Gallery Suppliers

We still have our ranges of glass and silver jewellery in both our galleries but we are also building up an envious selection of quality hand made products from some of the top people in the country. We also have a bespoke selection of unusual greetings cards from local and national artists.

It has always been our aim to only sell quality British art and craft. We guarantee that everything we sell in our shop is made in the UK, with many pieces made in the West Country as well.

We stock all the people below on a rolling basis. Some artist's work is in both galleries, some in either and some in neither - because we have temporarily sold out!

Karen Atherley

Karen's unique figurative style portrays curvy fleshy figures influenced by Greek antiquity and the colours of the impressionists. She uses brightly coloured slips painted onto white earthenware and glazed with a transparent glaze to give a lustrous finish, with the addition of decals to give the work an old fashion feel.

Karen aims to produce a decorative object that has a practical use as well as eye catching and good to look at.

Pauline Rook

Linda is a Somerset based mixed media artist. She studied Fashion and Textiles at Winchester School of Art and has gone on to teach at secondary school level.

Pauline Rook is a professionally qualified photographer who lives in Somerset. Her photographic learning was prompted by a wish to capture something of the people and life of rural Somerset, a world in which she lived and worked on a dairy farm.

She specialises in portrait, landscape and documentary photography. Her photographs feature people and landscapes in the west of England.

Ashar

Vanessa Conyers

Vanessa's designs are hand-crafted in her studio in rural Dorset by herself and a small team of makers. Each piece is skillfully assembled from fine earthenware clay inscribed with vintage lace and fabrics.

Layers of paint, mono-print, and glaze are sumptuously embellished with traditional enamel decals and lashings of gold lustre and mother of pearl, and each piece is fired at least four times to achieve its smooth iridescent finish.

Her collections can be used (with an air of indulgent luxury), or simply treasured as heirlooms, admired for their quaint nostalgia and unique elegance.

Christine Cummings

Driftmoods

Christine began making animals whilst studying ceramics at Lancashire Polytechnic,  to begin with purely pig studies. 

She now still makes pigs along with a whole host of other animals. Source material is never far away - a cow in a field, a scratching chicken or a dog racing down the street.

Sketching from life is a very big part of Christine's work, making her study the subject at great length.

The pieces are all hand crafted in earth stone clay, being finished either by Raku or smoke firing

Nick Durnam

Red Hot Sal

Nick began working with stone as an apprentice stonemason at Canterbury Cathedral and then went on to study carving at the City and Guilds Art School of London. Although he has worked with stone for over 25 years at Canterbury, Rochester, Salisbury, Wells and Exeter cathedrals it is only in the relatively recent past that he has turned his skills to creating his own work in stone.

Sally Carver is a full time lampwork glass bead artist trading as Red Hot Sal and based in St. Ives.

She started making glass beads in 1999. As many bead makers will tell you melting glass is extremely addictive, so a hobby became a passion, and then eventually a full time career.

Penkridge Ceramics

Rob Whelpton

Collectable Ceramics made in West Midlands

Rob Whelpton trained at North Staffordshire Polytechnic, qualifying in ceramics in 1974. 

His distinctive ceramics are created by the Raku process, fired outdoors. The characteristic crackling of the glazes and glowing colours of this method are achieved by placing the red hot pots in sawdust, which ignites with the heat, further charring the unglazed areas. The combinations and textures this creates are as effective as they are unexpected.

The patterns incised on the surface of his pots are birds, animals, boats and fish motifs, used in rhythmic and intertwined shapes, with much beauty and a certain humour. They are coloured using slips and metallic salts. Some pots are enhanced using gold leaf. Most recently people have become a strong feature in his work
