Glass Artists |
Current Previous shows |
|
 |
Peter Layton – Self-taught as a glassmaker, Peter was originally trained in ceramics before finding inspiration in the demanding medium of hot glass. His London workshop is one of the most highly regarded in Europe and is known for its vibrant use of colour and form. |
|
 |
James Maclachlan – James’ innovative use of glass produces cascades of bright colour in delicately formed bowls. |
|
Ceramicists |
||
 |
Wendy Lawrence – Wendy’s hand built pieces have a rough-hewn, geological feel, emphasised by layers of glazes and unconventional textures. Inspired by the look of eroded rocks and prehistoric artefacts, her work is an exploration of mankind’s relationship with nature. |
|
 |
Jonathan Keep – Born in South Africa, moved to England in 1986. The soft organic shapes of Jonathan’s pots give them a soft and tactile appearance, belying the hard material from which they are crafted. | |
 |
Jack Doherty – In the past 30 years Jack has exhibited his ceramics all over Europe. His work marries traditional forms with contemporary details. | |
 |
Anna Lambert – All of Anna’s work is handbuilt and is intended to be used. Her attention to detail and subtle glazing gives each piece a life of its own. | |
 |
Alice Palser – Suffolk-based sculptor Alice was born in Kenya and much of her work is informed by her childhood memories of Africa and its people. This can be seen in her evocative figures, based on nomadic tribesmen. | |
 |
Matthew Blakely – Matthew’s work uses fluid glazes and is often tilted to give a sense of a moment caught in time. A range of Matthew’s work can be seen, including some recent handbuilt pieces. | |
| Jackie Plaister – Jackie works mainly in stoneware with an emphasis on relating figurative design and decoration to the form. | ||
Painters |
||
 |
Stuart Green – A former head of art at the King’s School Ely, Stuart’s landscapes record his love of scenery and the textures that inspire his work. Paintings from home and Australia will be shown. |
|
 |
Sula Rubens – Inspired by the Suffolk Coast, Sula’s work uses layers of different media to capture the ever changing nature of the landscape. Sail-forms and textures meet in an abstracted vision of water and weather. | |
 |
Anthony Nicholson – A Cambridge painter, Anthony’s abstract work is inspired by the sights and sounds of nature. After years of working from his observations, he is able to externalise the essence of the subject by drawing on his experience. | |
Printmakers |
||
 |
Clive Dillistone – Clive produces landscapes and interior studies using a combination of traditional and digital techniques. His works show humour and pathos in their wide plains of colour. |
|
We shall also be showing a new collection of jewellery by Dorothy Erickson, Gill Forsbrook, Claire Lowe, and Clair Tucker and Rolf Bartz, stained glass by Sarah Hunt, Murano glass, sumptuous silk textiles by Clare Webster, stunning porcelain by Pippin Drysdale and fine bone china by Angela Mellor. |
