Introduction
Art
The UK’s South West has a long history of producing world-class artists and cultural organisations, known for the strength of its theatre-making, artists and craft-makers, leading digital and creative media practice and the dazzling explosion of carnival and outdoor art each year.
Jewellery
This vibrant culture encompasses large-scale festivals, small neighbourhood projects, collaborations, individual craftspeople and artists, as well as internationally acclaimed galleries.
Craft
Incorporating large urban conurbations with industrial and maritime histories, the South West of England also spans a wide and varied rural landscape. This diversity inspires a vibrant range of arts from gritty urbanism to rural insight and environmental comment. Many of the leading artists and cultural organisations work closely with local communities underpinning a high level of engagement with the arts and museums. In our modern, connected society, artists and makers across this remarkable UHJLRQ UHĂ€HFW WKURXJK WKHLU ZRUN ERWK WKH H[FLWHPHQW DQG LQYHQWLYHQHVV RI VHHLQJ things in a new way, coupled with the heritage of craft, skill and sense of place.

Nick Andrew
Gestural and colourist pastoral paintings, capturing the movement and vitality of landscape.
Nick Andrew studied Art and Graphic Design in Oxford, London and Cheltenham. Since graduating in 1979, Nick has been working as a painter and has exhibited widely, throughout the UK, mainland Europe, and the USA. He has work in many public and private collections. For the past 2 decades he has lived and worked in part of a watermill on the upper reaches of the River Wylye in South Wiltshire. During this time, much of Nick’s work has been based on the landscape within walking distance of his studio.

“I’m drawn to quiet, intimate, secluded places within my immediate landscape and, in particular, a three- mile stretch of the River Wylye close to where I live, along with adjacent water meadows and nearby woodland.

Paul Bawden
Brightly coloured or monochromatic, abstract and semi abstract screenprints. Playing with graphic ideas taken from Nature and Art history. After graduating from college (BA illustration), I initially began working as a freelance Illustrator. Making paintings for book jackets Magazines and producing some advertising work, my clients included, Harper Collins, Penguin, Scott Rail, Fiat, W H Smiths, Budget Car Hire and various Magazines. The Illustration work led to gaining employment as a part time Illustration lecturer at Falmouth College of art.
Two Friends (Original Screen Print) Untitled 2 (Original Screen Print)
After 3 years at Falmouth I made the decision, to return as a mature student to study a Master’s degree in Fine Art Printmaking, and further investigate idea of Abstraction.
I am very aware that during the making process, I will at some point reference another artist or artists, and believe that this should not be viewed as an unwanted element, but is to be invited even perhaps embellished.
At this time, I Had basically stopped my observational drawing and become very interested in the surrealist concept of drawing automatically (automatism).
After a year at City and Guilty I won a place on the printmaking course at the Royal College of Art. It was during my Second Two years of postgraduate study that I found my love for screen printing.
Spring (Original Screen Print)
Since graduating from the Royal college, I have spent the past 10 years trying to understand and develop my working process. Not wanting to be formulaic or stylistic I’ve been working with the surrealist idea of automatism with an eye to achieving an evolving organic practice which has no real rules.
Studying printmaking techniques at Camberwell school of art, I was predominantly focusing on etching.
I graduated From Camberwell and won a research assistant post at the City and Guilds Art College and an associate membership of the Royal society of Painter Printmakers.

I am a designer/illustrator, creating unique illustrations inspired by the natural world and family events with a mid-century modern feel. After returning to Cornwall from living and working in London, I retrained as a web and graphic designer in 2000 to pursue my interest in the emerging creative technologies. I worked as a web and graphic designer for 12 years, and had begun developing my creative ideas through various evening classes in printmaking, etching and life drawing.
Dog Cockles (GiclĂŠe print)
When my children left home I decided it was time to sell my own illustrations and designs and set up my business selling prints, cards, illustrated home ware and gifts.
I work from my studio in my back garden, which overlooks the River Gannel in Newquay, Cornwall. After an early morning walk on Cubert Common or on one of Newquay’s many beautiful beaches, I work on new designs, printing orders, or on private and commercial bespoke commissions, while Rufus sits on our mid century orange chair to oversee proceedings and remind me to take a break. When I look at the coastal landscape around me I see bold patterns and graphic shapes, and I translate this into my work.

Alexandra Brown
Vibrant painter of magical creatures Alexandra Brown was born in London in 1971. She studied art at Wimbledon School of Art and the The Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. For several years Alexandra lived, worked and exhibited in Holland before returning to London in 2001. Two of her works have been acquired by The Nederlansche Bank and her work was also shown at The Museum Van Loon in 2006 as part of an exhibition called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spirito Y Carneâ&#x20AC;? showing contemporary pieces from the collection of the Nederlandsche Bank in the context of the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old art collection. After a few years working and exhibiting in London, Alexandra moved to Bruton with her family. Her studio is at The Silk Mill in Frome. Alexandra Brown works mainly in oils and with pastel on paper. Presently her paintings are exploring the human tendency to look for meaning and sacredness in the natural world something that in our modern world we seem to be moving increasingly further away from. She hopes to create in these paintings a kind of revelatory encounter with nature. They are painted on panels on a background of distressed copper, a PHGLXP VKH XVHG ÂżUVW EHFDXVH RI LWÂśV UHIHUHQFH to the Goddess Venus. The copper helps give the paintings an object-like quality as if they were part of a shrine in praise of the natural world and relating to stories, myths and beliefs that are bound up with our human past.

Inspired by the collaborative nature of the Cubists and their reference to 3 dimensions I initiated an International Community Sculpture, the ECOS Amphitheatre, in Frome Somerset importing massive monoliths from the original 12 nations of Europe to join a local parliament of stone representatives in 1992. I have collaborated with many composers and musicians over the time since then including Simon Holt ‘Kites’ in the Bath Festival, Nigel Osborne ‘Songs of the Stones’ in the Edinburgh Festival, and Helen Ottaway ‘Round and Round’ in the Salisbury Festival and ‘Layers’ in the Silk Mill Frome.

Peter Hayes Sculpture
Contemporary Sculpture for indoor and outdoor environments. I studied at Mosely School of Art then onwards to Birmingham College of Art. I then ran my own studio in Cornwall, UK before taking up a post in Lesotho, Africa with The Lesotho Development Corporation setting up projects and training local craftsmen. After a few years this was expanded and I joined the Commonwealth Secretariat continuing projects in Swaziland, Botswana, India and Nepal. On completion of this project I returned to the UK and set up my own studio in Bath. I now exhibit worldwide in galleries including Oman, Dubai, USA, India, and Europe.

I have always been interested in the history of sculpture - why and how â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;thingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are made. This interest was extended after I spent several years travelling through Africa working with various tribes and being intrigued how, with limited technology and basic tools, they were able to get such exquisite, beautiful surfaces. I found the same inherent skills in India, Nepal, Japan and New Mexico. I tried to adopt the ideas picked up from my travels in my own work.

I have been working on large scale forms which I have placed in the landscape. My main aim is that the work should not compete with the landscape, but evolve within the environment. With the elements of time and erosion, the individual piece takes on its own developing surface. Recently, one of these large commissions has taken me to India. My client suggested I make it on site. Now I have discovered Udaipur in Rajasthan.

Tanya Hinton
An innovative artist breathing new life into worn and weathered wood. I was brought up in a creative ‘Bohemian’ household. My father was an artist, who established a highly successful business, sculpting and manufacturing model soldiers. I learned about handling paint, colour mixing and attention to detail at an early age. My mother was an artists’ model and many creative friends of my parents would visit. Often left to my own devices in our ramshackle and run down house by the Thames, I learned to entertain myself and that has stayed with me. Not a conventional upbringing by any stretch of the imagination!
Eva (Oil on wood panel)
Since then, I have always been involved in creative work: painting, ceramics and as an artists’ model myself. Having painted on canvas for many years, I discovered working on weathered wood around six years ago. I see the ready made landscape presented in the wood and paint what I feel is appropriate. A habitat for wild and beautiful animals. Whilst many of the creatures I paint are British, I am increasingly inspired by the Arctic and by Norse legends.

Amy Jobes
Working with acrylics, acrylic inks, texture paste, collage and oils I build my pieces layer by layer. I use a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;build and destroyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; approach, where I paint a scene and use a fan brush, palette knife or rag to soften the image or create exquisite marks. I like to use expressive mark making with a limited palette. I work intuitively and use my own photographs and sketches as references to my time spent in the landscape.
Impressionist landscapes in mixed media in oil. Inspired by natural places with huge skies and distant horizons. Growing up in rural Hampshire, I always had a very strong connection and love for nature and the great outdoors. Nature has always been the focus for my artwork, which I have been selling since I was 15 years old. I went on to study Biology and Geography BSc at Exeter University and worked at the Environment Agency for eight years. During this time working on environmental issues I developed an even greater respect for nature and the services it provides to us.

Summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Bloom (Oil on canvas)
I aim to transport the viewer to the scene. To portray the sense of space, fresh air and exhilaration I feel when I am outside in these breathtaking places. I paint open compositions of pristine environments and rarely include figures in my work. The philosophy behind my work is that the natural environment is so much greater than us. It was here before us and will remain after we are gone. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vast and unforgiving, yet when we visit an unspoilt natural place it can be a very healing and spiritual experience. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to inspire others to share this experience, while developing their own deep connection and respect for nature.

The exciting collision of paper and textiles highlights the textural and colourful elements of the subject matter. Silver Birch
Debby is inspired by the ever-changing colours and textures of her home county of Dorset. Flora and fauna are regular subject matter in her artworks, as well as iconic Dorset landscapes. Her love of architecture and pattern can be found in the way she weaves the paper together, often adding order to the natural world captured in the images.

A series of illustrative stylised paintings depicting a Dickensian character known as ‘The Gutterman’ in urban historical scenes from a bygone era with a touch of humour & charm. Born in Somerset in 1985 I have lived in the South West of England most of my life. I am mainly a self taught artist although I have studied art & design at Somerset college of Arts & Technology in Taunton. From there I went on to study Animation at the University West of England in Bristol where I graduated in 2014 having gained a BA Hons degree in the subject. Inspired by my love of cartoons, story telling and my fascination for history I created my series of Gutterman paintings. Each features my main Dickensian styled character known as ‘The Gutterman’. He appears in street scenes from a Victorian bygone age wearing a top hat, green overcoat and has rather a large nose. Each piece of work tells a story and hidden in every painting is my quirky humour with mice & pigeons hidden among the buildings.

Bronze Hypnia
Red Kite front view
Since my teens spent in Cambridge exploring the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s museums of natural history, classical archaeology and anthropology, I have had a passion for both natural and ancient history. Many of my sculptures based on ancient history have explored the changing perception of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age and beyond. Some like Hypnia, have gone full circle from a bronze seen at the British Museum, to my own enlarged ceramic version and then via 3D printing, shrunk back to bronze again. In addition to sculpting endangered wildlife, I also celebrate recovering or reintroduced species such as the Buzzard and the Red Kite. These life sized female birds show aspects unique to those species. As well as sculpting full time, I founded a badger vaccination scheme in South Devon in 2012, lead the Great Badger Trail from Gloucester to Westminster, (130 miles/209 kilometres) in 2014, and created a community art action about the Badger Cull in the South Hams 2016. Analysing the FERA Ecological Impact Report of the wider ecological consequences of badger culling has lead me to my most ambitious sculpture project yet, one which shows, in 3D and technicolour, the ecological consequences of the UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s badger cull. 7KH OLWWOH EDGJHU µ3HUVHFXWHG¶ LV WKH ¿UVW VWDJH LQ WKLV YHU\ FRPSOH[ VFXOSWXUH ZKLFK PD\ ¿QDOO\ contain up to 100 species of plants and animals, all in patinated foundry bronze, pouring out of the badgers back as they disappear in a big spiral tide.

My paintings operate as a personal register of marks that are formed from constructs of memory, emotion and indirect references to place.

Many RI WKH LQÃ&#x20AC;XHQFHV DUH QRW QRWLFHDEO\ RYHUW EXW are located on the edge of consciousness and gradually seep in as the work slowly evolves.

Dune (Acrylic and ink on paper)
I combine many processes which often results in a rich palimpsest of surfaces, that reveal traces of the works history through the colours, marks and textures that are overlaid and entwined. In places the play between these formal elements registers a tension between the familiar and the unknown, offering subtle suggestions and emphasising instability over certainty.

Trudy Montgomery
In her large, vibrant Union paintings, a reference to yoga and its sanskrit meaning â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;to joinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, Trudy searches for a dynamic balance and harmony between opposing forces of the HJR VHOI DQG RXU LQÂżQLWH VSLULW ,Q WKHVH DEVWUDFW landscape paintings, which reference action DQG TXLHW UHĂ&#x20AC;HFWLRQ 7UXG\ VHHNV WR GLVWLOO WKH energies of masculine and feminine to their essential symbols, employing a strong upright and a U- or V-shaped vessel to do so.
Joyful and uplifting, Trudy Montgomeryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vibrant paintings portray an active vitality and freedom of spirit. Working from a meditative state of action, she uses the possibilities of paint to convey in the abstract what is, so often, inexpressible via words. Trudy Montgomery is one of the next generation of artists in Cornwall whose work is part of a direct line of British expressionist painting which has its roots in the ground-breaking abstraction of artists such as Patrick Heron and Peter Lanyon.

Recently returned to the UK after fourteen years in California, she now lives and works in an idyllic corner of West Cornwall. Her tendency towards pure, bold colour on an immersive scale is influenced by the light and space of both the Californian and Cornish coast and the artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own spiritual landscape.
Trudyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Meditation paintings arose out of an artist residency and subsequent visits to India. Depicting pristine landscapes with clear depths, these paintings bring a sense of peace and purity; gradations of tonal colour relate to layers of consciousness and a richness of palette evokes a pleasing harmony. The Meditation series is available as limited edition prints. Trudyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experiences in India and daily meditation practice naturally led into her Sacred Geometry paintings, which incorporate the ribbons of colour she sees as symbolising wisdom received on the intuitive plane; a place beyond thought pattern where instantaneous knowing is acquired without logic or proof.
Her work has been exhibited in London, Dubai, Los Angeles and Berlin and is held in private and corporate collections including Hard Rock Cafe, Laing Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Rourke and Nordstroms.

Kev Pearson has been an avid photographer VLQFH ZKHQ KH ERXJKW KLV ¿UVW FDPHUD DQG although admittedly a late starter, he has made up for lost time with his enthusiasm and eagerness to learn the tools and trade of photography. Prior to moving to Glastonbury in late 2015 he worked for over 20 years in the aerospace industry in Belfast, N Ireland where he was raised. When he and wife, Jane decided to move to the West Country it was with the intention of carrying on in the Aerospace industry and keeping photography as a hobby however the reaction from locals and visitors to early photos posted on social media caused a quick rethink. Demand for his work has steadily grown in the months since then and working in such a creative, nurturing, spiritual and inspirational part of the country as Glastonbury has been a boost, opening new doors and creating new opportunities.

I never rest on my laurels and do whatever it takes to get the right shot no matter what time of day or night I need to go out at. With patience and dedication to my craft my work has matured to the point where I am able to capture the mood and essence of every location I visit and patrons from all walks of life have been able to tap into that – feeling as if they are being transported to that place and time like a photographic meditation of sorts.

The work I make has always been contingent upon, and deeply linked to my surroundings, and I am continuously referencing the landscape, history and environment around me. I see all objects, environments and places as imbued with memory and time, but I’m especially drawn to those that seem to have lost their exact meaning because they are no longer able to communicate it or we simply are no longer able to read it. I’m interested in looking beyond what we look for when we look. By breaking down the process by which we see things, and addressing the things that remain unseen. I like to think if I take the time to look at everything equally, and indeed more so at the things that don’t seem to deserve our attention, then I will discover the connections between all things, and more.

I am an expressive painter based in the heart of Bristol. After a spell of studying art at Bath Spa University I sought out further training at an independent art school in the furthest part of Cornwall.

Later I was fortunate to secure a mentorship with an established artist which opened up my eyes to the potential and possibilities of paint for VHOI H[SUHVVLRQ )ROORZLQJ WKLV , ZDV RႇHUHG DQ artist residency at Brison’s Veor where I spent a self indulgent week painting obsessively from a studio overlooking the sea.

Where you are
My work has been described as tangible, delicious and emotive. They are the kind of paintings people want to touch, to taste and to experience. You could call them the Rothco of seascapes, full of colour, soul and most of all heart. One visitor to my summer show commented, ‘Your paintings capture everything the sea means to me, the colours sing. They tell a beautiful love story.’ My ultimate aim is to put into paint the sensations I encounter in my environment , and then to invite my audience to join me there. So it is as if they are stood next to me admiring a sunset or watching the waves crash and calm.

I am aware that landscape painting is a popular art form, common in the South West especially. Yet I hope that I contribute something unique to a traditional discipline. A way of observing nature and responding to the world around me which is fresh, interesting and pushes the boundaries of landscape painting itself.

Throughout my career I have shown in galleries and worked to commission. My work varies in scale from pieces suited to domestic interiors to works on a grand scale for public buildings. The first major commission was in 1979 in conjunction with the Royal School of Needlework. This was an embroidered fabric collage 9â&#x20AC;&#x2122; x 7â&#x20AC;&#x2122; to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the Bath family at Longleat House. American clients include Boeing, Universities of Alaska and Washington State, BASF, Waldorf Astoria, Marriott Hotels, Hilton Hotels.
My art is about seductive beauty, both in the FKRLFH RI VXEMHFW DQG WKH WDFWLOH OLJKW UHĂ&#x20AC;HFWLYH surfaces of my textile collages. I developed the unique technique I use while studying at Goldsmiths. Fabrics are hand dyed, then bonded together to create artworks that vary with changing light and as the viewer walks past, so that a landscape can shift and change and is a continually evolving experience. The art is designed to capture the viewer at a distance then draw them in to explore the intricacies of the natural world.
I have had one-man exhibitions across America from New York to California as well as maintaining long-standing relationships with galleries with which I show on an ongoing basis. This is also true of Britain, where my art can also be seen in my working studio in the Penberth Valley.

Painting is a physical and decisive act: a mark initiating a world, forcing a form into existence, drawing ephemeral fragments from the imagination into physical being. Paint builds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it structures and shapes, leaving a pigment deposit on paper and canvas; allowing formless things to become concrete, drawing the invisible into perceivable being. But this is not what we encounter in Kate Waltersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Shetland watercolours.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The emotive paintings of Joe Webster are love songs to the world, to nature, and to all that is real, strong, wild and free. Like a poet wielding a brush he immerses himself in his landscapes. He paints with his soul as much as his body, and with a raw abandon tempered by a steadfast appreciation of structure, form, colour and technique. It is startling to see him on a vast and empty beach, FOL௺V ORRPLQJ DOO DURXQG UDLQ VSDWWHULQJ KLV FDQYDV he is a tiny speck in nature, like driftwood, only buttressed by his easel, a warm jacket and a will to transmute the glory of all that is around him into form.

The best artists bring the deepest part of themselves into their work, leaving a subtle energetic residue of their soul at that time, in that place, like an etheric snapshot of who they most profoundly are. Their essence is somehow painted into the landscape or the tree or the clouds untethered on the horizon. It is a unique and binding alchemy that rings out from the work with a gentle authority and a silent integrity. Joe Webster is such an artist. He stands strong in the throes of the natural world and dares himself to withstand it, to capture it, to somehow KROG LW WR KLP VR KH FDQ R௺HU LW WR \RX +LV DUW LV D way to come home to the truest place of belonging, nature.

Tilly Willis
Portraiture is of particular interest to me I paint quickly to capture the essence and likeness of my sitter. I often work to commission but equally enjoy painting friends, family members (particularly my teenage daughters) and self-portraits. Born into a family of artists, I was brought up in Somerset, England. Growing up in an atmosphere of creativity, my father sculpting and painting, occasional visits from my cartoonist grandfather HM Bateman, and my elder sister forging her career as a painter, all contributed to my own interest in art. Throughout my adult life, I have taken every RSSRUWXQLW\ WR WUDYHO SUHIHUDEO\ ZHOO Rá&#x201A;&#x2021; WKH beaten track. As a consequence my wanderlust LV UHĂ&#x20AC;HFWHG LQ PXFK RI P\ ZRUN ,Q , became a fellow of The Royal Geographical Society and have since exhibited there. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been particularly drawn to Africa and when travelling use my artistic skills, such as sketching quick portraits or painting outside, to meet people and to gain a deeper understanding of the places I visit.

Sophie Willoughby
Prints are inspired by architecture and the human body. They are made on paper, enamel and metal using multiple processes including screenprinting, collage, photography, enamelling and mark-making. Sophie Willoughby is an emerging artist who lives and works in Bristol. Her work is motivated by an interest in architecture and its relationship to the body. The idea of anthropomorphic qualities in buildings that resemble human structures, such as the skeleton and how architecture often mirrors the body, in particular the way the human body informs our urban space and the tension between the organic and the man-made. The formal qualities of architecture are her starting points; geometric structures, light and shade. Captured initially with photography, images are broken down and fragmented through the process of screenprint, to form ambiguous prints, verging on abstraction.

Architectural Fragment 3 (Three colour screenprint)
The subjects of architecture and the human body are the driving forces within Sophie Willoughbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artwork. Using photography, inspiration is taken from her immediate surroundings. Images of street scenes, buildings, and people are captured then broken down, collaged, fragmented and WDNHQ WKURXJK D FUHDWLYH SURFHVV WR ÂżQDOLVH LQ KHU G\QDPLF SULQW ZRUNV The idea of revealing and concealing are expressed through layers of colour, texture and multiple images, which are built up within her work to bring a mysterious quality to the forefront. The work encourages an interplay of human and architectural form whilst encouraging an awareness of the mysterious sense of space the city can provide. The images, ghostlike in appearance, are designed to encourage us to celebrate the often overlooked subtleties that surround us in the urban environment and to remind us of the importance of observation of our immediate surroundings. In this sense, the magnitude of the monuments of the city represents a quiet FRQÂżGHQFH WKDW GHÂżHV WKH FKDRV DQG FRQIXVLRQ WKDW ZH WHQG WR DVVRFLDWH ZLWK LW 7KH IRFDO SRLQW RI WKH LPDJHU\ LV WKH DUFKLWHFWXUH V\PEROLF RI WKH WUDFHV ZH OHDYH EHKLQG 7KH ÂżJXUHV UHGXFHG to the background as a subtle reminder of the presence of this meditative space.

Melanie exhibited widely in the UK and also in Europe during the 80â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and 90â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s but took a break from exhibiting when her children ( who both have Tourette syndrome) were small. She did however continue creating work and this new body of work is something she is keen to show.

Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is a delicious mix of both serious and playful. Universal themes of love, loss, isolation, frustration and hope are explored in a rich and patterned surface that is immediate and primal. A break from exhibiting has allowed her to develop her paintings with freedom and create an exciting body of work that she is ready to showcase. In the past Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work has been particularly well received in Germany and France and the richness and depth of this work will suit an international market.

Hannah Batstone
Hand Crafted
Handcrafted Silver + Gold jewellery characterised by geometric shapes and set with semi-precious gemstone. Hannah Batstone is a Contemporary Jeweller based at Old Bank Studios, Penryn Cornwall. Hannah Batstone graduated from Falmouth University with a First Class honours degree in Contemporary Craft in 2012. Since then she has been working continuously to develop her knowledge and understanding of jewellery making. In 2016 Hannah and 2 friends set up Old Bank Studios, which doubles as their studios and shop, and has been working full time as a jeweller since the summer of 2017. She sells throughout galleries in Cornwall and the South West, and has recently been part of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;MAKEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Christmas exhibition at The Devon Guild of Craftsmen. Hannahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is inspired by the landscape that surrounds her. Jagged granite rocks, rippled sand and opalescent colours are represented in her use of unusual gemstones, and distilled into her designs using geometric shapes, texture and subtle details. Each piece of Hannahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jewellery is handcrafted using traditional silversmithing and gem-setting techniques.
Hannah has a sophisticated eye for design that assists her in making striking and attractive Contemporary jewellery.

Abigail Brown
Hand Crafted
Abigail produces work predominantly in silver using traditional methods. Abigail has been making contemporary designs in Jewellery and Silverware for over 15 years. She trained as a Jeweller and Silversmith at Loughborough University School of Art and Design, and went on to further train at Bishopsland Workshops and as Artist in Residence at Edinburgh College of Arts under Prof Dorothy Hogg. Abigail has exhibited extensively throughout the UK and internationally. Venues and exhibitions include Goldsmithsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Fair at the Worshipful Company of Goldsmithsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in London; The Saatchi Gallery; The German Goldsmithsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; House, Hanau; The Victoria & Albert Museum; and Velvet da Vinci, San Francisco. Abigailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is deeply rooted in her relationship with the land and a life long interest in the ancient monuments of Britain and Eurasia. The jewellery collections began life as a diversion from her silverware, and based upon the folds, forms and sensuality of the female form. This has since evolved into ideas about the land as female, ancient monuments and other archaeological artefacts, to become statement jewellery pieces that are iconic, sculptural and sensual. Many of the jewellery pieces are designed to also be displayed as sculptural forms to be equally appreciated when not worn.

Born in England and raised in Hong Kong, I have been living and working in East Devon since studying 3D-Design (Metal) in Brighton.

Working as a full-time jewellery designer/maker in my workshop in the valley of the River Otter I am blessed with parkland and farming views and only a short walk or drive away from open heathland and the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline. My aim is to create objects to be worn, touched and treasured within peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daily lives, totemic objects of desire and memory. Commissioned pieces focus on encapsulating the clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memories and experiences into unique items of precious jewellery. I am currently working on designs that explore the passage of time and the associated erosion and corrosion which has resulted in a series of sculpted forms layered with textures and patinas, one upon the other.

Contemporary handmade jewellery inspired by the beach and sea on the Dorset coast. I studied â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Silversmithing and Metalworkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at Camberwell College of Arts in London and gained a BA Hons degree in 2005. Since then I have steadily built up my jewellery business, showing and selling my work at exhibitions, events and independent galleries around the UK. I now work as a full-time jeweller and silversmith from my shop in Lyme Regis, Dorset, which I opened in 2012. The shop showcases my work but is also my workshop, where people can see each piece created by hand. I also sell online through my website and show my work at exhibitions and fairs each year around the UK.

Katie has a strong loyal customer following in the UK and Ireland. The brand has been popular with bloggers, celebrities and press in the UK, Ireland, Japan, America and Australia.

After creating a collection of jewellery for myself, One&Eight was born. All the pieces are designed and created in our sunny (well sometimes) studio in the green, rolling hills of Devon. Supported by a wonderful team, we have developed a number of techniques to craft jewellery that is unique and stands out from other designers. At One & Eight our packaging is really important to us.

Lichen Stud Earrings (Sterling silver and 18ct gold)
Every piece of jewellery is hand crafted by me in my small workshop in Cornwall. The techniques I use are ones that have remained unchanged for hundreds of years and I prefer to use traditional tools from Granddadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workshop to help keep me anchored to my inspiration.
My inspiration comes from the wonderful ancient landscapes I am surrounded by in Cornwall, the monolith standing stones and from naĂŻve cave drawings I have seen on my travels. I am fascinated by how closely our lives were once bound to the rhythms of nature and use a small element of gold to represent the importance of the natural environment.

My hands on approach means my work feels organic and I allow marks made during the process to remain as an integral part of the surface, giving the owner a feeling of how each piece has been formed and the time involved in creating it. Hand beating gives texture to the silver and gold so it catches the light, ensuring that every piece of jewellery has its own identity and organic form.

When a quirk of fate led me to study with one of the UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading pewterers, I immediately found myself drawn to gravity casting, the most traditional of pewter techniques.
Clam and Oyster Set
Gravity casting is a labour intensive process that connects me strongly to both the earth (tin) and the sea (shells), both of which are very much part of Cornwallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spirit of place. I live and work near the sea, on Cornwallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s EHDXWLIXO 5RVHODQG 3HQLQVXOD 0\ ZRUN UHĂ&#x20AC;HFWV the natural elements of the Cornish coastline: smooth sandy bays, rugged slate outcroppings, pounding surf and quiet tide pools. I create the moulds for my hand-cast pieces from carefully selected shells I discover on my beachcombing expeditions.

All of my work is made by hand from PRGHUQ SHZWHU ZKLFK LV PRUH WKDQ WLQ Tin has been mined in Cornwall for thousands of years and I am proud to be carrying on the Cornish metal-working tradition. Modern pewter is lead free and food safe, with a warm and lustrous glow. It has all of the beauty of silver but none of the maintenance, making it the perfect material for modern living. Modern pewter also makes the perfect 10th anniversary gift, which is traditionally associated with tin. Shells are one of natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most amazing creations. Their beauty appeals to everyone - who hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t brought a special shell home from a trip to the beach? I have been told that people buy my pieces not just because of their artistry, but because they evoke happy memories of days by the sea. The wonder and joy of nature are my inspiration, and I aim to bring that same sense of joy to people through my work. Phil Atkin

Hayley questions where freedom for our unique individuality has gone and hopes to inspire us to show our deeper selves though the wearing of Art and bringing shape and movement to our bodies.
These high-end beautiful pieces of art have been and will be created with an intention that is then infused stitched within the garment in a ritualistic way of calling in the ancestors and may reveal stories and meaning for the wearer.

Farnworth & Cole
Silk scarves lovingly designed in England and made in Italy. From a very early age, Alison loved to paint and draw and took her inspiration from nature and her surroundings in Somerset. In her mid-twenties she completed a Fine Art degree specialising in painting. A few years after graduating she was given a bag of tapestry wool and canvas by a neighbour and was immediately drawn to the rich vibrancy and warm texture of the wool. She began to stitch. After years of stitching and unpicking Alison eventually perfected a pointillist way of stitching which meant she could create a GLPHQVLRQDO WRQDO Há&#x201A;&#x2021;HFW WR KHU ZRUN 6KH DOVR captured a unique quality stitching colours so close in value next to one another that the work glows. It is achieving this quality which now makes wool her medium of choice. In 2013 Alison was delighted to be commissioned to produce a series of pieces for Ehrman Tapestries. These commissions rekindled her interest in the natural world often choosing subjects unseen RU XQNQRZQ EXW ÂżQGLQJ D EHDXW\ LQ WKHP DQG translating this to needlepoint. In her research for her stitched pieces, she also discovered the plight of so many creatures, many of them under threat, or facing extinction. Raising awareness of threatened creatures has also become a theme in her work and it will be developed further with Farnworth & Cole.
The Open-Winged Jewel Beetle with Border Scarf
The Adonis Ladybird Scarf
The story of our silk scarves begins and ends in a single stitch. Each scarf originates in a intricate needlepoint design, which is then carefully photographed and edited and translated into pattern and digital print. The scarves are made to the very highest quality in Como, Italy using both generations of expertise and the very latest print technology.
Becoming increasingly aware of the creative potential of technology, Alison recently began her exploration into extending the creative process of her work into print. The challenge was to be able to reproduce her work without compromising the integrity of the original stitched piece. Early in 2017 she discovered the silk industry and print expertise in Como, Italy. She founded Farnworth & Cole and began to work on producing KHU ÂżUVW UDQJH RI VLON VFDUYHV

100% Silk and Cashmere-Modal scarves designed in the World Heritage city of Bath and printed in a small design workshop in India. My art is inspired, in equal measure, by the beautiful city of Bath where I live and the great folk traditions of India, where I grew up. This cultural blend has resulted in a unique style that is at once modern and deeply rooted. I primarily draw freehand and then digitally assemble my drawings in repeat patterns. These patterns are often hard to disentangle, making them visually compelling and ideally suited to large surfaces. I initially trained at home, learning the traditional Indian technique of Tanjore Painting from my grandmother. My deepened interest in the history and theory of art led me to degrees in the History of Fine Art from Stella Maris in Chennai and then a BFA in Illustration from the renowned Savannah College of Art and Design. However, it was my masters project at Bath Spa University’s MA in Brand Management that set me on my current path to become a surface pattern designer.

Through this successful campaign, I have shipped my scarves to happy customers all over the world.

Hand Crafted
The original ideas are carved directly from a single wooden block or two pieces joined together to create a hollow form, in the case of the vessels, usually in oak. Starting from a sketch it can take months to carve a single piece especially when working with green wood as it has to be dried carefully and slowly to avoid splitting.
Sculptural furniture and objects from wood and bronze. Born in Yorkshire, I studied furniture making at Leeds College of Art and Design, which included two work placements at Ecole Boulle in Paris.

I design and make homewares and gifts, inspired by nature. My images start out as drawings and paintings, and develop in to patterns for fabric printing and screen printing. Born in Elgin, Scotland in 1983. I studied for a BA in Printmaking at Grays School of Art in Aberdeen, and went on to study for a Masters in Printmaking at the Royal College of Art in London in 2004. After graduating from the RCA, I continued making work from my London studio, and I also went on to teach printmaking at London Print Studio.

I set up Particle Press after discovering a love for fabric printing, and have recently rediscovered painting which has allowed my work to be translated in to full colour fabric designs. Screen printing still remains at the crux of my practice, and I enjoy making small collections of prints to sell alongside my digitally produced fabrics.
They are then translated in to bright uplifting patterns, which I turn in to lampshades, cushions, tea towels and stationery.
I am now based in the countryside, just outside Falmouth in Cornwall, where I design and make my work. I also run a programme of workshops throughout the year, teaching my love of screenprint to all ages.

Purmoren Crafts
Hand Crafted
Purmoren Crafts is based in Cornwall and produces handmade stoneware ceramics with the essence of Japan. So named after the Cornish translation for Kathryn – ‘Pure Maiden’. Originating from London, Kathryn has gradually moved further south; settling in Cornwall in 2001. Kathryn returned to education following several years of working in the banking industry, choosing Truro and Penwith College to complete a BTEC in Art and Design with a triple distinction. After 5 years of creative studying and graduating from Falmouth University, in 2013, Kathryn focused on being an established crafts person and a member of the creative family at Krowji, Redruth.
Stoneware Jar (Willow Copper String Brush Detail)
Porcelain Chopstick Rests
Currently entering her next chapter, Kathryn has relocated to work in a new space and focus on some new projects. Having exhibited her work at various places around Cornwall, Kathryn is currently part of the Poly Guild (Falmouth), Truro Arts (Truro), Herringbone (Polperro) and The Lane Gallery (Truro).
Kathryn Watson’s work is mostly made from Cornish Stoneware and is mainly depicting a Japanese essence i.e. sushi platters, teapots, tea bowls and sake sets. In addition to these stoneware items she also produces porcelain rice bowls and chopstick rests from porcelain slip and other functional everyday items such as mugs, bowls and pots.
Kathryn also exhibited her work at Carcadden Gardens in Trellisick, Feock, a National Trust property. The ‘Dancing Willow’ sculpture was there for over 3 years. There are still times when willow is incorporated in her work i.e. handles for her teapots. Kathryn’s work is inspired by the simplicity of a range of Japanese ceramics which was introduced to her when studying her BTEC in Art and Design. The work she produces is an emblem of Japanese subtlety and transience, and although she is a perfectionist sometimes likes to work outside of her comfort zone.

I’m a woodworker and metalworker, based in Cornwall, creating furniture and homewares that echo the simple beauty of Japanese and Scandinavian design. It’s all in the detail - the craftsmanship, the honesty and the functionality of products that make more of your everyday. After studying a year of Contemporary Crafts BA at Falmouth University I decided to focus solely on woodwork, taking up a carpentry apprenticeship IRU WZR \HDUV DQG WKHQ ¿QGLQJ P\VHOI D ZRUNVKRS locally. My workshop is based on a farm in West Cornwall, surrounded makers and artists. My environment has inspired me to look at other materials and encouraged me to learn to weld and explore metalwork. This ability to combine materials has been the basis for my new furniture collection. I have exhibited across the UK at London Design Fair, The Contemporary Craft Festival in Bovey Tracey and Newlyn Art Gallery and the Devon Guild of Craftsmen.
My work is strong in style and elegant in form. I work with both timber and steel, from planing to welding, sanding to grinding. I combine materials to create elegant structural forms. My pieces are made to last and made to be used, time and time again.

Emmeline Simpson
Emmeline Simpson is an artist/designer producing unique contemporary souvenirs and gifts inspired by British cities and made in Britain. In her home town of Bristol back in 2009, Emmeline felt that her city wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being celebrated enough. She began to see a demand for high quality contemporary souvenirs inspired by the city as well as functional products for peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homes which celebrate their own personal memories of landmarks that are special to them. After selling her greetings cards to gift shops in Bristol, she began to incorporate her iconic collage images into a range of products including tea towels, mugs, stationery, as well as high quality melamine placemats and coasters, all produced in small factories in the UK.

Her London range brings together the well-known tourist sites of Tower Bridge, Parliament Square and Piccadilly Circus, as well as featuring well loved and favourite haunts of Londoners themselves such as Kew Gardens, Hampton Court, Borough Market, and Carnaby Street. She hopes that her work will be enjoyed as much by those who live in the cities she depicts as those who are passing through or have moved on. People have a strong connection with the cities and places where they live, and by giving a gift to someone featuring that place, they are celebrating a memory they had together, The idea behind her products is they are functional objects, so rather than having a piece of artwork on your wall, it can be incorporated into a product that can be used in everyday life.

The Pattern Book curates vintage graphics from art, literature and science and re-purposes them into everyday greetings cards. Partners Nick Crowe and Neil Baber both have an eye for the unusual. With a passion for art history and ideas, they share the key tasks of curating, re-purposing and designing greetings cards for internationally recognised brands. Finding images they can adapt into cards not only requires painstaking research but a great deal of luck. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always looking for original images that might strike a chord with customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hobbies, interests and intellectual pursuits, and it can take days to strike it lucky in any particular archive or library.

Laura Stoddart
Laura Stoddartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s distinctive and beautiful work has made her one of the most admired of British illustrators. Laura Stoddart was born in Liverpool in 1971. She grew up in rural Cheshire and always wanted to be an illustrator. After studying at Brighton University and the Royal College of Art she began her career with a commission from the Royal Mail for the 1996 Christmas stamps, the youngest professional artist ever to have designed a set of stamps. Since then she has worked for a broad range of clients, from Gardens Illustrated and Crabtree & Evelyn to Portmeirion and Unicef, in all areas of design and illustration.

The Cuddledry baby apron towel attaches around your neck like an apron, so both hands are free. Lifting baby up out of the bath is easy and safe, as you naturally wrap up baby in your arms and cuddle them dry, strengthening the bond between you. The cosy hood goes over their head to keep them warm. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to think about holding a towel at all. Cuddledry was founded by Polly Marsh and Helen Wooldridge, two friends and both working mums. They realised that every parent faced the same juggling act at bath time, trying to hold a baby with two hands whilst also holding a towel and wrapping them up warm. Many parents cited this moment as the most stressful moment of all. Polly and Helen realised there was a very simple solution and set about designing a â&#x20AC;&#x153;hands freeâ&#x20AC;? towel - enabling parents to safely lift and cuddle baby without having to hold up a towel. Natural. Simple. Safe. The product was snapped up by Mothercare and WKH 1&7 DW WKHLU ÂżUVW WUDGH VKRZ DQG DGYLVHG it was the best product at the show. They were asked to go on Dragons Den, where 3 of the Dragons wanted to invest all the money, but the girls turned them down, proving their product hugely successful. Since then most major retailers have stocked The Cuddledry, and the range has expanded to include bath time products and accessories for children up to age 6, including toddler towels, hair towels, wash cloths, natural sponges and chewable latex ducks. Over 50 awards have been won to date, including Mumsnet Best for 9 years running. This award is bestowed upon brands by parents and is not a competition entered by brand owners themselves, hence Cuddledry being particularly proud of this one. Cuddledry aspires to make bath time safe, simple, and fun - for everyone. &XGGOHGU\ ZDQW DOO SDUHQWV WR EHQHÂżW IURP WKLV VLPSOH EXW KXJHO\ Há&#x201A;&#x2021;HFWLYH SURGXFW DQG DUH involved in social enterprises to assist parents from poorer backgrounds in India and inner cities in the UK.
Cuddledry attaches to the parent/carer around the neck, giving parents two hands free to safely lift baby into your arms. Simply wrap towel up around the baby and there is a hood to keep them warm. Parents can cuddle them dry naturally in their arms. The whole process takes a second or two. The towel is double the size of most baby towels and lasts years, rather than months so is excellent value for money. When the parent wants to put baby down, there is no need to unwrap the baby or untie anything behind the back or neck - the poppers are located on the shoulder at the front of the product, enabling a simple pull to release the towel, all the while safely holding onto baby in your arms. Baby stays warm, and parents stay dry. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truly the most simple and natural thing in the world. Even when baby starts walking, parents continue to use the Cuddledry as a large toddler towel with a hood. The whole product is double layered - to trap air - making the Cuddledry much warmer than a normal single layer towel. The towel is made using a special blend of bamboo and cotton. Bamboo ensures the product is super soft which is great for babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skin. Bamboo is also much more absorbent than cotton so great for a towel, and is naturally anti-bacterial and eco-friendly (being the most sustainable crop on the planet, requiring no irrigation, pesticides or fertilizers). No wonder Cuddledry has won so many awards and is the number one baby bath towel in the UK.
