Jill Tattersall

Jill moved to York from Brighton. She’s had many solo and group shows and her work's all over the place - from Rwanda to Peru, Tasmania to the Turks and Caicos! She loves the sea. She experiments with materials and techniques, often using her own hand-made paper which has a unique, unpredictable texture. Paints, inks, dyes and pigments build up intense and glowing colour and she enjoys combining throwaway or reclaimed elements with gold and silver leaf. Favourite themes include night skies, the light on the sea, and questions surrounding value and worth.

Venue: Slipway Cottage,Chapel Yard S

Lisa Tindale

Mid September in Staithes - A time to breathe the sea air, wander the old streets and seek out art to inspire. My handmade mosaics are inspired by the colours of land and sea with layered textured collage adding an extra dimension and a nod to a vintage vibe. Boats, cherry hearts and vases are set on a wooden or ceramic base, the designs both whimsical and unique. Also eye-catching ceramic brooches.

Venue: Cowbar View Cottage, Beckside, Staithes TS13 5BU
