Mary McKean Glass Mary McKean Glass Mary McKean Glass 1/1 After making mosaics for many years, Mary now fuses glass. She makes bowls, coasters and individual display pieces. Her latest work is eclectic, abstract and inspired by many years spent living with a view of the often moody sea and sky in Brighton, the ever changing landscape, her love of the vibrant colours of Northern Italy and the fact that the glass has a mind of its own: opening the kiln sometimes brings surprises which can often lead the work in a new direction. She enjoys experimenting with new ideas and techniques. Website: http://marymckeanglass.uk Facebook: Instagram: http://instragram.com/marymckeanglass Email: mary@marymckeanglass.uk

Nick Whiting Sculpture Nick Whiting Sculpture Nick Whiting Sculpture 1/1 My sculpting life has taken a dramatic and new direction in the last two years. First, I was asked to do a statue of St Francis of Assisi for a friend. The outcome of this is that the figure I produced now lives in the communal gardens of a retirement home and is much loved by all who go to see him. Whilst doing this I was given a commission by a school in Accra, Ghana for three life size busts to represent the three people who founded the school 24 years ago. The school has established itself and is now very highly regarded in the education world. They are currently building an extension to the school and the busts will have a special part in the new building - cast in bronze, to be on permanent display for evermore!

Mandi Baykaa-Murray Painting/Drawing Mandi Baykaa-Murray Painting/Drawing Mandi Baykaa-Murray Painting/Drawing 1/1 Renowned for her creative use of feathers, Mandi, affectionately known as ‘The Feather Lady,’ crafts unique artworks that are as inspiring as they are beautiful. Utilising real moulted feathers as her canvas, each carefully collected for its unique beauty, Mandi applies delicate layers of acrylic paint to bring her intricate visions to life. Each piece is a testament to the synergy between natural beauty and artistic innovation - a piece of the natural world, transformed and reimagined. Mandi's works are a celebration of nature, emphasising sustainable artistry, turning found feathers into inspiring creations that resonate with nature lovers and art enthusiasts alike.

Emma Garland (Little Red Apple) Jewellery Emma Garland (Little Red Apple) Jewellery Emma Garland (Little Red Apple) Jewellery 1/1 I make geometric wooden jewellery, using sustainably sourced walnut wood. My work is influenced by my love of clean, crisp design and simple shapes. I enjoy using pops of cheerful colour to contrast with the wood. The wooden pieces I use to make my jewellery are laser cut by a Bristol company who translate my hand drawn sketches into real life wooden shapes. I then sand, paint, varnish and assemble my jewellery by hand in my garden studio in Portishead. I also design greetings cards for all occasions. I make the original art work as paper collages, incorporating my own pattern designs, which are then digitally printed on to eco-friendly card.
