1. Karen Ongley-Snook
Colour always plays an important part in my designs and there is always a common link. I like to make reference to the past but with a contemporary edge.
I work in a small workshop at the bottom of my garden, just past the chickens. My little piece of heaven.
Each piece is handmade individually and is unique.

2. Jane Russell
A bead artist living and working close to the new South Downs National Park and on the edge of Chichester Harbour. I make bead jewellery using semi-precious stones, freshwater pearls and silver. The finished pieces may be big and bold, they may be intricate or simple, they may be small and delicate, in fact there is something for everyone.
Taking inspiration from colour and creation and the world about me, I allow the beads themselves to influence the design of the jewellery – and each piece is truly unique.

5. Simon Hempsell
Large and small garden sculptures inspired by seed heads and animal cave drawings, the simple, almost two dimensional designs, crafted from sheet steel.
The sculptures make a great feature, the warm rich tones of the rusted metal, glowing in the evening sun. Move them around with the seasons adding year round interest to lawns, flower beds or an eye catching patio feature, the smaller seedheads making great plant supports. For a more contemporary look, designs can be produced from stainless steel.
Indoor and outdoor displays, pop round for a browse, a cuppa and cake.

I have been making silver jewellery for some years now. When I started I based my designs on historical artefacts. I still do, however, I like to let my mind wander into the unknown from time to time. In addition to my jewellery, I am exploring the mediums of paper and textiles.
