MeadowlAnds 

Meadowlands - an exhibition about the British meadows - the wildlife, flora and fauna you may encounter there - the wild edges. Represented in atmospheric handmade prints, ceramics, textiles, glass, sculpture and more. 
​Artists include: Alison Deegan, Louise Bradley, Joanna Bourne, Leigh Shepherd, Charlotte Morrison, Lil Rabbitfoot glass, Wild Grey Art, Jo Westgate, Sue Dunne and Maggiemagoo Designs.

Below is just a representation of some of the amazing work we have on show in the exhibition. 

Alison Deegan 

Alison Deegan creates monoprints and short editions of single and multiple colour lino prints. For Alison lino printmaking is about capturing a glancing encounter or a moment in a landscape through sketching and design, tracing and carving, blending colours and inking and finally pressing. She loves the physicality of the relief printing process and the transformation of the vaguest of pencil sketches into bold unambiguous mark making. By contrast her monoprints are about spontaneity: gathering ephemeral materials and transforming them into artworks within a matter of hours. Alison trained as an archaeologist and has a career making maps of archaeological landscapes from aerial photographs. The below works are available to buy unframed online - we have a much wider selection framed in the exhibition.

Maggie Magoo Designs

A collection of hand embroidered hoops beautifully designed and sewn by Carole (Maggie Magoo Designs)

lousie Bradley

"Central to my practice are themes of fertility, beauty, reproduction, change and transformation, which I express using plants and flowers as symbols, most of which are grown locally and used seasonally. 
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

"My work directly reflects my year-round fascination with natural history, particularly plant-life when it's wild. Over the months, seasons and years I have been building up a library of records in the form of moulds of pressed flowers, twigs, seeds, leaves, berries and feathers. I feel privileged that something as beautiful, but so flimsy and transient, as a flower can be given more permanence by my ceramic work. 
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

Samantha Yates is a glass artist based in Shipley, West Yorkshire. She uses the psuedonym Lil' Rabbitfoot. 

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"
