SARAH BRELSFORD: Stained Glass Artist and Recycled Tin Jeweller. After working for twenty years in the textile industry, designing for all the main retailers, I wanted to work with different media in new and fresh ways. Inspired by nature and specialising in floral prints I have transferred my skills, capturing beautiful designs on a variety of tins and giving them a new life as delicate, unique jewellery. 07793 541430 [email protected]

BARBARA HELM: As an artist and printmaker, producing work that covers a variety of techniques and sometimes combines print with other media, I constantly examine, experiment, and draw inspiration from my own life and my experiences of the natural world. Art for me is about making and the satisfaction I gain from creating work that comes from the amalgamation of perception and interpretation. 07825 252003 [email protected]

ALBERT HOOGLAND: I started a few years ago, using a small home-built forge, in which I make things I like; things that provide technical challenges and by way of trial and error I learn about blacksmithing. Having had no formal background education in metal work everything has to be learnt in a non-conventional way. No smooth pieces from the foundry produced steel stock are left untouched by hammer and anvil. This makes no two pieces alike. 07975 879101 [email protected]

TRACY CUPITT: I am an artist and designer based amidst the natural beauty of the English Peak District landscape. I have painted and drawn all my life. I aim to create work with love and joy, capturing a sense of the delights of the natural world: delicate spring flowers at dawn, calm and quiet; the colourful fullness of summer at midday,bold abstract patterns of nature where wonder and joy abound!
