Louise Brown Ceramics

Louise Brown Hares

Artists biography: At school I loved art, but the combination of having an uninspiring art teacher and the need for a career with a guaranteed monthly paycheque, I studied to become a radiographer. Over the years I became increasingly unfulfilled with the lack of creativity in my job so I decided to teach myself to paint, and gradually started selling my work in galleries and online, and began doning work for publishing companies.

Lindsey Tyson

Lindsey Tyson Tea Light Holder

Working from her studio in Scarborough, Lindsey's work is inspired and driven by the love of her surroundings and the combination of many and varied textile and art processes.

A weaver by trade, Lindsey has sidestepped into the world of felt making - creating a range of work that defies its description.  With her experiemental approach and stimulated by the challenge of utilizing and mixing of defferent media, mediums and techniques are explored beyond their perceived boundaries, resulting in a range of tactile and intriguing products for fashion and the home.

Linda Warrick Ceramics

Porcelaine by Linda Warrick

Linda Warrick has had a strong affinity to clay ever since, as a child, she first worked with it. She now works solely as a ceramic artist.

For the past 17 years, she has developed her work in porcelain, hand building semi-abstract birds. Each piece is burnished before firing, then smoked in sawdust. This results in the visual uniqueness of each piece along with an irresistible tectile appeal.

Hand turned wooden boxes by Kevin Hutson

Biography:  My first love of wood turning was in 1975 at the age of 18 when I served a five year apprenticeship in carpentry and joinery, having played chess during my lunch breaks I decided to make and carve my own chess pieces, I ended up selling that first set and a further two more, carving these pieces became time consuming to I decided to purchase a lathe, this is still the lathe I use today.

Kathryn Williamson Jewellery

Beautiful three charm pendant in sterling silver

Kathryn is based in Pittenweem, Scotland and her beautiful jewellery is hallmarked in Edinburgh. Kathryn's work draws from her sense of personal treasure trove - found objects and fragments of pottery, museum artefacts and pattern from collected and inherited  ceramics and fabric. Her work combines pattern or texture in a selection of unusual materials such as patterned papers/resin, beach pebbles, transparent enamel and semi precious stones.
