Hello, I'm Christina, the self proclaimed Queen of Cats. I live in Woodston, Peterborough with my partner, two children and many pets,where we run a childminding business from home. I've always enjoyed crafting, but never found my true passion until I started working with resin. This has progressed from buying and using store-bought molds, to creating our own molds and designs, the best sellers of which are my unique Cat ornaments. I also enjoy decoupaging stones. During lockdown, like many people, given the extra time at home, I decided to open an Etsy store and Instagram account to promote and sell my creations. We are easily accessible, located in Woodston, Peterborough, just out of the city centre and will be opening up our garden and offering refreshments.

As an artist I don’t like working in just one medium, my work can be anything from figurative sculpture to mixed media painting using various materials using vibrant colours. I like to bring joy and inspire people with my art, with my own creative expression through my own mental health, feelings and diversity experiences, I found my voice through my art. I also like to expand my artistic expression by experimenting and discovering new materials or recycled objects to work with in a unique way. A perfect place to visit to relax with a warm inviting atmosphere, get away from it all and connect with other like minded people appreciating art. Refreshments available.

DEE-ZYN JEWELLERY - HAND DESIGNED UNIQUE JEWELLERY Dee-zyn Jewellery was created by myself Deanne Echarri 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 wire 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, I now design and craft quality silver and copper wire jewellery using precious and semi-precious stones from around the world. Each piece is unique and crafted by hand using master wire sculpting techniques. 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 a Wire 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 techniques or brushing up on their former jewellery making skills. Almost all classes run on weekday evenings and 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.   JEWELLERY MAKING TASTER WORKSHOPS DURING POAS Each day of PAOS, there will be taster sessions where you can have a go at making an item of jewellery.  These are all at discounted prices which include all materials, tuition, and use of tools.

[caption id="attachment_5865" align="alignright" width="300"] Artisan Felter Eve Marshall & Coppersmith Shalini Austin with their collaborative sculptures 'Seagull and 'Arthur the Dodo'[/caption] For several years I have collaborated with Felt Artist Eve Marshall and to make sculptures and giftware. As a result of our art collaborations feature often in the work I exhibit. I also collaborate with my husband who took up palletwood upcycling during the first lockdown in 2020, when he could not go to work. I make components for his pieces and also use pallet wood to mount my wall art pieces and as sculpture base.

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!

Inspired by true tales of nature, place, history & people...  A treasure-trove of mixed media sculptures, miniature porcelain, digital artworks, handmade greetings cards & more - inspired by local history and wildlife! And a warm welcome to my garden studio. Plus my 'Meadow and Sea' porcelain decorations. About Kathryn... My work is an adventure, flowing from a love of nature, history and place. Underpinned by research and driven by curiosity, I seek out and share some of the fascinating little-known stories of this amazing planet and the people who’ve lived here. Often working with museums, historic locations and wildlife organisations, I use materials and techniques that best tell the story. I also create beautiful handmade treasures for people's homes, and run workshops that nurture creativity and delight in nature. Workshops include NatureCraft online creative gatherings, which happen on a Tuesday and Monday once a month. Currently Artist in Residence with Langdyke Countryside Trust, much of the work you'll find in this year's Open Studio is inspired by Langdyke's nature reserves and the wider 'John Clare Countryside'. For the last year, the site of an ancient forgotten meadow has been the focal point of this work - Westings Meadow is now a place of nature reserves and gravel extraction. Neolithic families once gathered here and Victorian poet John Clare walked and wrote about this place. If you can't make it to the weekend Open Studios dates, please get in touch and we'll try and find another time.   Exhibitions, Awards, Events & Workshops... I have exhibited at The National Centre for Craft & Design (solo and group exhibitions), and created site-specific artworks for Burghley House, University of Leicester, John Clare Trust, Derby Museum’s porcelain gallery and on nature reserves. In 2012 one of my artworks was selected for “Inspired by…” exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. And in 2023, I was selected to be a member of ArtCan.
