Maggie Magoo Designs
lousie Bradley
Detailed observational drawings from life or found macroscopic images are progressed into hand made papercuts and abstract patterns and screen-printed using translucent colour, line and layers. Drawing persists in my work as an underpinning medium for its directness, purity and simplicity. Paintings are made from life or en plein air, studies of seasonal plants and flowers or exercises in colour, composition and tone."
These beautiful intricate screen prints are just some of the unframed examples we have of Louise's work the are available to buy online. We have many more framed works as part of the exhibition - please contact or visit us for details.

SUe Dunne
As well as through the colouration, the methods I use ensure that each piece is a separate and individual work of art rather than using 'mass-produced' identical moulds. Everything is twice- fired, the colour being applied before the second (glaze) firing at just under 1100 degrees C."
This is a selection of Sue's work that we have available - more in the gallery.
Lil' Rabitfoot - Samantha Yates
She has a unique background, teaching Horticulture for 12 years, with degrees in Environmental Science and Civil Engineering, these seem to naturally unite through her fascination for presenting glass to light through different botanical forms, patterns and structures.
Her botanically inspired pieces reveal her appreciation of the natural environment, the simple naïve beauty of nature and the happiness it can bring.
She loves to play with the limitations of her materials and techniques, each piece of her work is individual, rich in its handmade character.
"Light and glass together never fail to amaze me, the true beauty of colour revealed, my emotional response is one of joy"
Joanna Bourne
Leigh Shepheard
Flutterby - Leigh Shepherd
A beautiful mixed media piece created from a segment of a type case / wooden printmakers tray.
This is the only piece left from a series of mixed media pieces I made on a butterfly theme. The text reads:
'Flutterby Butterfly floating flower in the sky Kiss me with your petal wings Whisper secrets Tell of Spring...'
The butterflies are hand painted. The wings have been folded slightly so that they create shadows on the gold background. The resin creates a lovely depth to the piece and emphasises the shadows.
This piece is signed on the back. It can be hung on the wall with a triangular brass fitting.
Dimensions: 22.5cm wide, 19.5cm high, 3cm deep.
