LIZ CLAY MA (RCA)
SILVER |
Liz challenges the intrinsic
value of silver as it imitates transient substances like paper,
resulting in small tactile objects and larger sculptures.
She endeavours to augment the aesthetic value with minimum
apparent intervention. Materials are used in combinations
which contradict traditional perceptions, metal replaces mass-produced
disposable ephemera, questioning the value we place on the
stuff we discard.

JONATHAN LEECH
WOOD TURNING |
I have lived in Cumbria
all of my life, and the area is a continual source of inspiration.
I prefer a minimalist style, allowing the wood to express
itself within a simple design. I generally work with hardwoods
and am happy to produce work to commission. I am passionate
about the environment and only use Cumbrian wood which has
been obtained in a sustainable manner.
I can also produce items from customers' own timber.
