Frances Stephens -
Frances Stephens is a textile designer from Swaziland, where her great grandmother started a handweaving studio in 1949. Frances proudly remains true to her great grandmothers 'handmade from start to finish' ethos -both in preparing the fibres and for weaving the fibres. Frances's throws and cushions are designed in a simple, uncomplicated style - for a classic, chic, and elegant taste. Frances has a strong desire to maintain her family weaving studio in Swaziland, due to the significant impact on the quality -and sustainability- of the lifestyles of over 40 Swazi women who are employed there. This is a family handweaving studio through and through.
Gabriella Casemore -
Gabriella Casemore is known for her refined modern interpretation of floral designs, mainly in silver. She is endlessly fascinated with the complicated structures found in flowers and is also influenced by antique textiles on display at the V&A. She designs by exploring her ideas with paper first; folding, cutting, layering, then eventually translating these ideas into highly wearable silver jewellery. Gabriella handmakes every piece with a meticulous attention to detail and finish, using traditional techniques, from her studio at Brass Monkeys in Hove.
Hannah McVicar -
Hannah is printmaker and illustrator who specialises in botanical screenprints. She is passionate about screenprinting and regularly demonstrates and teaches courses around the country. Hannah has been producing botanical illustrations for books, magazines and packaging for the past ten years and is nationally known for the work that she has produced for Gardens Illustrated magazine and the Royal Horticulture Society.
Heike Roesel / Brighton Etch -
Heike's etchings can be described as semi-abstract imaginative ‘worlds’. They start with a loose idea for an image, often influenced by the dramatic Sussex coastline and Heike's immediate daily surroundings. While she creates the steel plate her idea develops further and she adds imaginative elements. Process and materials inspire the way the image evolves. Heikie aims to inspire an observer’s imagination to find their own individual ‘world’ when they look at her etchings.
Holly Bell Ceramics -
Holly is a ceramicist living in Brighton. She makes thrown and manipulated functional ceramics, in a calm palette that echoes the coastal landscape. Holly uses combinations of glaze and slip to describe the layers of colour found at the horizon, and tactile dimple impressions serve to retain a sense of the clay in its raw, soft state.
