Textiles (Sarah Hopkins)
“I am a self taught weaver, who has been practising this craft for some eight years.

I have always loved the tactile nature of natural fabrics and am fascinated by weaving and how it combines functionality with aesthetics; channelling one’s mental energy into using one’s hands, in a skilled, creative, purposeful way, is essential to being human”.

Ceramics (Dan and Martin).
“We have been collaborating since 2010, specialising in throwing, hand building, slip-casting and sculpture, with a range of finishes including glaze (dipped, poured and brushed-on), oxides, underglaze, crushed glass, and coloured slip.

We enjoy surface texture, colour and individuality. We use carving, chattering, inlaying, and hand-added pieces to ensure that every piece we craft unique and impossible to replicate pieces, some functional, all decorative”.
