Rosa Doyle is a London based Artist, who graduated from Camberwell college of Art university of the Arts London in 2009. She has an affinity for natural history. In particular, animals and birds. Her bold, intricate screen prints utilise vivid colour and graphic pattern to create fun yet sophisticated images.
Rosamund Fowler trained at Edinburgh College of Art and graduated in illustration and graphic design.

Rosamund produces limited edition prints and also has a large range of hand-printed wood engraving greetings cards, all featuring animals and nature. She is an elected member of the Society of Wood Engravers.
Sam Pickard trained as a printed textile designer at Camberwell School of Art, and gained an MA in Textile Design at Bath Spa University. Her studio is situated in a small market town near to Exmoor, and the surrounding countryside is a rich source of inspiration for her work which is based on wildlife and botanical drawing. The product range includes screen-printed cashmere scarves, linen wall panels, cushions, table runners and napkins.
Eco-conscious, statement jewellery made from found objects (driftwood, sea plastic, sea glass, rusty nuts and slate pebbles) combined with semi-precious stones, linked together with handmade, hammered eco-silver and eco-gold chains, delicate crocheted fine silver and fused silver focal pieces. Big statement rings are set with boulder opals from Queensland, Australia and Cornish amethyst and aquamarine found near the local clay pits. Simple hammered eco-silver, eco-gold and brass earrings reflect the shape of the found pieces and deep turquoise enamelled organic-textured silver rings and bangles are inspired by rockpooling. I teach short courses at West Dean so I'd be happy to host a workshop at the Fair.
Using a range of fabric textures and techniques from sumptuous, deeply upholstered silk to thrifty patchwork and having stitched, embroidered and quilted, Sarah casts the fabrics in plaster. She can then press mould and ‘tailor’ porcelain slabs to make jugs, vases and lamps.
