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.

I am an artist working from my home in Bristol where I have lived since 2000. My work is inspired by images from nature and medieval  carvings. I am interested in the mythology of the Green Man and the imagery and mythology of labyrinths. When I work with a new piece of stone I feel a sense of excitement as each piece of stone has its own unique character and I can never be one hundred percent certain what I am going to find buried within the stone. I work with a range of different stone but most recent works have been in Bath Limestone which is relatively easy to carve and easy to source in the local area.  Some of my works are in private collections in the UK as well as abroad.  I trained in fine art under the sculptor Maurice Blik, between 1983 -1986 at Middlesex Polytechnic as it was then known(It has since become Middlesex University).After a long break due to family commitments and recent health issues I returned to my passion for stone carving in 2014 and had what I consider a very successful year.

The style of his work leans towards natural plant forms and is greatly influenced by the work of Antoni Gaudi in Barcelona. Andrew works in mild steel, stainless steel and bronze, and since becoming established in 1984,he has completed major architectural commissions worldwide, including a three and a half year project in Dubai. Andrew is also an international demonstrator and has recently been invited to the United States to teach aspects of his craft.

Inspired by nature, I work to enhance the environment in which my art glass pieces are placed. In a garden setting, coloured transparent glass allows glimpses of what lies beyond. As well as kiln-formed sculptural garden pieces, I also design and make fused glass panels for interior and exterior spaces. It can take many firings in my kiln to achieve the effect that I am looking for in the finished piece. I have work in private collections in this country and abroad.

I have worked as an artist for over ten years, primarily engaged in working three dimensionally. I specialise in life-size, paper maché dog sculptures, but have recently expanded my collection to include garden sculptures. My giant dragonflies are all individually made from one, 20 m, continuous length of galvanised wire, with wings made from colourful and vintage inspired fabrics, coated in multiple layers of resin. They are suspended on fishing line and this allows them to spin and dance in the breeze. They are fully waterproof but over the years, if left undisturbed, they do tend to weather. I have early examples in my garden that have become a home to mosses and lichens. I find their desire to revert back to nature fascinating and really quite beautiful! To complement these, and new this year are flower heads on copper stakes. Drawing inspiration from the dragonfly wings, they add colour and interest to your garden all year round! www.victoriahuntart.co.uk

Dilys Jackson’s works derive from the outer and inner environments within which she experiences a kinaesthetic relationship between the natural world of land or plant forms and processes and the forms and processes of the human body. Her physical and psychological reactions to the world about her produce works that, for her, are a metaphor for human existence. Her works echo the forms of plants, valleys, streams and the life that springs from them, just as they echo the masses, divisions, conflicts and life giving processes of humanity. The abstraction of her forms and the use of contrasting textures and materials in her drawings as well as her sculpture creates an ambiguity between their derivation and their presence.  www.dilysjackson.co.uk

I have been working in clay for well over ten years now.  Since 2011 I have concentrated on sculptural work, designed to be placed outside - although people seem to enjoy them in hallways, or conservatories equally. My aim is to invoke a sense of both joy and stillness in my work. I see this as a reflection of the chaos and order in nature itself which inspires me,  but also a reflection of the meditative, repetitive actions in refining a piece - which contrasts with the robustly physical side of working with clay.  I like my work to be both refined and to show the hand of the maker, so that people know they are experiencing something unique. Even in a series of similar items, I like to make additions of found objects, which often make people smile. Partly why I call my garden pieces 'Quirky Foliage' !  Possibly the best starting point is my website:

Clare Robertson works under the creative name of 'MissFire', also the name of her company established in 2008. Her vision for MissFire had led her to create work for a wide variety of clients, collaborate with an exciting array of talented artists, and build a business known for it's unique, fresh approach to an ancient craft. Inspiration is most often found in the beauty of the natural world. Her ability to imagine, design and manufacture pieces that satisfy the specific requirements and personal tastes of her customers has resulted in a vibrant collection of exciting, and often functional, works of art. Currently based at The Blacksmith's Shop in an ancient iron mine, MissFire has great respect for the history surrounding blacksmithing but believes the future of the craft lies within finding new ways to produce work, embracing new technology and offering clients quality and originality at a reasonable price.  www.missfire.co.uk

Since childhood I have loved making things with my hands and doing all kinds of art, but have had no formal art training. My early career was in Biology before my children came along, and it wasn’t until the 1980’s that I discovered clay modelling and started to make sculptures from life. Over the years I have drawn much inspiration from the great sculptors of the past especially Rodin, Degas, Marini and the portrait busts of Epstein.My sculpture has been exhibited in numerous galleries and exhibitions and I have work in many private collections. For the past 25 years I have been running Life Classes in the Wye Valley and Forest of Dean.

After I qualified as a stained glass maker in my native Hungary in 2002, I owned and ran a small business designing, making and installing stained, leaded and copper foil glass panels, lights, mirrors and works of art for commercial and private customers.In 2008 I moved to the United Kingdom, which brought about a shift towards contemporary glass art. I enjoy experimenting with new ideas and developing technical solutions. I love sharp contrasts and enjoy stepping away from glass as the primary medium and combine it with other media, such as metal and ceramic.I find eyes fascinating: we always look into someone else’s, and, every now and again, into or own eyes. The sea, where water runs into land is another important source of inspiration for me. I also like to make pieces that have a historic or art based theme.In my glasswork I use leaded glass and copper foil techniques. I usually combine glass and ceramic as the latter has a different texture from that of the glass surface and can add depth to works. I use clay to make elements that I could not make from glass, so that there is much more movement in my pieces.For my sculptures, I bend and weld the mild steel metal frames and then insert stained glass panels in them. I often work with lead sheets, too, using them both as elements of mixed media pieces and as the primary medium in others.

I am a member of the Society of Designer Craftsmen (2014), Surrey Sculpture Society (2013), Contemporary Glass Society (2010) and Surrey Artists Open Studios (2010). I have exhibited at a range of venues, mostly in Surrey but most recently at The Mall Galleries in London.
