I am a self taught stone sculptor, working in a variety of different stones. I am drawn by the simplicity of this most ancient craft. I use no power tools or toxic chemicals, just stone, - the raw body of Mother Earth, mallet, chisels, presence of mind and awareness of body. It is a slow process, and in a hurried, noisy sometimes chaotic world, the stone speaks to me always of the value of patience, perseverance and stillness. My inspiration comes from shamanic dreams, ancient folklore and mythology. But at the core of my work lies a deep wonder and respect for the Earth, the wild and wonderful creatures who roam it and the deep Mystery that encompasses all. I like to think there is a lot of LOVE in my work,  -  for that is the feeling I have when i create. Each piece I make is unique and some can be quite a journey, or have their own story to tell.  I find in every stone a secret waiting to be born, a silent beauty, a hidden power, a shard of lost wisdom. Something that perhaps was always there but lain forgotten under the rock of ages, slowly reveals itself with quiet dignity.  Stone carving is a magical process, a meditative and spiritual practice for me. It is Alchemy.. it is my prayer.

Lynn enjoys working in both two and three dimensions and works with both hot and cold glass using its unique optical qualities as a means of expression and communication.  Her work revolves around the underlying themes of ‘movement and change’ and much of her work has a hidden meaning. Lynn’s glass daisies make a bold statement in any garden along with an element of fun.  They glisten with droplets of rain after a passing shower and remind us how important water is both to us and the survival of our planet.  Her cocoons trap air inside the glass, in effect trapping a moment in time.

Alison is a sculptor, working in mainly fused glass and wire and a mix of media.  She has a particular fondness for fish, taking inspirations from scuba diving.   The shine of glass has the same feel as looking at creatures in water and there is a seemingly unlimited range of colours and shapes to experiment with.  She uses coloured frits to ‘paint’ the fish and uses wire to provide a three dimensional feel to the sculpture, define the edges and provide a fish like sparkle in sunshine.  She also takes inspiration from the wonderful, interesting and sometimes impossible looking shapes a body can form, particularly dancers and gymnasts.

Louise V Durham works with traditional stained glass techniques and glass fusing to create her sculptures.  Her pieces find homes in gardens large and small, and in a wide variety of settings, including interiors. They are best placed where light can shine through them, either natural light by day or artificial at night.  Sculptures are constructed from materials that are designed to withstand all weathers. Almost all  are made from recycled greeheart timber; glass pieces aretraditionally leaded and soldered and fixed with a glue that with stands extreme temperatures. They can be placed in open ground with steel rods fixed into the base or on circular steel stands for hard surfaces.

Hi my name is Timothy Elms and I live in Leicestershire with my wife & four sons . I have not had any formal training in art or sculpturing , everything I do is self taught always learning and evolving of each piece I create , you could say I'm serving my own apprenticeship. At the moment I am designing sculptures for the home and garden, I mostly work with reclaimed slate. I like to create abstract sculpture's like my spheres but I have also created more figurative pieces I.e the female/male torso which shows smooth outlines with having a rough texture. I have found something that I completely love to do and more so the challenge of creating something that i haven't done before and learning along the way, sometimes it's not all about the end result but the journey in between. Patience is the key and this one of the main factors in creating my sculptures taking a lot of hours from the idea in my head to the finished sculpture.  My sculptures are Endless in design, calming in presence and visually capture people's imagination and would look beautiful in any home/garden. www.elmzy.com

After a short evening course on basic welding at Holme Lacey college in 2011, I found it was something I could do & very much enjoyed doing;  I haven't stopped making steel items since.  After work & in my spare time I started making figurative pieces using found materials, mostly for close family birthday & Christmas presents.  A friend asked if I would put a life size Billy Goat in an exhibition at Gloucester Cathedral; it was well received & from that I started getting commissions.  I started putting my work in local exhibitions & sold enough to build & fully kit out my workshop.  In 2013 I had enough ongoing work to make Sculpture my full time employment.  I take my ideas from childhood, the countryside & everyday life; sometimes the materials themselves give me a concept.  Recently I have done abstract work using large industrial architectural steels.  I get a lot of pleasure from people's reaction to my work.

Dorota Rapacz studied sculpture at The Academy of Fine Art in Warsaw. Her artwork is figurative, sometimes is about likeness and beauty, and at other times, it tells a story about feelings.  Her style depends on the subject and material matter. It can be very detailed or quite a sketchy impression. She has been working with clay and plastilene recently – rather than wood or stone – and casting in bronze, plaster or jesmonite. She specialise in making moulds and casting other sculptors’ work, as well as holds drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, mould-making and casting classes in In the studio together with her husband, sculptor and draughtsmen, painter and printmaker Antony Dufort.

I make musical, interactive, illuminated sculptures out of wood, blow moulded glass and guitar strings. They are geometric experiments that allow viewers to experiment with their own geometric taste, their attraction to natural, organic forms and their subsequent fondness for traditional ornamental styles.  The guitar strings can be plucked and there are often levers and tuning devices to allow further interaction with the sculptures. The strings act as a reference or dialectical datum for the viewers to test their propensity for the natural shapes of the wood. Recently, I have been working on 3 different series that incorporate blow moulded glass vessels: the Balletic Goniometers, Ligament Goniometers and Tendon Goniometers. They are surrealist, spatial measuring apparatuses that use tension, resonance and light to test the deteriorating flexibility in a ballet dancer's joints, ligaments and tendons.www.jacksawbridge.com

I founded The Clay and Glass Studio, at Wagon Yard, London Rd, Marlborough, shortly after completing theCeramics with Glass BA Course at High Wycombe in 1998.
I moved to Ogbourne St. George in 2001 and established The Glass Studio,where I teach and exhibit  my work. My passion is to create unique and individual glass art  and I have been described as “a glass designer and maker of distinctive kiln-formed and stained glass, creating stunning glass forms that are both functional and decorative”. I use a variety of glass making techniques: hot glass, kiln-formed glass, stained glass, and all the methods used in glass making. Having learnt them, I now enjoy passing on my experience to others. www.jeannettetherrien.com

Victoria Westaway creates bespoke willow and wire sculptures in the barn next to her Herefordshire cottage on the hill, the sculptures, both figurative and abstract reflect the ebb and flow of the horticultural year.  These willow and wire artworks provide form and focus to any garden design, a Victoria Westaway piece is designed to celebrate the diversity of the area and enrich both wild and structured surroundings. The sculptures are designed for outdoor situations and are used within designs and details in gardens across the Country. Victoria's commissions include works for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2014 and 2015 which have received both silver gilt and gold medal awards
"To work on pieces that are integrated within ground breaking schemes is extremely exciting, I thrive on putting a piece of Chelsea gold medal quality into gardens no matter their size"    Victoria Westaway hails from South Somerset, as a Theatre Designer Victoria used willow to produce giant puppets, lanterns and fantastical costumes. During an epic world trip Victoria was inspired to create her own sculpture by experiencing the crafts of small rural communities, who created both beautiful and functional pieces from the rich source of natural local materials.  www.victoriawestaway.co.uk
