Anna Donovan
Anna Donovan
Anna works primarily as a ceramics and mixed media artist. She creates a range of sizes making small figures, and large-scale figurative, sculptural works.
Working with high fired grogged clay, Anna exploits the expressive and forgiving nature of the clay through a combination of hand building and press moulding, often incorporating contrasting textures. These are derived from directly manipulating into the surface of the clay, applying slips at different stages and a variety of glazes, often layered, conjuring up the rich aesthetics of erosion and corrosion that in of itself suggests a story, a timeline.
Often choosing to use the human form as the foundation onto which she builds narratives, Anna explores the projection of identity and the power of body language, even the most subtle.

Inspired by the Cornish coastline, Karen is drawn to textures, incorporating layers and found materials, creating original abstract art alongside prints taken from nature.
Sinéad O'Connor
Sinéad O'Connor
Sinéad O’Connor is an award-winning enameller whose practice explores the dynamic interaction between glass, metal, and heat. Working in a contemporary style, she experiments with the chemistry of enamel, pushing materials to their limits through extreme temperatures to reveal unexpected reactions and surfaces.
Primarily working with copper, Sinéad embraces the natural oxides that emerge during firing to influence and transform the colour of the enamel. She often employs traditional techniques such as sifting, sgraffito, and overfiring, combining different types of enamel to create subtle depth and texture. Many of her pieces are textured before enamelling, allowing molten glass to settle within the indentations and highlight the movement of the material under heat. Frequently, the enamel is drawn back to expose the raw copper beneath, creating a striking interplay between polished metal and vitrified glass.
Côme Roumegoux
Côme Roumegoux
Côme's practice fuses the raw energy of graffiti with the precision and luminosity of copper enamelling, a traditional craft rarely encountered in contemporary urban art. Through this unique material dialogue, Côme explores themes of chaos, control, and transformation, creating richly textured, vibrant surfaces that reflect both tension and resilience.
Rooted in their personal experiences within the underground graffiti scene, Côme's work is shaped by a journey of recovery and reinvention. The act of creating has become a meditative process, a way to confront and reinterpret the past, transforming it into something enduring and luminous.
Mark Scott
Mark Scott
Mark Scott works from a small workshop in Brea, Cornwall, creating functional art from locally sourced Cornish wood. A professional woodturner for the past seven years, with over fifteen years of experience at the lathe, his practice is rooted in a deep respect for the natural character of his materials.
Mark is drawn to the inherent beauty of wood—its grain, texture, and quiet individuality—and allows these qualities to guide each piece. His work is finished exclusively with natural, organic oils and waxes, chosen to enhance rather than obscure the material’s integrity.
After more than four decades touring the world with bands, Mark found himself increasingly drawn to nature and handmade objects. Wood, in particular, consistently captured his attention, offering both a creative anchor and a sense of grounding. Today, his work reflects this journey: thoughtful, tactile pieces that celebrate simplicity, craftsmanship, and a lasting connection to the natural world.
Lynne Speake
Lynne Speake
Organically driven and led by her materials .. Lynne is an alchemical maker ...
Directly influenced and excited by things unnoticed ... decay, peeling paint, rusting metal, colour, texture and pattern, she is inspired on a daily basis by erosion, the elements and hidden treasures ... things often discarded and overlooked.
'It is the emotional journey of making that is the most important part, everything else is secondary ... I love that there is hidden beauty within often unnoticed treasures, hidden works of art just waiting to be discovered. Discarded by man and shaped by the elements'
In 2017 a passion for organising and exhibiting prompted her to create the Art Jewellery collective 'Precious.Collective'.
Now with over 650 members worldwide and over 21.6k instagram followers (July 2025) this collective regularly exhibits both in the UK and internationally.
Naomi Singer
Naomi Singer
Naomi is inspired by the flowers and seed heads that she finds in and around her home in Cornwall in the South West of England. She uses these strong shapes to develop more abstract patterns.
Naomi's pieces are created using a range of both traditional and modern warm-glass techniques. She first designs her pieces electronically, manipulating digital photography to create highly patterned images which are then fused between layers of coloured glass. Naomi first used this innovative technique during her degree at University College Falmouth, and has since continued to develop and apply it to create her beautiful and unique pieces of glass.
Sarah Sullivan
Sarah Sullivan
Sarah is a ceramicist working from her pottery studio and small gallery RED in Redruth, mid Cornwall. Sarah graduated from Falmouth College of Art in 1998.
Sarah makes stoneware vessels, thrown - with a smooth clay, and coil built – with grogged clay. Also, figurative Serenity Heads. These are individually hand carved. A slow, rhythmic process that is endlessly satisfying. The result is a unique and extremely tactile form that looks and feels both modern and ancient.
Sarah's work is carved using a small stripping tool, creating curves and pattern and making the pieces so satisfying to handle and use. They are mindfully made and beautifully tactile.
The pots are finished in a dolomite glaze and a combination of slips, underglazes, oxides, a colour palette that reflects the beach where she swims year-round.
Sarah is influenced by ancient pottery vessels, studio pottery pioneers, contemporary throwers, through to Japanese and Scandinavian clean lines of design, modern wood carving, large sculptural work and simple stones and shell forms.
The carved lines of her pieces are representative of the tidal lines, sand and rocks on Cornish beaches, the geology of the landscape and the history of mark making in clay.
Sarah's vocation is ceramics. Making is her inspiration, motivation, meditation and play
Rosa Wiland Holmes
Rosa Wiland Holmes
Rosa is a ceramic artist based in Great Brickhill, Buckinghamshire. Her work explores the complexity and fluidity of emotional experience within relationships — both with others and with oneself. By pushing clay to its limits, she creates gestural forms that stretch, rupture, and evolve into organic structures that subtly reference the human body.
Rosa's works exist in a state of continual movement and transformation, inviting contemplation and dialogue around connection, vulnerability, and understanding. Through tension and fragility in the material, Rosa aims to reflect the shifting dynamics of intimacy and self-awareness.
Sue Woodger
Sue Woodger
Sue creates original painted paper cut artwork that is inspired by natural forms and silhouettes. Sue is forever fascinated by the patterns and movement found in the natural world, and her work most regularly features swarms of paper butterflies, shoals of fish, and flocks of birds.
This fascination is married with a love for paper - a beautifully versatile medium that lends itself to exploration. Sue cuts her paper pieces using both traditional methods and with some digital cutting - but designs always start out with a pencil sketch and scalpel. In Sue's artwork you will find depth, shadow and a exploratory use of colour and shade. Sue creates pieces in many sizes and at many price points because she wants her art to be accessible believing everyone deserves beautiful art in their home.
Paul Wright
Paul Wright
Paul works mostly in reclaimed copper, making abstract three dimensional seascapes. Paul's love of the sea has led him to study waveforms and with patterns he sees, he breaks them down into their simplest forms. Paul uses patinas to get stunning colours and textures and contrasts them with clean shiny copper. Paul uses a lot of geometry and simple patterns in his work which he finds comforting. Order and chaos mixed together.
