My work is characterised by a nuanced and restrained
palette. Surfaces are sanded, scratched, and drawn
into. I aim to reveal beauty in the overlooked and mundane, drawing attention to the values of their condition. My latest collection includes studies of structures and spaces in Cornwall and Gloucestershire, incorporating painting, drawing and ceramics.

I focus on making enamelled works of still-life, landscape, architecture and figurative pieces. The medium is opaque vitreous enamel powder sifted onto copper sheet using stencils, sgraffito, wet-lay, freehand and water kiln fired to 800°c

I am a blown glass artist. I was trained by Peter Layton and now make work at the Bristol Blue foundry. My work uses colour and designs that allow the glass to follow the form it takes with lots of scalding, coaxing and cajoling into vessels with coherent internal designs.

I first started to enjoy glass art about 7 years ago. I have developed different techniques by attending a variety of courses and experimentation. I take my inspiration from the world around me. I particularly love the translucent qualities of glass. I make some large garden pieces of art as well as artistic indoor pieces.

I am still experimenting as an artist in different mediums and find I really enjoy painting large canvasses. I am lucky to live close to nature in the wonderful Gloucestershire countryside, which inspires my wildlife photography, and my art. Recently I have taken an interest in ceramics, enjoying creating in 3D items that can go in gardens, and sometimes featuring birds and nature.

I love making and creating. I have centred my practice in sculpture, working with many media and exploring their properties; including, stone, ceramics, painting, drawing, filmmaking and installations. I enjoy pushing the boundaries of materials and ideas. I tend to evolve work rather than have a specific end result in mind, but sometimes I do that too.

Eva creates kiln-formed glass art, homeware and jewellery under the brand Eva Glass Design. Her work is designed to interact with natural light to bring patterns of colour to interiors. Eva is inspired by nature, line and colour; and uses principles of balance and proportion in her designs which allows them to bring a harmonious feel to interiors.

I am a teacher, artist and jeweller based in Stroud. I enjoy working in a range of media including acrylic, watercolour and vitreous enamel. Like many, I find joy in the natural world and my work is inspired by the ebbs, flows, light and space found in nature. I particularly enjoy painting skyscapes and seascapes, often featuring murmurations. I also create seascape inspired enamel jewellery and teach enamelling workshops.

Sally Brooks is a ceramic artist and environmental activist, whose work reflects the negative man made changes, that are affecting ecology and humans.
Recent work developed from a year living in an ancient woodland on a protest camp, Jones’ Hill Woods in Buckinghamshire, now felled by HS2. The abstract scenes depicted on her Raku fired ceramics are personal memories of events, trees and place.

I trained in Ceramics and my practice encompasses a broad range of forms - vessels and sculptural pieces as well as painting and drawing, usually from life. I have also worked in theatre for the past 35 years in various roles including designing and making sets, props, costumes, puppets and lighting design. I have recently moved to Stroud from London.

I explore colour, form, material, pattern, and rhythm, and use these elements to share my feelings and impressions of the events and places of the 21st century. I aim to express what is peaceful, hopeful, and joyful in this turbulent and fast-moving time. These works are a "note to self" that life is worth the journey. The final pieces are often abstract but always start with looking, noticing and drawing.

My paintings are an emotional response to that which I see around me. Much of my inspiration comes from the wonderful hills and valleys of the Stroud area. My paintings are usually mixed media plus occasional lino prints.
