Roger
Harris
Roger Harris has always drawn and is in awe of artists who have taken a delight in drawing such as Picasso, Hockney, Leonard Baskin, Ben Shahn and the naïve artists, Edward Hicks, Alfred Wallis and Bryan Pearce, for their mastery of line and strong sense of design. He finds them all inspirational. For Roger, mezzotint is the most beautiful form of printmaking with its deep rich surface, and drawn images can in some lights appear and disappear giving a mystery to the work. These are the things he likes to explore, to give the viewer many levels of experience.
Rowan MacGregor
Rowan MacGregor makes delicate copper wreaths and other creations. She is inspired by her love of the British countryside and nature and this is reflected in her work. Each wreath is different and unique - Rowan want them to look like pressed flowers or bits of buried treasure that have been dug up after hundreds of years underground.
Rowan’s wreaths have been featured in Homes & Gardens, Ideal Home, Period Living, The Telegraph, Country Living and Landscape magazine.
Ginny le Bailey
Ginny Le Bailey lives and works just outside Hay and makes colourful, contemporary iridescent earrings and necklaces using dichroic glass.
Jane Littlefield
Jane’s work consists of stained glass panels that have multi – layered, painted glass images that are inspired by the Peak District, its nature, history and folklore.
"I use images of creatures, landscape features and organic motifs to create these glass panels."
The glass is hand painted using traditional stained glass paints and translucent enamels, often using many layers and textures, that are fired in the kiln. They are assembled using lead and solder.
Richard Wilson
Richard Wilson was born and brought up in Norwich, and has been making pots since the early 1970s. After studying for two years at Great Yarmouth College of Art, he worked from 1974 to 1980 at Le Dieu Pottery in Norwich before spending 3 years in Australia and New Zealand, and a further five in Germany, working with many potters using different techniques, in particular woodfired saltglazes.
Whilst in Germany, Richard spent some time with potters whose work drew from Eastern European designs, and has himself been especially inspired by Hungarian and Romanian slipware from the 1800s. He has also been strongly influenced by the Cardew tradition of English country pottery, having spent some months working at Wenford Bridge in the 1980s, learning about the strengths and subtleties of Cardew’s work.
