@sianappleart

Sian Appleyard is a fine art printmaker based in Hampshire’s beautiful New Forest. A relocation to this ancient landscape has inspired Sian to explore the coastal and inland areas. This has lead to her observing and capturing in print, features of local life and also, a particular interest, patterns in the landscape brought about by man and nature as time passes.

@alitomlin

Ali's work is a collection of thrown, uncluttered porcelain forms. She throws and turns the pieces to a fine finish which, when unglazed and sanded, gives the clay a paper-like, tactile quality, to which marks can be applied. Ali works with the chalky surface, applying stains, oxides and slips, splashing and sponging away areas and inlaying lines while the pot is on the wheel.

Sue draws most of her inspiration from the changing seasons, patterns and textures found in the natural world as well as scenes and themes of industry and, in particular, the working farm next to her studio. These influence a range of sculpted and free-standing art glass.

Helen Banzhaf’s stitched textiles originate from her observations of everyday objects, more often than not, vessels. She explores their shapes and forms to create ‘landscapes’ of colour, pattern and texture. These pieces may allude quite clearly to the original forms or they may translate into purely abstract representations.
