Lyn originates from Yorkshire where she trained to be a teacher. She moved to Leicestershire in the seventies and has been teaching and painting in Leicestershire since then.  She has exhibited with local galleries and has sold to the John Lewis group.

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.

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.
