Norma Atherton Ceramics Norma Atherton Ceramics Norma Atherton Ceramics 1/1 My interest in clay started as a hobby whilst my children were growing up and later, to make it my career, I studied B Tech Design Craft Ceramics at Norfolk College of Arts and Technology. I joined Northern Potters Association, then East Anglian Potters, and later became an Associate member of the Craft Potters Association. The contacts and exchanges made at meeting with these groups both helped and stimulated me to open Westfield Pottery. I became very interested in smoke fired pots, and was inspired by the shapes of early Neolithic pottery found in parts of the British Isles and pottery from Northern Nigeria. I was also fascinated by the decoration made by smoke and have always admired the work of the Hopi Indians of Arizona. I have exhibited my coil built, burnished smoke fired pots at numerous venues with East Anglian Potters, also at Clay Works VI , and at the Victoria and Albert Museum with the Craft Potters Association. I also enjoyed being part of ‘Picture This’ at the Norfolk and Norwich Festival. A move to Holland enabled me to exhibit abroad, and during this time I gained a Workshop Ceramic Certificate at Westminster University. When I returned to England I obtained a teaching diploma, and taught Adult education evening classes and B Tech students at Norfolk College. Following a move to Somerset I took a break from making smoke fired pots but still continued working with clay, focussing on slab building, throwing, mold making and slip casting, and I obtained a certificate from The Sculpture School. I then started teaching again in my workshop at Grattons Farm. I have recently been developing new ideas for my smoke fired work, I am now a member of West Country Potters Association and have exhibited with them at Bovey Tracy and Tavistock Ceramic Craft Fair. I am constantly developing new ideas and enjoy teaching and passing on skills, and I look forward to exhibiting as a member of North Somerset Arts.

Jennifer Davidson Painting/Drawing Jennifer Davidson Painting/Drawing Jennifer Davidson Painting/Drawing 1/1 After many years working as a Fashion artist, designer and cutter in London and Paris I set up a Curtain Design Studio for an Interior Designer who had billionaire clients all round the world who wanted individual and elaborate curtains in their many homes. I was also sent to Kevin McCloud (of Grand Designs on TV) who was then teaching Paint Finishes so I was then sent to these exotic homes (e.g. Switzerland and India) to paint their interior walls with rag-rolling, stippling, sponging, stencilling etc. For some time I had been part of a painting group on a Monday at Barry Paine’s Studio in Chew Stoke which I much enjoyed so when in 1992 we had a recession and I wasn’t getting much work I went to UWE to study Fine Art. Since then I have exhibited widely including the Royal Academy and Mall Galleries in London. My work is in many private collections around the world, such as Japan, Jamaica and New Zealand. I am a member of the Bath Society of Artists and a founder member of the North Somerset Arts Week. I have been very fortunate indeed to have succeeded at something I can continue to enjoy.

Trish Williams Painting/Drawing Trish Williams Painting/Drawing Trish Williams Painting/Drawing 1/1 My art is fairly diverse as I’m continually inspired by different threads/directions, which could mean I’m working on an oil portrait one week or a collage the next. Collages are created using hand-painted papers and acrylics. Each collage begins with many sketches, a general composition and plan but usually evolves into something completely different. Each painting is a delightful journey of unexpected outcomes. Like many artists, the natural world is my biggest source of inspiration and I’m particularly drawn to painting birds and other wildlife.

Janet Haigh Textile Art Janet Haigh Textile Art Janet Haigh Textile Art 1/1 I am a professional designer-maker; applied artist, researcher, lecturer whatever you want to call me - I stitch stuff by hand: fabric, paper, metal, vitreous enamel. I am fascinated and stimulated by materials and colour. Hand stitching is slow work, whatever the material, giving time for reflection and the development of ideas. I am fascinated by trying to get beneath the surface appearance of things, often using symbols and emblems to hint at what lies beneath the seemingly innocent and beautiful. I will exhibit a series of stitched flowers and sea-scapes that have been inspired by my immediate surroundings; and Giclee prints of these works for sale. Also a Studio Sale of various fabrics with lengths of cotton prints by the Kaffe Fasset Collective.

Suzy Hannabuss Glass Suzy Hannabuss Glass Suzy Hannabuss Glass 1/1 I began my glass journey over 15 years ago when I took a lampworking class at a glass studio in Bath and fell in love with lampworking straight away. Lampworking is a type of glasswork where a torch is primarily used to melt glass. The glass I use comes in rod form and many different colours. Once in a molten state, the glass is formed by blowing, stretching, and shaping many layers with tools and hand movements on a steel rod to form a bead. They are then slowly cooled in a digitally controlled kiln, known as annealing. Annealing of glass is an important process of slowly cooling hot glass objects after they have been formed, to relieve residual internal stresses introduced during making of the bead. These one-of-a-kind glass beads I make are then used in making my bespoke jewellery. I mainly use sterling silver findings in my jewellery but also gold vermeil and different coloured copper wire and findings. I will also make European style big hole beads, Christmas ornaments and other home decorations.
