Stuart Green

A painter of landscapes, Stuart’s work records the enjoyment of being in a particular place, as well as the marks that both man and nature leave on the land. Influenced by the fenland geography, his colourful acrylic images show huge skies and narrow strips of fields. In more recent work, Stuart has incorporated traditional patterns found in patchwork textiles.

Ben Green

It is by studying and depicting wild birds that Ben gains the close understanding of them that informs his work. His paintings capture moments in time and the interplay between the birds – an approach inspired by the nineteenth century impressionists. Whilst he travels around the British Isles in search of subjects, his primary inspiration is the birdlife of the Fens and the Norfolk coast.

Ceramics

Clare Conrad

Clare’s work is an exploration of colour and texture, inspired by the effects of light and ageing on architecture, artefacts and landscape. Her technique of layering vitreous slip onto wheel-thrown vessels provides a rugged texture, contrasted with a satin-matt glazed interior.

Jill Fanshawe Kato

Jill first learnt ceramics in Japan, where she was inspired by the handmade ceramics that were a part of everyday life. Her work is inspired by the natural world and by travel. She continues to exhibit in Japan and internationally.

Jackie Plaister

Jackie's work is based around wheel thrown earthenware vessels, combining fanciful figurative ornamentation into otherwise traditional shapes. Her aim is to create birdlike forms, without limiting her work to strict representation.

Sculpture

Janet Bowman

After a successful period as a watercolourist exhibiting with The Society of Botanical Artists, Janet moved into sculpture. The majority of her work is inspired by nature, though she has recently been commissioned to produce works for the bicentenary of the Battle of Trafalgar. She produces works in either clay or wax that are then cast in bronze.

Glass

Tolly Nason

Originally trained in textiles, Tolly’s glass art is inspired by often overlooked aspects of nature. Her use of different techniques allows her to extract and express the beauty of the glass, presented in a raw and beautiful state.

Jewellery

Genna Delany

Winner of a Precious Metal Bursary Award from the Goldsmith's Company, Genna makes tactile, playful and sculptural jewellery in silver and gold. Her work is influenced by architectural forms with and emphasis on movement.

A founder member of the Centrepiece group, Anna specializes in bird jewellery. Her work has a dramatic two-tone effect in oxidized/polished silver, which echoes her earlier work in print.

Kathryn Pearce

Trained as a glass artist and glassblower, Kathryn’s ‘twisted’ glass jewellery exhibits her passion for light as well as her skill with the medium.
