WOOD
ABWOODARTS
Jim creates mounted abstract carvings. They are a new innovation which he first showcased at Crafts in the Pen 2017. The idea initially stemmed from a retirement hobby after many years in the woodworking industry. Each carving is hand carved by Jim and is unique in itself and therefore not repeatable. The open from surrounding each carving allows the individual to appreciate the tactile nature of the carving.

Nellie applies her skills as an artist to creating beautiful strategic board games that can be enjoyed by all ages.
PAPER CRAFTS
AJC
PAPERARTAnna's work is mostly three dimensional and created by intricately cut singular layers of paper, which she then cuts out and rebuilds into deep, handmade box frames.

ANDREW
JONESAndrew is a painter primarily, but he also works with textiles as another valuable way of expressing himself. His work is very textural and the two mediums often inform one another and sometimes combine. Intuition can take control and push aside analysis and any larger questions he might be concerned with. It is a more meditative, mindful, visceral and cleaner experience. It’s a therapy and a passion. It is something he thinks about every day.

ANGELA
GARDNERDesigning uniquely shaped textured knitted fabrics is instinctive to Angela. She now shares her passion by hand dying British wool for her knitting patterns so that you can create your own masterpiece by following her instructions. Flowers inspire her felt work, ranging from vibrant pictures to a range of felt lampshades using whites only to depict favourite flowers with subtle texture, which when lit reveal the silhouette detail with a warm cosy light.
TEXTILE ART
ANNA
BYELOVAAnna really enjoys making bags from tweed and likes the feel of working with tough material. Each of her bags are different and so the process is never the same. She usually picks up the material and then sees what kind of bag she wants to create from there. Once an idea is in place, she simply starts sewing. She likes to improve the quality of her bags with every new project.
