GUEST ARTISTS AT THE GALLERY

I am in charge of guest artists at the One Craft Gallery.  They come for a two month period at a time and at the moment there is Craig Eyles - ceramics, and Brigit Lilley - printmaker.

Brigit moved to Shepton in 2006 after a career in art and design education.  She produces colourful, vibrant, abstract prints, using mainly collagraph and monoprint techniques. They are often inspired by the landscape.  She also has a range of card designs based on her prints.


Craig's sophisticated ceramics are produced in his Frome studio.  They are wheel thrown, glazed and fired to 1250 degrees centigrade.  Some are composite forms while others are cut and altered.  He enjoys exploring the variety of proportional and compositional combinations that geometric shapes, such as, the sphere, cylinder, cone and disc have to offer.  He also likes layering glazes to create textured surfaces, to explore matt and gloss, rough and smooth, in one piece of work.

It is a pleasure to have such lovely and talented artworks for sale in the gallery. They provide a fresh look...
