A Winter's Tale - 14th November to 31st December
A celebration of everything wintery. The show extols the beauty and harshness of winter in literal and metaphorical form. The season of silence, feasts and fires, lights and letting go, of darkness, death and ending.
Victoria Brookland
Evocative exquisitely detailed pen and ink originals from Victoria Brookland. Inspired by women's stories and gothic novels.

Hester Cox
My printmaking is informed by my surroundings and wherever I am I seek out evidence of the natural world that is particular to that environment. I have spent most of my working life living in rural places and I am fascinated by the rhythms and cycles that occur within nature. Whilst an idea may be sparked by the written word, it is invariably my physical experience of a place that inspires a new piece of work.
As a fell runner, my excursions often take me to wilder less visited locations and I am outdoors in all weathers. The physicality of running combined with the solitude and necessary awareness of my immediate environment creates a visceral connection with the landscape that lasts long after I have returned to the studio. Revisiting the same areas repeatedly provides me with the opportunity to catch a glimpse of some of the more elusive birds and animals that inhabit these environments. It is these chance encounters that I find most exciting and that will often be translated into print. I invariably carry a camera to record details or to act as a memory prompt and I sketch and write notes and haiku to distil my ideas.
By using multiple plates, painted textures and intricate cutting in my collagraph printmaking I can accentuate the patterns that I find in the natural world, celebrate the colours found in nature and draw attention to the everyday occurrences that happen around us but that often go unnoticed or are soon forgotten.

David William Sampson
David started a fine art degree in 2005, but then after one year changed and graduated in decorative arts, from Nottingham Trent in 2009. Since then he has worked from the community/ professional studio in Long Eaton in-between Nottingham and Derby. Sculpture has developed over the years but always had a dark and figurative element with eerie yet endearing qualities.
"We come to love, not by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly" Sam Keen 1997
Often in ceramics; cracks, pin-holed glazing, mixing of clay and patchy slips are be seen as defects with many makers, but I have created a body of work that enhances and celebrates these, yet each piece is still beautiful and valid it's own right. They have been made imperfectly perfect with confident construction, marks and finishes applied to them. David's work splits the room and is a conversation starter, some wills the children and have an instant parental instinct... then look closer to see that they are decapitated, broken faced or damaged teeth and it leaves people unknowing how to feel; this conjuring of mixture of emotions and it is that very element that evokes intrigue and conversations that he really likes! Some people are unsure if to be scared of them, or to use the extreme word, hate them or if to love them even more.
They are all intriguing little characters that are all individual and hold their own temperament, from princes to clowns and apomorphic elements creeping in, these children just want to play, be loved and adopted into a new family and home.

Jane Burnley
I am a contemporary artist and jewellery maker who lives and works in North Yorkshire.
I turned to painting in the late 90s and exhibited for the first time in 1998 at the Leeds Arts Fair. Since then I have exhibited locally and I regularly take part in the North Yorkshire Open Studios event. I mainly paint in acrylics; landscapes and more spiritual work, but recently, I have started painting much larger, more abstract and in mono chrome mixed media, due to experiencing grief. This work has been an extremely emotional process for me, but is exciting at the same time, seeing my work develop and change...
I also produce some mono prints and more recently, some cold wax oil paintings.

Marcus Steel
Marcus graduated in 1981 from Loughborough College of Art as a silversmith and jeweller exhibiting his work both nationally and internationally.
Throughout this time he has always been involved in education as both a full time and visiting lecturer at several art colleges and universities on both undergraduate and postgraduate design programmes.
Over the years Marcus has worked across a wide variety of projects of varying scale and material designing and manufacturing items that ranged from jewellery pieces and site specific art works to bespoke furniture and lighting, mirrored screens and large silverware pieces for private and corporate clients including several of the high end London restaurants.
Marcus now produces distinctive and understated metal vessels inspired by an ongoing interest with both ancient and modern architectural styles and details from both vernacular and industrial sources that hint at a sense of function and simple uncluttered timepieces all constructed from sheet metal, formed and fabricated by hand with additional silver detailing. The application of the patinated surfaces give the pieces a rich and vibrant colour and texture that imply a sense of age and history that help to make every piece individual and unique.
