Exhibitors Details:

Katherine Kingdon

Katherine’s pieces are full of character and storytelling. Her figures seem to be caught mid action and a sense of playful ambiguity draws you in and makes you smile.
She hand-builds and creates the illustrated surfaces using a mixture of applied, incised and modelled detail. This creates a surface reminiscent of something more medieval.
The calm, muted colour palette adds to this ancient quality which is often delightfully at odds with the subject matter.

Diana Pattenden

A large garden sculpture of a fish, a pineapple, some carnivorous plants, small ceramic turtle hatchlings, perhaps some yoga figures and probably some espresso mugs and some salt and pepper pinch pots will be on sale plus clay kits for home. Diana has been sculpting since she was handed play dough as a child.

Christine Lack

Christine works in white stoneware & porcelain clay for their suppleness, delicacy and strength. The clays versatility to be transformed both in texture and form, make them perfect for her work when capturing and exploring natures beauty within the landscape through glaze and smoke firing techniques.
