Molly Hatch





I love the crisp black designs on Molly Hatch's white porcelain, reminds me of black work embroidery. Molly's porfolio is much wider than this selection that I have made so have a look at her full portfolio.

Thomas Hill




Thomas Hill uses steel wire to construct these fantastic, three dimentional sketches of birds and other animals.

Sally Matthews





The sculpture of Sally Matthews, who has a fantastic capability to render animal forms from a vast variety of materials.
"Everyone has their own reasons for using animals in art, but for me I always go back to the animals themselves for inspiration. My love of them, their different form, movement, smell and nature are the reasons for my making them. Their nature, even of a domesticated or trained animal is unpredictable and wild, their presence is always enlivening. I want my work to remind people of our need for animals and the example their nature provides us with." Sally Matthews
Sally initially creates a metal armature (the equivalent of a line drawing and then she builds up the substance of the figure using materials that she feels represent the animal by it coire fibre, cow muck, steel, copper or wood.

Everlasting Gob Stoppers by David Henckel and Jackie Jonesto


I do love playing with sweets, and we spent last weekend with our noses buried in Roald Dahl's Revolting Recipes. So these fun looking everlasting gob stoppers by artist David Henckel in collaboration with Jackie Jonesto made me laugh.
