Amelia Harvey

Michael Sutherland

Michael's work embraces punchy colour and fragmented form. Using oils and acrylics, his approach to painting is often free-wheeling and improvisational in the early stages and pieces evolve to find structure while allowing the chaos of the beginnings to peek through.
Michael became a full-time artist in January 2024 and demand for his work has increased significantly during this period.
His work has featured on the lockdown version of Sky Arts' Portrait Artist of the Year as well as Landscape Artist of the Year.

I am a maker of wooden figurative and abstract sculptures based on life, experience, feeling and emotion. I chase the grain by carving, scorching, blasting, and creating large faces or strange curiosities from nature. My work justifies my existence, helps me express myself and find meaning.

With cross-cultural sources from my African birthplace to historical and contemporary Britain, I have always been drawn to ancient art and ritual.

Cheryl Cork Ceramics

My degree in Contemporary Crafts led me to various processes using clay. Initially slip casting in porcelain, I then moved to hand-building and coiling with various textured clays, wanting to be more organic and spontaneous with form. Inspiration for both texture and colour are found in nature, recently being rock faces and strata. Currently seasonal colours found in nature have inspired a move away from grey and black. My passion for Japanese and Korean ceramics inspires me occasionally to throw footed bowls and enjoy the process of kurinuki.

Hollie Molloy Fine Art

I am an oil painter with a love of birds and animals and the stories that they can tell. I was always taught in writing to ‘Show, not tell’ and I think that translates perfectly into art. To tell a story through one image is something I find exciting. I love the idea of bringing the outdoors into people’s homes with my paintings and I believe that a connection with nature is so important to our mental and physical wellbeing.
In 2024 I exhibited at the Mall Galleries with the Royal British Art Society.

Heather Stone Ceramics

A collection of strong and distinctive, earthy yet fragile hand-built ceramic forms. A personal vocabulary of textured and expressive surfaces, together with scale, invite physical interaction. A rhythm of creation and destruction persists - of building up and taking away, influenced by all things weathered, broken, changed, dug-up and ancient.

Inspiration comes from many visits to the coasts of Cornwall and my current home in Wiltshire but always expressing the mood of the day. Always inspired by nature and the environment around me the variations in style are also due to time restrictions which is the nature of a teaching job, busy family life and the desire to constantly evolve as an artist.

Lisa Metcalfe Huntingdon Gallery

Immersing myself in the drawing process I try to capture a simple outline of a natural form through intuition and without correction. It is this initial use of line, which is the essence and starting point of my work. These drawings are then explored through my imagination and combined with a play of shape and colour through various processes.By breaking down an image, into purely line and shape and working on them as separate layers I can play with each layer and manipulate the two elements, in order to create the final reimage.

Chloë Alexander

I am a semi-retired book designer and when I took on the atelier at New Farm I saw it as a perfect opportunity to get myself away from the computer screen and back to painting and mixed media. So for my pieces I have taken my love of lettering and text and moved it into a physical arena, using cut out letters and paint layers to create small works of quotes and maxims that appeal to me. Perhaps some of them could be hung next to a front door for inspiration before you leave the house...

Art by Joanne Spencer

Bam! My eyes have seen something that my brain has processed, and it’s made my soul sing, my very next thought is “How do I make that into a Lino?” It can be anything, waves crashing against a rocky shore, the quirky design of a VW camper van, or the dreamy colours of the Isle of Skye. My aim is to create a representation of what I saw when I had my “Bam” moment, and hopefully pass on the positive feelings through my artwork.

Art by Ali

My journey as an artist has been anything but conventional.

Focusing on illustration, a medium that allows me to blend my passion for the world around me with visual expression.
The turning point came in January 2022 when I took a leap of faith and opened The Corsham Gallery. This venture not only provided a platform for my work but also allowed me to cultivate a vibrant community of local artists.

Dominic Warwood-Smith Ceramics

Designer Maker currently working in Clay: a mix of Slipware techniques at Earthenware temperatures for expressive one-off pieces and simple glazed Stoneware for functional tableware. Most recently I have been enjoying the tactile nature of high-fired red earthenware, sometimes in a raw unglazed finish; using this medium to explore interpretations of what a ‘vessel’ can be. My aim is to create fluid, contemporary and fresh objects from traditional processes whilst keeping that ‘freshness’ alive throughout.

Chloe Yandell

Throughout the creative journey Chloe uses a variety of mediums to convey a concept. Exploring ideas, techniques and processes are a big part of her work, focusing on texture and mark making. Often the pieces evolve throughout exploration allowing the work to be about materials and their potential.

My inspiration comes from the natural world, cultural aspects and the fabrics I come across.
My work echoes ideas of the Arts and Crafts movement, as it considers human aspects.

Jane Cross Pottery

Wheel thrown pottery, fired in a wood kiln creates a transformative dialogue between earth, fire, and form. I love the unpredictability of the flames and ash deposits; each piece has a tactile, unique quality where the flames have left their mark. Wood firing, with its labor-intensive process, creates challenges, unplanned textures, and imperfections that are beautiful for their individuality. My goal is to create pottery that reflects how this process is as significant as the finished piece and that beauty can be found in the unpredictability of nature.

Claire Houghton Textiles

My inspiration is drawn from walks in the surrounding Wiltshire countryside and the Cornish coastline.

These textile scenes are created using a variety of fabrics, processes and techniques, including dyeing, painting and manipulating.

Delving into my collection of vintage linens and lace,I enjoy bringing age worn textiles back to life. Layering fabrics onto a base, particular attention is given to colour. More texture is added using free motion machine embroidery and embelishment. The final stage adds hand embroidered detail.
In my home - based studio each piece evoles as it is created.

Lyndsay Tarren-Leister

I'm a contemporary abstract artist & I love to create large abstract expressionistic paintings, that are full of texture, colour, marks & light. I am in awe of how a vision from within can be transformed onto a canvas, inspired from a visit to the coast or a walk in the countryside.

I feel my art creates a calm, serene atmosphere in this busy world we live in!
