Jacqueline Bissett Jacqueline Bissett has worked with Selfridges, Harrods, Givenchy, Escada, Giorgio Beverly Hills, Samsung & Kurt Geiger, amongst others. Bissett graduated from the Bourneville School of Art & Epsom College of Art. Her style sees splashes of colour bled onto a wet page. It’s a playful approach, quickly executed, with strong black line adding definition and contrast to the soft watercolours.

Jude Jelfs Jude Jelfs studied Fine Art, and became a potter when she married John Jelfs. Over the last few years, she has returned to her roots, combining pottery with painting and sculpture in her current work. Her ceramics range from flat, almost two-dimensional, slab-built vessels, in earthenware or porcelain, to 3-dimensional stoneware pieces. Some pieces are made in editions or series. Others are one-offs. Jude also works in bronze. Her work is on show at galleries all over the UK, as well as in her studio in the Cotswolds. She is a professional member of the Craft Potters’ Association. The body of work in this exhibition uses colours inspired by the Bloomsbury movement, which remains in vogue and is currently enjoying a revival.
