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.

ANDREW
JONES

Andrew 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
GARDNER

Designing 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.
