JULIAN MARCH – Ceramics
Jules is all about soul food crockery. His collection spans the functional and the decorative: from bowls and plates to vases and jugs, food to flowers. What sets Jules’ work apart are the interesting and vibrant colour combinations, paired with quirky, playful shapes that add character and charm to every piece. Much like humans, every piece carries its own small idiosyncrasies, making each creation special in its own right, just like us – perfectly imperfect,
and full of personality.
YVETTE PHILLIPS – Textiles & Embroidery
Yvette combines vintage fabrics with intricate hand embroidery to create boldly coloured and visually striking works of art. Her pieces range from small, finely detailed embroidered works to large-scale collages, each showcasing a rich and diverse palette of colours, patterns, and textures. Her work is deeply inspired by her love of nature and the natural world.
KARINA TARIN – Oil Painting
Karina’s richly coloured narrative oil paintings are inspired by ancient stories, symbolism, Renaissance and medieval art. Her work is a celebration of resilience, beauty and the magic that is an intangible part of our everyday lives. She is drawn to the age-old stories that are told to make sense of life and the powerful natural world around us – the myths, fables, folklore and symbolism that are woven into our collective understanding of the world and our place in it.
ELEANOR WONG – Semi-abstract Painting
Ellie’s practice explores connections – to oneself, others, and the world we inhabit – through animals as powerful gateways revealing human essence. Inspired by childhood play and her children’s unfiltered creativity, she builds dioramas to capture scenes, energy and imagined dialogues, drawing from them to create layered paintings, blending, oil, acrylic and ink.
