September – December 2023

Bill’s Workshop creates hand crafted goods for the home and garden with fire, sawdust and no small amount of head scratching! Making functional and captivating pieces with the use of stunning English hardwoods and the never-ending possibilities of steel.

Creativity can not only be an attribute, but a skill; something that can be honed and trained. This is something I strive to develop with each new project whether it’s a commissioned garden gate or a life size flower sculpture. Keeping ideas as original and unique as possible though Blacksmithing and Woodwork is a beautiful challenge to have.

Debbie Page

September – December 2023

I was introduced to the joy of working with clay at school but it took another 20 years before I had the opportunity to really get to grips with the whole world of pottery. I started with evening classes with Shelley, moving on to 2 City & Guilds courses with wonderful, knowledgeable, encouraging teachers where I developed an obsession with making teapots, fell in love with Jomon pottery, spent a lot of time and effort learning to throw on the wheel only to discover, once I’d cracked it, that I prefer hand-building. I also completely by chance found the pottery love of my life – the Korean Moon Jar.

She works in different media and often builds her paintings up in layers.

The last 12 months have seen her exploring collage layers of paper and paint, as well as painting some of the iconic buildings in her hometown of Oxford. Her originals have found homes all over the world and she also has a range of limited edition prints from her paintings.

Paintings by Sarah Hanner Hopwood Paintings by Sarah Hanner Hopwood Paintings by Sarah Hanner Hopwood
Sarah Hanner Hopwood

September – December 2023

I'm inspired by the hills of Wales, the majestic Scottish Highlands and Islands, and colours of the Mediterranean. My love of the outdoors and a connection with the elements motivates my landscapes which are layered using collage, watercolour and cotton stitching. Occasionally some gold or silver leaf brings a splash of glimmer. My style of blending colours is achieved by playing with found objects and household items and a great deal of experimentation!

I work full time in the NHS so painting is part time for now. I regularly exhibit across Oxfordshire and am delighted that my new work is part of The Potter's Wheel's collection.

Seascapes by Claire Howlett Seascapes by Claire Howlett Seascapes by Claire Howlett
Claire Howlett

May – August

My inspiration is derived from the natural world. Its wildness. For me, there is always something majestic to be found in our landscape, whether it be those almost transcendental, ethereal summer days or a wild, blustery coastline under a bruised sky. This is what I try and capture in my work.

I portray the mood of a place, its essence. This is painted in a non- representational way.

For me, the energy that is born from the sense of a place is what inspires the work. I don’t paint a specific location in a traditional manner, more try and translate the mood, the light; the soul, if you will.

CracktPot Jo

May – August

I recreate broken and unwanted china into beautiful new, reloved objects for the home and garden.

This form of mosaic making is called pique assiette which translates to "stolen plate". Unlike traditional mosaics using china means there is always a certain...uncertainty on how the ceramic will break. Generally the older the plate the more unpredictable, I rather like that.

Also the makers' back stamps become little gems in themselves to be celebrated. By respecting the history and returning value to the old, used and unwanted, a piece can become a piece of memory ware.

May – August

Environmental concerns are becoming increasingly prevalent within society, my approach to illustration blends the necessity of sustainability with a decorative eye for detail.

I draw inspiration from natural history illustration, vintage fashion, and textile design, culminating in a unique visual language which I wish to inspire hope for the future of our planet.

My main passion lies in painting fauna and flora, particularly endangered species, in a rich array of colours to capture one's imagination and transport you into the heart of the wilderness.

May – August

I handcraft a range of jewellery made from recycled sterling silver and other materials. These include seaglass and pottery, and stones' such as Fordite ('gemstones' made from waste products of car manufacture), Surfite (surfboard production) and Bowlerite (repurposed bowling balls).

My work is handcrafted by me in my home workshop. My pieces are simple, delicate and often inspired by adventures in the great outdoors and the need to protect our planet.

I also make a range of personalised jewellery, repurposing old and unwanted silver into a new generation of family keepsakes.

I'm working hard to become as eco conscious as possible, and I'm loving the journey of discovery.
