Anne Gray - De-ji Creations

I love beautiful things and I love to create them. About 10 years I discovered beads and jewellery and I am not ashamed to admit that making jewellery is now a bit of an addiction! I love trying different techniques and materials. Most of the jewellery and accessories I make are one of a kind. I can repeat a item on request but there may be some differences due to variations in the components used especially if they are handmade or organic.

I was taught to knit by my grandmother and enjoy creating a range of knitwear in a wide variety of textures materials. I am currently making ruffle and loopy scarves as well as wraps and shrugs in a wide range of colours. All my products are suitable for people who cannot wear wool and can be machine washed.

I also enjoy making preserves and using home grown produce to provide fresh, tasty, preservative and additive free jams and chutneys. This year I has been fantastic for apples hence the wide range of apple based jellies and chutneys.

Jane A Vince

Biography:

I was very keen on art at school and gained a ‘O’ level. I then joined evening classes to paint china with a leading painter from Royal Worcester Porcelain. Then however work commitments and having my two children intervened meaning painting took a back seat until I retired.

I now attend regular painting sessions with Frankie Cummins and occasional workshops with Claire Warner who are both very supportive. I love the transparency of watercolours; you can’t make mistakes you just have to live dangerously to get the best out of them!! .

I started off painting still life but now love painting flowers, animals and the occasional landscapes.

I have recently had a successful first solo exhibition in Arundel and regularly exhibit with Newbury Art Group.

Patricia Clarke

Upon retirement I took a foundation diploma in art as a mature student
Although I love to paint, my first love is ceramics.
Whether I am producing a piece of studio pottery or an animal sculpture texture is important to me
Each piece is individual, some pieces are glazed whilst others are not, and I like to experiment with different clays.

Situated in the West Berkshire/North Hampshire area, Roelofs & Rubens is a one-woman company designing and producing handmade and hand painted blue and white tableware, tiles and decorations.

‘I believe it’s time for something more contemporary on the old Welsh dresser’ says Piet van den Beuken, Roelofs & Rubens’ founder, owner and designer, ‘I have been a collector of blue and white crockery since I was a poor student in Amsterdam, believing that having all kinds of different patterned blue and white dishes was thrifty, because they were easy to replace with any other blue and white ware if they got smashed.
My collection grew when travelling and living abroad, but I noticed there was not much contemporary blue and white china available. A session at a ‘paint your own pottery’ café gave me the inspiration to start my own blue and white tableware company. My basic idea was a more modern blue and white line, handmade and hand painted with unique designs, avoiding the use of decals or transfers and to apply the same blue pigments on all wares, so ranges could easily be mixed and matched with each other and with the more traditional patterns that people already own.
Although having no knowledge of pottery or glazing whatsoever I bought a kiln, gave up my job as a kitchen shop manager and that was the beginning of Roelofs & Rubens. The name was chosen by my English friends from a choice list of continental sounding and sometimes unpronounceable names.
Production is all happening in our home. The dining room table is the design studio and it’s also where production takes place. Glazing and firing are done in the shed where the kiln is. The shed also doubles up as a showroom where our products are on display.

It took a year to develop thirty or more designs, to experiment with painting techniques, to produce stencils and stamps and to source a genuine English supplier of truly good quality English earthenware bisque and tiles’. The range has grown to include tiles, hanging decorations and other items.

I have been taking photos since the age of 9 years when my Gran gave me a Brownie box camera of about 1920 vintage!.

After leaving school and earning my own money I bought an SLR camera taking mainly black & white pictures, developing and printing in my bedroom. Later with the advent of better cameras and good quality colour slide film, I furthered my hobby amassing a vast collection of slides.

In 2002 wanting to take my hobby further I went to college evening classes taking a City & Guilds photography course. Over the next three years I studied seven modules in different aspects of photography gaining six distinctions & one credit which qualified me for an LRPS from the Royal Photographic Society.

After college I joined Hungerford Camera Club and am currently the competition secretary. My main area of interest is fine art landscape photography which combines my love of photography and wild places.

My love of photography is being out the landscape and capturing an image to best of my ability and then presenting it as a printed photograph that conveys the image that I wanted to show. With the advent of digital photography you have to try just that bit harder because all the world and his dog has a means of taking a snap whether it be camera or phone. I try and keep the Photoshop element to a minimum so retain the integrating of the image.

I also mount & frame my work as well as doing mounting & framing for other people.

I will accept commissions that I feel I can do justice to.

I started working with clay over 10 years ago, and continue to study with Chris Lack. My work falls into two distinct categories

1)  themes drawn from long walks along beaches or in woodlands, abstracted onto decorative plaques, plates and wall hangings.

2) small, fun, sculptures, gifts and decorations in Teresa Ellen Ceramics.  When I was working full time   I dreamed of being one of those Ladies Who Lunched, tall, slim and impeccably elegant.....I'm still not, but I love to create the accessories to go with the dreams!

After more than 30 years teaching Art in secondary schools from Hartlepool to Hampshire I have finally stopped.
I now enjoy playing with all the materials I never got round to before. I flit from sheet silver to copper to wood and batik to collage. One idea fires off another and I relish the variety.

If you have an idea sparked off by any of my work, don't hesitate to get in touch I'd be pleased to discuss it with you.
