Rose Wallace

Rose’s work aims to comment upon us all as today's consumers. She employs original discarded objects as her starting point. Whether it is an 18th Century clay pipe, a 1950s jelly mould or a piece of contemporary plastic packaging, she believes the inherent value held within the transience of our collective domestic ephemera has a story to tell.

Gail Altschuler

“I aim to blur the dividing lines between art and craft. I use clay or porcelain as my canvas, creating illustrated plates for installations or vessels as sculptural displays. The themes include zoom meetings, refugees, masks, musicians, people at rest, funny faces, at the café, at the beach, at the Met, and conversations across time.” – Gail Altschuler.

Tim Andrews

Tim works from his studio/gallery and garden in an East Devon village, making and curating exhibitions and occasionally writing. It’s a combination of the immersion in his local environment with the many invitations to exhibit/lecture around the world that has influenced his work for well over forty years. Some of Tim’s favourite adventures have been in China, India, Australia - and many times in Japan, which has reconnected him with his family history in that country, which stretches back almost 150 years.
