Louise Darby – Ceramics and Photographs

Louise is exhibitor and host of this exciting exhibition to bring colour to a November weekend, and start you on your Christmas shopping. The artists share design elements and inspirational sources. Alongside her finely thrown stoneware and porcelain, Louise is exhibiting a group of colourful photographs from Laos to Lunga.

Brenda Boardman – textiles

Brenda exhibits her vibrant dimensional hangings that hold beautiful phrases from old poems, alongside her framed works and table lamps. She particularly enjoys using synthetic non-woven fabric that can be painted, stitched and melted to create beautiful organic patterns, yet holds its shape, colour and texture to make exciting artworks.

Sally Davies - paintings

Sally trained in textiles, worked as a freelance designer, then as an illustrator, before becoming a painter. Her paintings are colourful and vivid, using different media including inks, watercolours, acrylic and oil. Colour and decorative qualities combined with flattened perspective play an essential role, giving her work a distinctive style.

LoCo Glass - hand blown glass

LoCo have a fresh and innovative approach to glassmaking, their work is forward thinking, glass for the modern interior and exterior, with an emphasis on creative design and skilled craftsmanship. Each piece is hand blown without the use of moulds, and made in their characteristic style, using a variety of both traditional and modern techniques.

Jane Moore - jewellery

Colour is the most important aspect of Jane's work, each piece undergoes many processes including - photo etching, inlaying opalescent white enamel and applying layers of ceramic transfers, building up images with several firings. This bold innovative work, though a very difficult process, has taken Jane in a fresh and exciting direction

John Moore - jewellery

John uses silver and anodised aluminium, he has developed all his designs through the repetition of a single shape based on a beetle’s wing, Due to the random nature of the dyeing process he uses, each piece is unique in colour and pattern. He creates fluid, sensual forms, with organic movement and a delicate noise when worn.

Louise selects fellow exhibitors whose work reflect similar qualities/inspirational sources to her own and are at one with the very special environment of her venue.
