Inkylinky By Liz Samways

Liz is a Yorkshire -based jeweller and printmaker, using etched and patinated silver and copper, also incorporating these elements into metal pictures, etchings, monoprints and collages. Her primary inspiration is the English landscape and its textures, patterns and shapes, particularly on a flat plane as viewed from the train window or aerial views. Also influenced by English landscape painters, printmakers and surface-pattern designers. The 'chemistry' of age-old techniques such as etching, drypoint, enamel and patination recipes fascinates her, and she loves experimenting with mixing techniques and materials between print and jewellery, getting the best of both worlds.

Nadja Schütt

A maker for many years, I create all sorts of things. A lot of my work is inspired by years of travel and my love for the natural world. I work with textiles creating dolls and other creatures, but also clothes with decorations, embroidery and prints. I use string and natural and / or recycled materials to make macrame hangings and jewellery. Things I make are made to last and it is important to me to have a minimal impact on the environment. My creations are colourful and uplifting, to appeal to adults and youngsters alike.

The Corner Studio

Sarah’s passion for the sea, coastal horizons and expansive skies comes through in her work. Sarah is forever striving to capture the essence of her surroundings; the movement and energy of the sea, the temperaments of the weather and that glimmer of light and hope just visible on the horizon. Painting with oils, palette knives, brushes, and often her fingers all add texture and give an immediacy to her art. Moments are captured. Memorised. Painted. Sarah is currently working on pieces focusing on the North East and South West coastlines.
