Liz has been designing and making contemporary jewellery from her studio in Farnham Maltings in Surrey for the last seventeen years. Her work is based on sculptural and organic forms and her jewellery is strongly three dimensional and fairly bold. Liz works mainly in silver and uses 18 carat and 22 carat gold, gemstones and a variety of texturing techniques to achieve contrast in her pieces.
Felicity's ceramic animal sculptures aim to capture the essence of that animal. She uses a mixed media approach, adding materials to support and aid the making process. The materials burn away in the kiln to leave a completely ceramic sculpture, that is finished using traditional methods. The rough, textured surfaces, create movement and life in the animals she portrays.
Marcovitch Shaker wares include boxes, baskets, trays, carriers and sewing boxes, mostly fashioned from cherry or maple. All are made using traditional Shaker methods and have the iconic "swallow tail" joint. Originally self taught Murray then went to the USA to enhance his skills with John Wilson, master box maker. Murray now also teaches box making and has given two master classes at the Institute of Making in London.

Building on stained glass practice, in the Medieval style, Dena also fuses and slumps brightly coloured glass into vessels of different sizes. The essence of her work is to capture light and transmit its brilliance into the space around. Dena uses strong shapes and colour in designs, including, for example a piece of dichroic glass to enhance the overall effect.
