Ceramics by Alice Garland that I found in the Harleston Gallery, Norfolk. Alice makes these wrapped porcelain ceramic mugs and jugs, beautifully hand painted, I particularly admire her ceramics with a blue lined interior. http://www.alicegarland.co.uk

I have featured the work of Anna Noel, here are some examples of her sister Sara's wonderful work. Images from www.beauxartsbath.co.uk
Rob Whelpdon is another fantastically talented graduate of North Staffordshire Polytechnic, his work usually alludes to the sea and boats, which makes me laugh as I grew up in Staffordshire and as a result didn't see the sea until I was 5. Since I was 11 I've never been far from the briney waters, and obviously the salty sea is close to Robs heart. Discovered at: www.montpelliergallery.com
'Two Mussel Bowl's', these are such a simple idea, so beautifully executed by Annie Turner at Galerie Besson www.galeriebesson.co.uk
Stuart Carey's nest of bowls from GSA show Stuart is going on to the RCA. I cannot find his contact details so if anyone knows them please let me know, so I can pass them on.
These stylish vessels are by Ayalin King, who has just graduated from Glasgow School of Art. It is sad that so many Scottish Art Colleges have abandoned Ceramics, I hope this trend doesn't continue I feel that it is a valuable discipline that we should treasure. I was disappointed that Edinburgh College of Art have abandoned their Tapestry course, true not many of the tapestry students produced tapestries but it gave them something to rebel against and it was a wonderfully eclectic and creative course.
Lisa Hooper's 'Bird Alphabet' constructed from etchings, monotypes, collographs and woodcuts. beautiful work and I adore hoopoe's http://www.hoopoeprints.co.uk
I admired this crow at the Glasgow Degree show, but I am nervous snapping at other peoples work and nerves got the better of me here. However (fantastic) Nora contacted me with her blog she has some beautiful line pictures of Scottish harbours and other treasures but I love her beady eyed Crow. Here is her blog to catch up with her past and look forward to the future work of Nora Reid http://www.mylittletowndesign.blogspot.com
Loved this screen print by David Morrow illustrating the number of species in the wild and in captivity on the red list, very frightening numbers! very beautiful print.

Little selkies sealed or pealed of their seal pelts, by Sandy McInnes, I believe they are porcelain and felt with etched surfaces. I have a soft spot for selkies and have written a song about them so this work really appealed to me. http://www.sandymcinnes.com/ sandyjmcinnes@hotmail.com
