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.

I am a Stroud based artist and am pleased to be a member of The Thursday Group and Stroud Pottery as I like to work alongside other artists. Last year I made some large collages and some very satisfactory ceramic forms. This year my focus is on producing work that allows me to tell a story, using ceramics, the book form and printing.

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.

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.

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 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 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 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 mostly make "pots" of various descriptions but also enjoy working with other materials and creating unique sculptures.
I work at Cirencester College as an Art & Design technician, so time available for my craft is limited, but I am a member of the Enigmatics group and being part of the community gives great encouragement all round.

Jenny trained in stained and fused glass in Singapore in the late 90s. She developed her knowledge with further courses and experimentation along with additional training in silverwork and furniture restoration. Although she loves each creative discipline, her greatest joy is combining them into a new and exciting design, taking inspiration from the natural beauty in the local Cotswold area.

I am a self taught artist. I enjoy all aspects of pottery. I have recently started to sculpt in clay, and have helped with moulding and casting of sculptures.
