I create vibrant, floral compositions that blend painting, printmaking and experimental techniques. Drawing inspiration from my own garden, and the surrounding countryside, I combine floral art with wild birds and animals to create a wild edge to my work.
I have been commissioned many times to make work for private collectors and I am always happy to discuss a project.
My artwork is enamelling on copper, fired in a kiln. My work includes copper bowls, jewellery, framed pictures and lots more
Hi, I am Jo and I hand weave, spin, wet felt and knit from my studio in Stourbridge. I take inspiration from the legacy of heritage crafts, combining natural fibres with colours, patterns and textures, sourcing from British wool producers, mills and Indie dyers and various other British small businesses as much as possible.
I create accessories such as scarves, bags, purses and hats and also household items such as tea towels, wash mitts, rugs and felted bird nest pods. All are beautiful and practical with many of them being a one of a kind designs. More recently I have been looking for ways to incorporate my loom waste and left over felt into my work, producing some unique items ! I am open to commissions and also run workshops from studio at Ruskin Glass Centre.
Nina Finch is a Shropshire-based ceramicist whose work explores the intersection of resilience, nature, and the tactile beauty of clay. After years of sidelining her creative instincts, Nina embraced her calling in 2019, evolving from a self-taught enthusiast into a skilled maker of functional stoneware and sculpture.
Working from her Shropshire studio, Nina creates pieces that celebrate authenticity. Her Gallery Range is particularly distinctive; by subjecting damp clay to physical impact before high-temperature firings, she explores themes of survival and the unique beauty that emerges from being “forever changed” by life’s challenges. Whether crafting a perfectly weighted mug or a “wounded” ceramic vase, her practice remains rooted in the belief that art is a vital, accessible form of expression.
As she moves through 2026, Nina continues to push the boundaries of her medium, drawing inspiration from the Shropshire landscape and the quiet strength found in handmade objects. Her work is available via her online shop and at Made at 16 in Ludlow.
Nina’s journey serves as a reminder that it is never too late to reshape your own narrative—one piece of clay at a time.
I am a Shrewsbury based illustrator working under the name Lizzistration. My work celebrates the people, places and everyday landmarks that shape my life. As a proud Salopian, I draw inspiration from local architecture, pubs, sporting culture and family connections, capturing scenes that hold shared meaning within the community. I work digitally using Procreate, building images through layered line and colour to create vibrant compositions that balance structure with spontaneity.
My illustrations reimagine familiar buildings and moments, using bold colour palettes and transparent overlays to evoke collective memory while reflecting the town’s evolving landscape. The work feels both contemporary and nostalgic, offering a fresh perspective on places people think they know.
Alongside my full-time role as an art teacher, I have developed a home studio where I continue to expand my practice. I am currently exploring ways to translate my digital illustrations into printed and clay-based outcomes, extending my imagery beyond paper. Although my work is rooted in personal experience, it aims to resonate widely through a strong sense of place, identity and community.
I create collage images of Shropshire market towns using paper from recycled magazines . The originals are photographed and turned into prints and cards.Prints are sold framed or unframed.
I love to create commissions of houses, businesses , pets or landscapes.
For me photography is about curiosity. It is about opening our eyes to the beauty that lies hidden in the everyday things around us. The patterns formed by a tattered and decaying shop sign, the flower like symmetry of an arrangement of café tables or the columns and iron lacework of a pier contrasted against a perfectly uniform sea and sky.
I don’t use Photoshop and other than some cropping I don’t manipulate my photographs in any way. I prefer to capture and print the image as it appears using natural light, distortion through reflection and unusual angles to stimulate new ways of looking at the world.
A focus on pattern, shape and form are also key elements of my collages which use incongruous combinations of fragments of magazine cuttings to create abstract images.
