 I have been making pots for over 40 years. Clay is a magical material. It amazes me that you can start with just a ball of soft, plastic clay and end up with a solid, durable item to use in your home everyday. |
 Harrison has already crafted a style that has become extremely hard to follow. His attention to detail and comfortability with technical drawing, combined with a philosophical outlook on life, makes Harrison’s artwork exceedingly decorative and hugely insightful to any open minded observer. |
 A local Portland artist working primarily with encaustic bees wax. I am drawn to the olfactory properties of this medium, the smell, the texture and the way it changes under heat. |
 Martyn is one of the UK’s leading abstract painters and printmakers. |
 I am driven by a lifelong fascination with the noise, energy and drama of all modes of transportation. There is an artistic vein that runs through my family, and as a child I was always busy with Lego, making models or drawing. |
 I always enjoyed drawing and painting as a child, but art took a back seat for many years as work, home and family took over my time. I always promised myself I would indulge my interest when I retired. |
 Claire is based in Christchurch, Dorset and has an MA in Three Dimensional Ceramics from the University of the Creative Arts, Farnham in Surrey. |
 My approach to painting has always been to look inside myself, rather than to interpret what goes in through my eyes. I make the paintings I want to see. |
 Graham produces a variety of artwork ranging from wall hanging pieces and small items for use indoors, to larger sculptures for our outdoor display. |
 |
 Jason’s current art practise involves the exploration of colour and light in pared down two and three-dimensional compositions. His painting process begins with colour studies in gouache and watercolour. |
 Jukebox Routes are a Dorset and Hampshire based group of 5 singers performing in an old fashioned style record hop, taking you back to times of great music & atmosphere. |
 |
 Working from my studio in Thorncombe, I specialise in still life, pet portaits and dog paintings. My passion and inspiration for my dog paintings is drawn from my studio model, Parsnip, a spaniel who is my constant companion. |
