Paul Jenkins
Paul Jenkins was born in the West Midlands in 1949. He started his career by sculpting in wood but found himself drawn to sculpting in clay and wax.
Paul’s inspiration comes from his love of nature, especially animals. Many of his pieces are inspired from direct observations of wild animals in their natural habitat. Every sculpture large or small takes approximately 3 weeks to make, each one unique, crafted from a specially formulated clay, glazed and fired for a second time then finally each one is raku fired. Price range £24 - £300 |
SARAH JANE BROWN
Driftwood and tin sculptures on a minature scale. Some contain small scraps of newspaper and tiny wire details - each one is different. These sculptures are full of character and have been inspired by her travels observing the architecture of various countries where tall, thin buildings lean together tracing the contours of the land.
Prices range from £36 - £80 Visit the gallery to view Sarah Jane Brown's work or contact us here to make an enquiry. |

Tony Smithers
I have been a professional potter since 1980, in partnership with Doreen Gardner at Orchard Pottery. In recent years I have specialised in ceramic animal and bird sculpture, together with more abstract forms for the contemporary house or garden. Some of my work is slip cast, altered and modelled on before hand finishing and painting. Other pieces are hand built by coiling or slabbing often with press moulded elements. All pieces that are stoneware fired and are suitable for garden use. I always work manually and have dedicated many years to working with this technique.
Price range - £18 - £280 |
SIMON GRIFFITHS
Simon grew up in rural County Durham and this is where he draws his inspiration as well as his great respect and passion for the natural world. He can often be seen, with his sketching equipment and camera, quietly observing the birdlife. Working closely with local bird sanctuaries has allowed him to carefully study the form, structure and character of birds that he then translates into his sculptures.
The wood that Simon uses for mounting the pieces on is all recycled wood - either bought from local farmers or from reclamation yards. This is very important to Simon who strongly believes in sustainability. Prices range from £75 - £650 Visit the gallery to view Simon Griffiths's work or contact us here to make an enquiry. |
CHLOE HARFORD
Chloe has been making animal sculpture since 2000 and has been inspired both by worldwide animals with appeal & the local wildlife found on the land surrounding her workshop which is set in 6 acres of woodland on the banks of the river Tamar. Her ceramics are Raku which is rapidly fired until glowing hot; its then taken from the kiln whilst still glowing and placed in a container of sawdust, this instantly combusts and the shock of the air causes the glaze to craze at which point it is covered and left to cool, the smoke from the burning sawdust penetrates the crazing giving the distinctive grey lines.
Prices range from £20 -£60 Visit the gallery to view Chloe Harford's work or contact us here to make an enquiry. |
ELISSA PALSER
Elissa lives and works in Wales. She is creative in many ways but these birds are her most popular collection. Elissa's mother began making these stoneware birds in the 1970's, and their poularity was instant. Elissa decided to continue the bird-making business after a palmist told her she should work with clay.
Prices range from £20 - £25 |
Charlotte Salt
Charlotte is based in North Yorkshire and comes from a family of potters. Her work is intuitively hand crafted using coiling, slab-building, modelling and pinching techniques. Each piece created is unique, from the brush strokes on the surface to the physical imprints that intentionally remain, serving as a testament to the making process.
Prices from £18 - £150 |
