Sheena McMahon http://sheenamcmahon.com/ The ceramics are all hand-built using stoneware or earthenware, and constructed using coils or slabs. This enables me the opportunity to achieve a degree of individuality in each piece that I make. Some are glazed prior to having oxides sprayed on them before being fired, with results that display subtly coloured surfaces. No two pieces are the same.
Brenda Graham http://brendagraham.blogspot.co.uk/ I have been having great fun making all sorts of glass items that reflect the natural world. The subjects are butterflies, birds, bees, animals, flowers and plants. Stories for children such as Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit Tales have also provided inspiration. http://secretmarket.artsinreading.co.uk/brenda-graham

Joy Frey Printmaker & Bookmaking http://www.printattheparkgroup.co.uk/#/joy-frey/4551588678 She has previously worked with paint, screen printing and textiles but now chooses to work with lino and monoprint, exploring the opportunities each process offers for using bright colour, strong shapes, line and space. She is particularly interested in developing etched images in lino which gives fluid, painterly shapes and lines. Her imagery references landscape, coastal form and historical fragment recorded in situ. Synthesising these elements she can extract the essential lines making unique pieces or very limited editions. Her work has been exhibited regularly both at South Hill Park and at a variety of other venues in Berkshire and elsewhere.
Sue Mundy Sculptor / Ceramics http://www.suemundy.com/Site/Whats_new.html Sue Mundy's organic work demonstrates her early obsession with natural forms such as pebbles, rocks, the sea and other objects hewn from the landscape. The unique characteristic of her forms and surface textures are the result of combining two different clays together, such that a coarse yet plastic body is achieved.
Sue uses hand-building techniques which she feels offers her a more considered way of working. This enables her to nurture each individual piece and allow time for its own development and growth. To emphasise the entrenched marks made on each surface, slips and oxides are selectively applied during the course of the drying process. Finally the works are fired in a gas kiln, often in a reduction atmosphere.

Dan Dunne Painting and Drawing http://dandunne.net/ In the last few years my work has evolved into abstract figurative painting and although some of my work is evidently figurative it is the processes that contribute to the finished piece that are as important to me. I use reductive techniques, taking away not adding, stripping away layers or ‘unpainting’ to leave an exposed painting both in terms of the nude figurative image and in the processes and history in the making of the painting as an object.
Jo Quinn Print Making http://www.joquinn.co.uk/ Jo’s etchings are inspired by the aesthetics of everydayobjects – snapshots of unseen kitchen corners and eclectic interiors.Patterned papers are incorporated into the prints, adding a senseof vintage nostalgia to each picture, and making each one unique.
