstones and Marks and Spencer. She has worked extensively with Tate, writing and illustrating 3 children’s books and a designing a range of toys, clothes and tableware. Her prints focus on plants, gardens and animals with a nod to mid-century design. There is a strong illustrative style, with bold colours in contrasting layers.
Sarah Ross Thompson
Simon Shaw
The Arboretum Print Co
Paula Payne is the artist behind ‘The Arboretum Print Co’. They create detailed original hand-carved lino prints inspired by nature. Paula explains “Most of my work features trees and woodland landscapes. There are so many reasons they fascinate me and continue to be a rich, unending source of imagery. The strength of the timber, the delicate fragility of their foliage. The mossy bark, the habitat and shelter they provide, the foreboding, the movement, the poetry of the sounds they make.
I strive to capture the awe of nature, walking through the dappled light, breathing the air, I want to recapture the essence of the woodland environment. I derive immense pleasure from the processes involved in print making. From developing the compositions, to the hours I spend carving and finding the marks to evoke the atmosphere and the surfaces, to the printing.”
Vanilla Kiln
These hand-built designs are created with porcelain paper clay because it will hold sculptural shapes and survive kiln firings without too much distortion. Each piece is individually made and glazed by Jude then small batches are fired in her kiln.
Very Colourful Jewellery
Brighton based Miranda trained in fine art painting, and brings this passion for painting into her unique jewellery accessories by painting acrylic in layers and then sealing. Aluminium is anodized to accept dyes and made into very fashionable bangles, bracelets and pendants, making each item of jewellery a unique piece of wearable art.
