| ANNE ARLIDGE. Uses recycled glass to create a wide range of work, from deep walled vases and delicate bowls to dinner plates sufficiently robust to go in the dishwasher. Most of the tableware is made from window glass obtained as offcuts from glaziers. This glass is also used to make individually textured and coloured panels for external and internal windows and screens. When cast, it forms a wonderful milky blue that holds a muted light. The lead glass is from Dartington; the cullet (waste) is used for casting bowls, panels and sculptural forms. When blowing, Anne builds up layers of colours, oxides, grits and sands within the walls of the vessels. The material itself provides much of the inspiration for Anne’s work. The affinity of glass with water holds endless possibilities, but it is the subtleties and illusions that emerge during the working process that are a constant source of surprise and delight. assendenglass.co.uk |

| REBECCA GOULDSON. Uses etching techniques traditionally used by printmakers to create 2D metal artworks for domestic, corporate and public contexts. ‘My love of drawing, printmaking and photography translates to become marks made on metal. Surfaces are created by etching, stamping, rolling, scribing and plating the metal. Some pieces depict snapshots of the urban landscape and others are more abstract in terms of visual content.’ Much of her work is influenced by the industrial and dockyard cityscapes of her native Liverpool. Since 2007, Rebecca has exhibited regularly in New York, Chicago and Palm Beach at high profile US Art shows which have led to commissions for private clients and more recently a project for Tiffany & Co, involving a series of wall pieces for their jewellery stores in Melbourne, Tokyo and Hong Kong. UK clients include hotels, investment companies, Banks and yachts, along with domestic scale pieces for private individuals. ‘My varied practice keeps me both challenged and stimulated creatively.’ rebeccagouldson |

| PHILIP HEARSEY. Underwent only a short formal training at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts before spending a lifetime in architecture and design.Self taught as a sculptor he exhibits widely, is frequently commissioned, and a number of galleries stock his work which is also held in many corporate and private collections in the UK, USA, Hong Kong, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, France, Spain, Switzerland, Italy and Greece.Challenging the opinion that bronze is simply a reproductive material I employ the sand-casting process to create vessel forms and table sculptures that engage the qualities of bronze as a noble material in its own right. I cut, carve, grind or weld the cast bronze to create unique forms before polishing defining edges and oxidising to produce the exquisite surface finishes that have always been an essential feature of my work.I am drawn towards simple, tactile objects that seem to naturally exist but am also inspired by the complexity of line, curve and form inherent in events of the natural world.What is actually in my head when I make the work is deeply personal but it also matters that the work engages the imagination of the viewer and connects to a deep-rooted, instinctive appreciation of simple, universal forms. philiphearsey.co.uk |

HEATHER HUNTER I make unique Artists’ books, I write all my own text, I produce all my own images I construct my own bindings. The 3 dimensional book structures that constantly provide visual and tactile surprises make my artists books. I have been making books since 1993 but had a reluctance to venture into altered books. However, research introduced me to writers that have had conversations with the text of another so, my altered book is from the Observer series published between 1950-1970. It can still be read as a complete book. In the construction this book produces random words for my found poem presented, with images, in the accompanying book. I graduated from Oxford Brookes University with a BSc Hons in Psychology and Visual Studies. My books are in private collections and in University libraries. Winner of the Brigit Skiöld Memorial Trust Artist’s Book Purchase Award at London Artists Book Fair for Observer Series –Music.

| JUNE KINGSBURY. Her work focuses on absence and memory, creating a dialogue between past events and current issues. Collected and made things are translated into a narrative to express the things we cannot see: memories, emotions and dreams. From my father, I learnt the names of things. How to recognise the shape and sound and texture of those things. Brock, oak apple, night jar, celandine, the call of the tawny owl, I carefully put each one away to be recalled later. From my mother I discovered the transitory nature of things. The way in which one thing can have many names; like light refracted through a prism, the nature of that thing changes with each passing cloud or shadow. International Garden Photographer of the Year 2008 Finalist; Pilchuck/Corning Scholarship Nomination September 2008; Worshipful Company of Glass Sellers Finalist 2007; Worshipful Company of Glass Sellers Student Prize Winner 2006; Bohle Student of the Year Award Finalist 2006.

SUSAN MACARTHUR Fellow of the Society of Designer Craftsmen. Susan initially studied Fine Art primarily painting, drawing and sculpting. Towards the latter part of her education at Cal State Long Beach she was introduced to textiles and on returning to England has gone on to experiment with different techniques and materials to portray the human form. ‘I come from a background of life drawing/painting and have always been drawn to the drama of the human form. My work is a combination of painting together with fabric, paper, thread and paints. I like the unpredictable occurrences that can arise with these materials and feel there is a strong crossover between the drawn line and a line of thread. Texture plays a large role in my work – in fact I think it is probably the most important element for me'.susanmacarthur.co.uk |

| NICOLA RANSOM. Inspiration for my work is drawn from the world around me. I explore these observations through kiln formed glass fusing, intricately cutting and layering float glass, drawing and collaging with natural materials, wire and coloured glass to create both abstracted and figurative imagery. The 3-dimensional wall mounted artworks evolve through experimentation, expressing motion and depth through layering and reflection, drawing the viewer in to explore. I am interested by the interrelation of wall-hung artworks and windows framing the view of the world, the idea that an image, thought, or moment in time is bound within an actual or implied framework. 2007 Pilchuck Glass School, Seattle, USA - Space, Light and Glasswith Marian Karel and Daniel Hanzlik2002 City and Guilds Architectural Kiln Formed Glass1996-1998 BA (Hons) Design Studies - Graphic Design, Exhibition and Museum Design and Interior Design BTEC HNC Graphic Design plus specialist workshops and courses - sandcasting, verre églomisé, glass and print, specialist sandblast resists nicolaransom.com |
