Primarily a freelance illustrator and printmaker, I have, over the past few years, delved into the world of ceramics. I enjoy the process of creating work through intense processes, which in a way force a slow, considered approach, contrasting with intuitive mark-making in both printmaking and pottery.   Exhibiting as part of Deepford Artists.

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).   PAOS 2025 I and dei ceramics will be on display at Rene Viner's studio (René Viner - Peterborough Artists Open Studios %) and garden on 28/29th June, together with Petra Wrights functional ceramics. 5/6 and 12/13 June I will be in my studio/garden in Ketton, Rutland.

Ruth Hudson is an experimental print maker and painter. Her original linocuts are printed on an 1856 lithograph press from her home studio in Stamford. After studying Combined Arts at Newcastle University, Ruth went on to train at the Chelsea School of Art and the Leicester Print Workshop. Her work is influenced by her previous career working in Interior and fashion magazine production. She is inspired by German Abstract Expressionism and Bauhaus Aesthetics. Ruth has produced prints of many local landscapes including Burghley House, Normanton Church, Oakham Market Square and distinctive buildings in an around Stamford. Ruth uses the 'reduction' method of printmaking, favoured by Pablo Picasso who coined the term 'suicide printing'. Her work is often bold and graphic and hopes to reflect current trends and, quietly, offer a form of social commentary. https://www.instagram.com/ruth__hudson/ You can subscribe to Ruth's newsletter to be the first to know about forthcoming events and workshop via http://www.rhprints.com Ruth Hudson also screen prints a limited edition t shirt and sweatshirt range using her original prints. Using eco friendly inks, the designs are printed on to organic ethical cotton. Ruth is hoping to have her new collection ready in time for the Peterborough Open Studios. http://www.rhprints.com [caption id="attachment_22154" align="alignnone" width="478"] An original linocut print[/caption] I will be exhibiting as part of the Deepford Art Group on 28 and 29 June 2025 at Barnack Village Hall. https://paos.org.uk/visitors/

[caption id="attachment_23236" align="alignnone" width="322"] Dehlia in her studio[/caption] Dehlia Barnard-Edmunds is a printmaker/creative, exploring the diverse and exciting world of print. Currently, she is enjoying the process of linocut printing, monotypes, screen printing on paper and textiles plus collaging. 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... Dehlia is an experienced teacher offering classes and tutorials, which can be discussed on your visit. The garden is open and refreshments offered.

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" Julie's work is shown and collected internationally

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!

[caption id="attachment_24971" align="alignnone" width="278"] Of People - oil[/caption]   Prue’s Paintings Prue Pye's life paintings contain a quiet presence reflected in earth colours and are the main body of her work. Abstracted landscapes described in sweeps and blocks of colour are also a favoured subject. "My wanting to paint is a wanting to explore the ordinary and extraordinary of humanness. Drawing or painting in ways that communicate or speak of recognition and familiarity." Collaged pieces have become a renewed addition to my current work. I use painted pieces torn from my own work, or monoprints prepared on tissue. These torn pieces are added and worked over or through into the background usually towards an abstracted landscape   About Prue Born and raised in Africa, my fine art studies as a mature student led me to discover and develop life paintings with a contemporary feel. A need to express myself in colour gave me a language in paint. I had taught botanical studies and the modelling of flowers for many years and these tiny, fragile pieces later     turned to the direction of larger, expressive painting.
