This year, I’m exhibiting again with other members of the Gidding Group (Krystyna Wojcik and Paul Crank) in Great Gidding village hall. I have been doing a lot more work in charcoal recently but will still have plenty of wildlife watercolour pieces on show. I hope you’ll join us and enjoy the wide range of work that we have all been working on as well as the excellent refreshments including home made cakes which will be on sale.

As a Designer Maker I really enjoy working in a variety of different mediums.
I studied at Leicester Polytechnic in the early 80s where I gained a Degree in
Silversmithing and Jewellery, and although I do still make jewellery occasionally
it is not where my focus has been over the years.
I was a Partner in a small business for 12 years where I designed Christmas decorations that were sold to trade.
Over the last 10 years I have mostly worked in painting and printing card and paper,
Creating a variety of commemorative keepsakes, cards, decorations, collage artwork
and 3D boxwork.
I get a lot of inspiration playing with colours, textures and patterns.
More recently I have got totally obsessed with making plaster castings using a variety
of local Flora and Fauna from the garden, resulting in decorative artwork to adorn
walls and shelves.

My work stems from an intuitive and subconscious process. I love the layering of paintings, textures, and mark making. This creates a history to each painting. I feel I escape to another world, but also my artwork is full of emotions from nature and my personal life. My paintings are a way to express myself in an ethereal way.

I will be exhibiting at two different venues over the three weekends:

24 Grange Road
Peterborough

I'm a contemporary painter based on the Rutland and Lincolnshire border in the lovely village of Castle Bytham. Each piece I create is a reflection of the natural beauty that surrounds me, reimagined with an abstract, contemporary twist.

I work in a variety of mediums and in the past year I have begun incorporating clay and resin into my work, adding texture and a three-dimensional quality to my paintings.

I paint landscapes and portraits in traditional style in acrylic and watercolour. I'm experimenting towards oils too! After a career in commerce, I am starting out as I always wanted as an artist. Learning all the time. That also means I need to try new things out so I enjoy abstract work too. But my main buzz is in accuracy of depiction, not for everyone but it is my touchstone. My landscapes are often local scenes of our wonderful rural landscape. Sometimes ancient churches are depicted, mellow and nestled after hundreds of years in their village setting.

Come and see my paintings and enjoy a coffee or cuppa with me. I have limited edition prints and greeting cards available too. Lots of unframed browser original paintings.

I’m Steph, a self-taught potter based just outside Stamford.

My pottery started as a hobby, that turned into an obsession, and is now my job! Each piece is handmade on my potter’s wheel. I work with black, grey and speckled stoneware clay as well as porcelain. I like clean lines and enjoy showing the contrast of the raw unglazed clay with simple glazes. I have recently started working with willow and love the smoothness of the clay against the rough rustic willow. Together, clay and willow have taken over, it has all got a bit out of hand, and I couldn’t be happier!

Please come and join me, along with other artists, at Bainton Reading Room. It is a lovely location with easy access.

I explore the potential relationships between colours, forms and mark-making. A variety of materials and tools are used to portray the emotions of serenity and stillness resulting from my Japanese cultural experience. In creating a piece of art, the surface is often created by pasting a collage and overlaying it with colours to produce a sense of depth. The whole process is executed intuitively in order to avoid complicated details.

Water colour and Mixed Media

I began my watercolour journey during lockdown, through online tutorials. (Thank you to Jean Haines). I’m inspired by colours, light and texture, and constantly searching for the best way to depict them on paper. I never tire of watching the unpredictable nature of these pigments as they react with water. Much preferring to let the colours mix and blend on the paper, rather than planning and mixing my colours in a palette. I prefer to paint without any preliminary pencil sketch, letting the painting dictate what is needed.
For me Watercolour is about the process, and discovering what works, and most often what doesn’t! I’m a bit of a magpie, in that I’m easily distracted by shiny new techniques and approaches. Wanting to try them all. One day I might find what my actual style actually is!

I have made a number of greetings cards, using some of the many different techniques I have been exploring Original art works of various subjects

dei ceramics work & inspiration

My work is a celebration of my love for flowers, landscapes, textiles, nature and found objects. I am influenced by the landscape and surroundings of my home and garden in Rutland and beaches in East of England, Wales and Cornwall and produce-

Nature printed ceramics
Wall Plaques and mini sculptures
Outdoor sculptures
Organic bonsai pots

A large proportion of my work is decorated using nature printing or general printing techniques and often stained to enhance the detail. My quirky wall plaques/wall hangings and mini sculptures are influenced by naive art and the work of Alfred Wallis and John Maltby.

My frost-hardy outdoor sculptures tend to have simple strong lines and a distinctive style that add interest to a garden, especially when set against dark foliage or positioned on hard surfaces.

I handmade organic bonsai pots. Each is unique with no two identical- perfectly imperfect - is how I like to think of them.

Techniques & materials

I use stoneware and occasionally porcelain paper clay. Everything is slab-built or carved and sometimes finished on the wheel. Outdoor pots and sculpture are all kiln fired to 1250-1270C to make them frost-hardy. Indoor items are kiln fired to 1220 - 1250C depending on their finish.

Membership

I am a member of the Anglian Potters, the Nature Printing Society, Northamptonshire and Rutland Open Studio (NROS), and Peterborough Artists Open Studios (PAOS).

I enjoy trying to capture colourful fleeting moments, though I do find that I'm drawn more and more to the beautiful mood stirring colours of dusk evening light. I most often paint with artists’ watercolours, because I love the transparency of the colours, and the challenging unpredictability of the process suits my temperament!

Dehlia has displayed her work at venues across the country and welcomes the public to her workspace during PAOS Open Studios weekends and also by appointment.

Becoming a recent member of Leicester Print Workshop, Dehlia has been able to broaden her knowledge and practice to interpret her designs using other modes of printmaking such as silkscreen printing using CMYK, a four colour layered approach.

Taking her inspiration mainly from what excites and interests her in her rural surroundings, Dehlia's drawings and watercolour sketches form the basis of designs that are then carefully printed by hand. Ask her about any of her works and Dehlia will be happy to tell you the tale behind it.

Recent works include collages inspired by her ever growing collection of ceramics using papers created from cleaning off her print making tools. The colours and textures created were simply too beautiful not to include in her artworks!

Current work is interspersed with small linocut prints inspired by her travels. These tiny studies are printed using her Adana Press, a small press originally designed for letterpress printing. I wonder if you can guess where she has been...

A Scottish artist specializing in painting, drawing and print making.My work is largely figurative, I use symbolism and depictions of the every day to tell stories and communicate ideas. I am interested in what can be read and implied from an object, a face or a place and the resulting assumptions and imagined narrative. During the first lock down I began to explore portraiture, rediscovering acrylic paint. I have since continued to use acrylic paints to depict more ambitious compositions and narratives, alongside daily drawing. I take inspiration from current affairs, popular culture, my own experiences, music,literature and art itself-often depicting or referencing other artists and artworks.

Welcome to Open Studios 2025. Do you know my work?

If so I'm sure I'll see you during open studios again, can't wait to catch up. If not, I hope you appreciate what I do and look forward to introducing you to some of my memories. Each drawing is created initially in a few minutes and captures whatever happens in front of me. Completing them is another story and can take a lot longer.

I'm exhibiting with Jeni Cairns and we're looking forward to another wonderful few weekends of Open Studios. I'm so grateful to Jeni to give me space and provide her beautiful garden for us to relax in.

Life has no meaning for me without creativity. Illustration is what I love. Since moving to Peterborough over ten years ago I've practiced quick illustration of everyday life as it happens, usually from one of the hundreds of benches around the city of Peterborough. I love that I have something so creative in my life.

My work is very loose, illustrative and distinctive. As well as bench views I paint on fabric and my practice includes weekly mindful drawings. Some of my photos of my work leave a lot to the imagination so you'd be very welcomed if you came to visit open studios and see them in person.

Jeni is a wonderful natural gardener so they're lots for everyone. Come chat, wander and have refreshments, not forgetting all the conversation in the world, if you want it, about art, life and nature.

Looking forward to another great open studios.

Best wishes, Lynne

I have been creating for many years.
I graduated from the University of Life Sciences in Poland. There I began to see the beauty in nature.
I started designing gardens. I have painting deep in my soul, and I started painting here in England. I see joy in a colorful garden and want to bring the same mood to the gardens. Many call my style as close to Abstract Impressionism. During my studies, I began to explore Europe in search of inspiration. The German Black Forest, the French Montmartre in Paris, vast fields of tulips in the Netherlands, the Basque culture in San Sebastian, the world of art galleries in London, and finally, the artistically sensitive society of Artists in Peterborough - all of this influenced my charming way of treating colors as a reflection of my mood at the moment. Painting is one of the elements of the sensitive person's environment. Added to it are the plants in the garden, their scent and shape. Sculptures upon which a curious robin always perches, showing off its reddish breast. And woven into all of this are the Lilliput Line cottages, which I collect - completing the enchantment. I invite you to visit my paradise.The mentioned painting works best in the environment of people seeking tranquility and understanding of their surroundings and themselves. In the disorderly colors and techniques, they can find their own memories and solace for their souls. That's why over 20 of my paintings are a constant therapeutic element on the walls of the Central Medical Centre in Peterborough. They immerse patients in contemplation and surprise. Such is also the aim of my life: to provide people with art in a form that makes them feel good. This ensures a well-designed environment both in the garden and at home or work.

Largely self-taught, I am inspired by nature and ordinary life around me. I work mainly in oils, but have ventured into watercolour and pastels occasionally.

I have always loved the feel and texture of oil paint on the canvas. In recent years I took the opportunity to learn more about the history and classical approach to oil painting and enrolled for a one year course at the Norfolk Painting School. I have drawn inspiration from artists, such as Caravaggio, Turner, Sorolla, Joan Eardley and the Scottish Colourists.

DEE-ZYN JEWELLERY - HAND DESIGNED UNIQUE JEWELLERY
Dee-zyn Jewellery was created by myself Deanne Bullimore or Dee, back in 2008. I have been designing and creating silver jewellery for over 15 years now. After completing a silversmith course back in 2010, I decided to explore PMC (precious metal clay) and completed a diploma in this... However, I still felt as though I was not quite there with what I wanted to produce.

Finally I found Wire Sculpture Jewellery, creating twists and swirls to shape and form the wire to encase gemstones within, thus creating completely unique one-of-a-kind pieces using only my hands and small tools. NO soldering!!!

Consequently I fell completely in love with this, and went on to complete 6 Master Class Courses learning the skills and techniques needed to become an expert in the field.

As a result, each piece of jewellery I create is made completely by hand. Setting stones within intricate wire swirls and wraps, I focus on the detail and one-of-a-kind design using master wire sculpting techniques, making every piece truly unique.

I am an international seller, selling online as well as at craft fayres, wedding fayres, trade fayres and galleries.

DEE-ZYN WIRE JEWELLERY SCHOOL
Dee-zyn Jewellery also runs an Inclusive Jewellery School, empowering other people to have a go and learn to create their own beautiful jewellery using the same techniques that I fell in love with. There are many different workshops and courses, providing the knowledge and physical skills needed to create different styles of jewellery.

My motto is that 'everyone can make jewellery' which I wholeheartedly believe. The classes are suitable for all ages and abilities, from complete beginners to those looking at learning new skills and techniques, or even brushing up on their current jewellery making skills. Almost all classes run on weekday evenings or weekends and prices start from just £10.

Dee-zyn Jewellery School is a fast growing independent jewellery training centre based in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. With over 30 classes running each year from beginners to Masterclass, there are plenty to choose from. The classes are run from our fully-equipped jewellery studio in a beautiful garden setting. There is something at Dee-zyn Jewellery School for everyone.

INCLUSIVE CLASSES
We also run a selection of workshops which are called 'Wellbeading'. There are a range of groups that these workshops focus on.
Jewellery making for mental health, a therapeutic beading class that will have you relaxed and in the moment in minutes.
Sensory workshops for people with learning disabilities, sensory processing disorders, ASD and 'just because'. These include aromatherapy workshops, chewy bead workshops and emotion bracelets.

With numerous Health and Social care qualifications and training, Dee-zyn jewellery is able to provide extra special support to our extra special students enabling everyone to have a go at making their own amazing jewellery. Support examples we can offer include; 'Hand under Hand' support, providing symbol cards, using basic Makaton or BSL signs among others.

In my work I use water colours for clarity and transparency, and pastels for animal portraiture. When painting land and seascapes I enjoy using both acrylics and oils.

The way light strikes the clouds, an atmospheric scene, sheen on water all inspire me to paint. To capture these lucid effects I mainly use oil and water colour paints.

Welcome to my Art
Every single work of art ever made in the world has been influenced by images and ideas that came before it. I enjoy the challenge of reclaiming, re-using and re-purposing unwanted items that have come to end of one life, into original art and functional items, with a new purpose.

'Reclaim'
‘Reclaim’ is a series of artworks comprising acrylic painting and collage on rustic reclaimed wood, incorporating recycled steel, unwanted garden ornaments, preloved jewellery and found items from the local landscape.

'Heritage'
Sourcing wood panelling from local Victorian and Manor houses, my new collection takes discarded wood to give new life into household items with a purpose; utensil pots, dried flower vessels, coasters, storage boxes and wildflower wall vases.

Something is created, nothing is destroyed, everything is transformed

Saving the planet one piece of art at a time.

I hope you enjoy the images here and on my website www.karenharrisonart.com

I make jewellery specialising in chain maille and wire work. I use silver plated copper wire to make all of the component parts including all the jump rings which are weaved together to make the final piece. I find it fascinating that such lowly ingredients can make such beautiful jewellery. I add crystals and beads to add bling and colour which helps to make each piece truly unique.

My Passion is creating. My art is constantly evolving, experimenting with various effects that evoke emotions and bring back memories, with an interest in human connections and physical body shapes, exploring a wide range of issues with a distorted sense of realism. I paint using texture and colour, working with oils, mixed media on different surfaces, with a sense of “about” rather than “of”.

I have studied with award winning artist, Martin Kinnear, exploring classical and modern oil painting, referencing painters throughout history to discover how they created their work.

I have exhibited in London, Cambridge, Peterborough, Ely, Wisbech, Sleaford and Stamford. I work from my studio in Crowland Lincolnshire. I have appeared on Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year. I’m Founder of “Artists of Crowland” Facebook and art group and I’m a member of The Deepford Artists and The Lincolnshire Artists Society.

This year I am exhibiting with THE DEEPFORD ARTISTS at the Wilfrid Wood Hall, Barnack, Stamford ,PE9 3DZ.

I have been making ceramics for many years. I love the versatility of clay, and the different effects the glazes can give. I mainly make pots, using several construction methods and use two colour pallets of ivory and blue, I then can concentrate on the challenge of achieving the right finish for every pot.

I am a mixed media, self taught artist, with a passion for Polymer Clay, although I work with many mediums, polymer and other clays are my favourite mediums to work with.

My work is very much intuitive and process led. I take inspiration from abstraction, bold shape & colour, organic forms and definitive textures. I find absolute joy and emotional connection in the art of creating, that nothing else can give.

I took early retirement after 30+ years as a primary school teacher where one of my roles was invariably art co-ordinator - I have always had a bit of an arty streak!

I became interested in mosaics when my head teacher asked me to make one for the school with some lovely tiles which had been donated. Having only ever made mosaic patterns using paper squares in the classroom, the task of proper mosaicking was rather daunting. However after a lot of thought, problem solving and help from some children, a lovely mosaic was conceived and produced which still hangs outside the school. That was in 2006.

Since leaving teaching I still find the whole process of designing, sorting, gluing, grouting, cleaning and finishing a piece to be extremely therapeutic, rewarding and addictive. I now have my own "studio", attend regular craft fairs and take on big and small commissions.

My inspiration comes from where I am "at the moment". My fish and all things seaside happened after a trip to Southwold. The birds and flowers came after a walk through our local bluebell woods. I love scouting around charity shops and vintage markets - always on the lookout for that something special I can use! Quirky glass beads are a favourite find.

Fundamentally my work is all about drawing and mark making; I find it difficult to separate myself from their vitality and importance whether I choose painting, collage, printmaking - or a mixture of the three, ‘Drawing’ is what it continues to be about. ‘Drawing’ with a paintbrush or in collage ‘drawing’ with shapes of paper and colour. Setting in motion the development of an idea plus a sense of renewal and continuation.

Exclusively for Open Studio 2024 'Postcard Exhibition' A collection of postcard size pieces in a variety of media with hidden stories and secrets.

Julie was awarded as one of the six winners in the 41st Mini Print International de Cadaquès 2021/22. The exhibition in Cadaquès Catalunya, has been running for over 40 years and brings together works from over 640 artists worldwide who each submit 4 pieces of work using printmaking and it's tendencies.
As a winner Julie was given a solo exhibition in Gallery Taller Fort in the beautiful town of Cadaquès, famously the home of Dali and a draw to artists from across the globe.The exhibition which ran throughout August 2022 was a great success and & she will be showing similar pieces at her open studio exhibition this

Julie says,

"I am delighted to be, once again, opening my studio, garden & home gallery this year The Miniprint win meant an awful lot to me and I am really excited to share similar works and the process behind the making of them in my studio"

I work in mixed media to create vibrant paintings which are inspired by Heritage textiles from across the globe. An obsession with embroideries, printed fabrics, portraits and shoes is my starting point, and I use oil paint, gold leaf, handmade paper and canvas to create a rich and varied surface, often glazing the final work in resin for added depth of colour. Trained in Fine Art Printmaking, I am including Lino prints on the theme of textiles, with the inclusion of surface pattern from ceramics mainly from the British Museum collections and the National Trust.

I will usually be working on carving my latest Lino print during the exhibition and will be happy to demonstrate. The small garden is open to enjoy the sunshine!

Looking forward to welcoming you back to PAOS 2024
Decorative and functional ceramics and evocative semi-abstract paintings will be on display.
My paintings and ceramics investigate structures, shapes and colours inspired by our natural world. The detail and pattern often overlooked in our busy lives is of special interest. I love how texture allows a play of light and shadow on the surfaces of my work. My aim is not to attempt to mimic nature but rather describe the qualities of a subjective experience intuitively, thereby encouraging the viewer to ‘feel’ their own interpretation of what they see in my work. My garden has become a bigger canvas for my artistic expression and is open for you to explore and enjoy.
Delicious homemade treats available which can be enjoyed in the picturesque garden where mosaic will be on display. Proceeds from refreshments donated to Sue Ryder.
“Hand-building clay into objects inspired by nature’s forms and structures is an extension of my textured, atmospheric painting".

I strive to create a beauty in imperfect harmony known in Japanas Wabi Sabi: Enjoying the moment and life’s simple pleasures...I hope these hand-built objects bring simple pleasure.

Sea, Sky and lanscape inspire my work.

These richly textured and atmospheric paintings are semi abstract and expressionistic.

Rather than mimic nature, I prefer to describe the qualities of a subjective experience.

Paul's work can be seen and purchased if desired on https://www.artintheheart.co.uk/store/paul-saunders-photography/

Paul, a Peterborough-based photographer, produces traditional, art photography and photo restorations. His speciality is Art Photography and photo restoration. He has become known for his Edwardian actress restorations. A number of restorations for private clients have been commissioned and completed to their delight. The restoration process can be either a straightforward tidy-up of small marks or corrections. For instance, from, say sepia toning back to black and white or vice versa. A tidy up or tinting, removing backgrounds, and people, and adding new images of people or new backgrounds.

Art photography is his main interest at the moment. As he completes each image, his enthusiasm for probing further in this direction increases. Many people may think that photography is a poor relation to 'proper' art but Paul states, 'many hours over several weeks can be spent setting up a photo, and there can be no certainty of a successful outcome, there are many failures, but Paul says there is a great feeling of satisfaction when an idea comes to fruition..

Paul says that working with glass is especially difficult. However much it is cleaned before the image is taken it seems to attract any passing dust. Working with glass and backgrounds with straight lines can also be a challenge. You will see the finished article in his exhibition but you won't see the hours spent getting everything as perfect as possible. Paul's restoration experience comes in very useful during the post-processing of the image.

I paint mainly in oils and acrylics and inspiration comes mostly from places I have visited in the UK and abroad. I prefer variety in what I do but, however hard I try to vary my work and not have a "style", I always revert back to landscapes. I do like to have fun with the occasional abstract, though.

Visitors can expect a warm welcome at our Open Studios weekends. We like to provide a friendly atmosphere while you enjoy the art and garden and maybe even a glass of Pimms!

I am a mosaic and textile artist working in Peterborough. In mosaics I use hand cut patterned, plain and mirrored glass with recycled ceramics. I create panels for indoors or outdoors, mirrors, vases and hangings.

I just love experimenting with colour and its interactions in my mosaic and textile work and both feed off each other. In 2002 I did a 5 day intensive mosaic course under the tuition of Luciana Notturni at www.mosaicschool.com in Ravenna Italy. Although based on traditional methods it gave me confidence to experiment and find my own style. I love mixing glass with old ceramics, anything really that makes a piece cohesive. With textiles I layer silks and sheers and create new surfaces which I then free machine stitch.

I am a watercolour/mixed media artist painting mainly landscapes. I like to paint wet-into-wet and find watercolour and also acrylic ink perfect for this technique. I am inspired by the trees in winter with the sun shining through the branches making patterns on the lakes or woodland. Since moving to Longthorpe I have had the opportunity to focus on the rural landscape so close by which has fired my imagination. I usually generate the composition in my head with a photo to help and then back to the studio to paint.

Do come and view my paintings and then feel free to sit in the garden a while. Drinks and light refreshments provided.

I'm a children's book author and illustrator- I work predominantly in watercolour, soft pastel and collage, and love to draw animals! My eighth book, Balancing Bernie, features lots of dogs, and was published in November 2021 by Hodder Children's Books.

I completed a degree in Graphic Design at Bath Spa University, specialising in illustration, followed by a Master’s degree in Children’s Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art. After graduating in 2007, I began to write and illustrate picture books alongside teaching art classes in a primary school, during which I invariably managed to get more paint on myself than the children did!

Now fully freelance, I create books and run children’s art classes from my studio (see Artivity), ably assisted by my basset hound, William.

I also enjoy working in ceramics and have recently been working on a series of little dogs!
