Beca
Beeby
Beca Beeby is a maker living in the legend-rich landscape of Gwent, where she finds her inspiration in the small, beautiful details of the plants, insects and lichen that live in the landscape & her own garden.
Much of Beca’s work involves a study of morphogenetic pattern and structure: a phenomenon which is found on a cellular level right up to geological forms, and which is most recognisable in Beca’s Wild Honeycomb Collection, which begins its life as real honeycomb, carved and formed by hand, then cast in solid, reclaimed silver.
Beca’s background as a blacksmith and working with cast iron have influenced the contrasting finishes Beca uses on her jewellery, which is utilised to enhance the textures and makers marks, and which continue to develop and polish as they are worn.
Sue
Dunne
Sue’s work directly reflects her year-round fascination with natural history, particularly plant-life when it's wild. Over the months, seasons and years she has been building up a library of records in the form of moulds of pressed flowers, twigs, seeds, leaves, berries and feathers. Sue feels privileged that something as beautiful, but so flimsy and transient, as a flower can be given more permanence by her ceramic work. As well as through the colouration, the methods she uses ensures that each piece is a separate and individual work of art rather than using 'mass-produced' identical moulds. Everything is twice- fired, the colour being applied before the second (glaze) firing at just under 1100 degrees C.
Andrew
Waddington
Having grown up in a village in the vale of Aylesbury and later a fishing village on the South coast of Cornwall Andrew has had from an early age a strong sense of place, this combined with his interest in nature is at the heart of Andrew’s work.
After attending the Kings School Gloucester he studied at Dyfed and Falmouth Schools of Art. On leaving Andrew lived in the North Essex village of Great Saling for a year before returning to Cornwall in the early 80's, firstly to a farm on the North coast and then to Cotehele in the Tamar Valley where he now has a studio.
