Jane Sampson - Exhibitor
Jane Sampson. Artist /printmaker BA, PGCE, PGDip, MA. Jane makes work that contains a narrative using photomontage and collage from many different sources. It often contains a mixture of found images and her own photographs and drawings. Jane regards these images a visual library that is constantly re-used and manipulated through different print media. The use of texture, colour and layering is central to her working process.
Jane Sarre Ceramics - Exhibitor
Contemporary tableware and servingware thrown in white stoneware. Designs are inspired by family traditions. They utilise the clean-lined clarity of articulated forms and the subtle richness of a carefully selected glaze palette to create pieces that frame any meal. The work is part-glazed in monochrome plus seasonal accent colours to give a quiet but powerful presence. Their use brings awareness to each moment and enriches the experience of daily life.
Joanna Veevers - Exhibitor
Joanna Veevers' initial degree was in Printed Textiles followed by an MA(RCA )in Ceramics. Her creative practice involves making ceramic wall pieces, tiles and mosaics. All her work concerns surface design and drawing and tends to be subject or site specific and has narrative qualities. Joanna uses a technique with strong printmaking parallels, painting and casting with slips from plaster moulds, thus achieving exceptionally fine detail.
Julian Warrender - Precious Metal Jewellery - Exhibitor
Julian makes jewellery in precious metal, shaped to create bold fluid lines and defined profiles. Many of his designs tell a story and involve humour. Detailed castings add character while unusual textures and hammered effects give surfaces dimension and depth. Julian uses gem stones to highlight a contour or accentuate a feature. Each item is individually made using traditional techniques and he aims to give every piece it's own particular personality.
Laura Bennett Jewellery - Exhibitor
