We can’t wait to hear the dawn chorus again! Our glass artist Eddy Crick finds that the most rewarding subjects are inspired by nature. Eddy pushes the technique close to its limits in the endeavor for accuracy. British wild birds are his forte, most of the sun catchers he produce are almost life size, but all are to scale and as accurate as he can achieve.

Until it gets a little bit warmer we’ve got you covered if you’re after some warmth and cosiness. Browse our handmade textiles here.

Collections

 

Karen Banks is a ceramic artist who expresses her love of the natural world by producing handbuilt pieces with an organic quality, marked by the elemental forces of fire and smoke.

 
 

Jacqui Ramrayka: “As well as natural and urban landscapes, I find inspiration in the seemingly random and mundane, found objects that suggest a fragment of a story.”

 
 

Kerry Hastings is a Scottish artist living in London. She often returns to the west of Scotland and finds the dramatic and ancient scenery a great influence.

 

Moyra Stewart likes to use elements of the natural world as a metaphor for the growth and change in our lives.

 
 

Jane Cairns works in response to her surroundings, the ordinary and every day of urban life, where she finds an accidental poetry that is often overlooked.

 
 

Charlotte Jones makes her distinctive pots by adding colour to white stoneware clay, local clays, grog from streams and oxides.

 
 

Sue Mundy: “Nature is a major source of inspiration to me. I combine the gentleness of undulating landscapes, the turmoil of the sea and the soft sensuality of the human form into my work.”
