Artists
EOT Ceramics is the studio practice of Emily Olivia Tapp - a potter living and working in Cornwall. Emily makes everyday ceramics intended for daily use: she throws with Cornish clay sourced in St Agnes and mixes all her glazes from scratch using raw materials and her own carefully developed recipes.
David Muddyman is a graduate of Plymouth College of Art and continues to live and work in the city. Much of his work is inspired by the landscapes and seascapes around the Rame Peninsula in south-east Cornwall, Plymouth and west Devon. David’s work can regularly be seen at the Byre Gallery and a collection is always available online.
Ruth Shelley’s gravity dropped vessels create an interplay of light, form and colour. The vessels take on their own persona and become artworks in their own right as glass sculptures.
Sophie’s work is all about simplicity, harmony, and the power of colour in its ability to glow, clash or sing. Working mainly from life and from sketches, Sophie paints moments from her life: a collection of objects in the home, seasonal fruit and flowers, a morning spent on the beach or in a Cornish garden.
Remon uses slip-casting and hand-building techniques to build her striking ceramics which include her wonderful fruit collection.
Siobhan’s work is created from memories, experience and family history. Subject matter and narrative are important to Siobhan: she likes to paint people, particularly children and animals, and is constantly scanning everyday images looking for the one that makes a great painting.
The ambiguity of spaces, the way planes appear and disappear, not defined but suggested by a small detail or a gesture of the paint, is what is at the heart of Cornwall based artist Nicola Mosley’s work.
Every piece of jewellery is handcrafted by Lucy in her small workshop in Cornwall. Working with tools from her grandfather’s workshop and using techniques that have remained unchanged for hundreds of years keeps Lucy anchored to her inspiration.
A graduate in Fine Art from Falmouth College of Art, Jill continues to live and work in Cornwall. Jill paints the world around her, sometimes what she imagines, but her art is about the landscape of life in all its forms - its fleetingness, its poetry, its loneliness, and its reality. A collection of her work can always be seen at the Byre Gallery.
A life-long fascination with wave-worn wood has led Lizzie Weir to create her Flotsam jewellery collection. Combining driftwood with pieces of Hawthorn, Holly and Cherry that she has been given or has collected on walks in Cornwall and Gloucestershire, Lizzie then uses gold leaf, pencil and paint to create her highly individual jewellery.
