Barbara Lawrence

I’m Barbara & all of my pottery is both ‘everyday’ functional & decorative, depicting quirky little birds, rams or heart and flower details on a spotty background of a delicious, soft ‘denimy’ blue. Everything has been entirely made by hand, by me, in my tiny garden workshop.

Carole Sinclair-Smith

Carole Sinclair-Smith works in silver and semiprecious gemstone beads. Etching using Nitric acid features in a lot of her work and she feels that she has found her ‘niche’ in making hollow pressed forms from sheets of etched silver. The two halves are soldered together forming large beads used as the focal point of much of her jewellery.

James Milborrow

James started sculpting almost 40 years ago but what started as a hobby soon became a profession and for the last 20 years or so he has exhibited in gardens and galleries across the country. Works have been sold to companies as well as to private collectors across the globe from Australia and Hong Kong to the United States of America and there is even an African Black Heron resident in South Africa !

Louisa Crispin

Louisa Crispin grew up in Sissinghurst – Kent, looking out across the countryside with views of the North Downs on a clear day and the changing weather reflected in the colours and patterns of the outlook. Leisure time was spent in the woods, orchards and hop fields surrounding her where she absorbed a knowledge and love of nature.

Marie Prett

Marie’s interest in the human and animal form has been there from her earliest memories of drawing and painting. It has lasted through six years of art education where every design project was given a figurative twist however ‘functional’ the intention.

Sarah Turrell

Born in Hertfordshire in 1958 Sarah trained as a classical musician, turning to pottery in her early thirties.

The inspiration for the shape of her forms is primarily derived from the contours of flower heads, and the colours from the ever changing effects of light on land, water and sky.
