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!

Chloe Pinheiro Art

Chloe is a Wiltshire based artist, who works with free-flowing movement, to create textured and colourful acrylic pieces inspired by nature. Using a unique and multi-layered technique, Chloe adds texture and depth to her paintings giving them organic vivacity. Her work is focused on natural water sources, in particular the geological surroundings and weather patterns that impact the flow of water. By capturing areas of light and shade refracted through the water's surface, Chloe draws the viewer into the uncompromising energy, elegant forms and unyielding motion of natures tidal strength.
