Wheel thrown ceramics in porcelain and stoneware

Wheel thrown domestic and decorative items, all made from porcelain or stoneware, fired and glazed at Broughton House Studios.

TIMOTHY BROWN

Ceramics

Born in Salisbury and happily returned to Wiltshire after over sixty years as a professional horn-player, I now make pots rather than music.

I find a strong parallel between attempting to form a beautiful phrase in music and trying to produce a form in porcelain which feels “just right”.

As well as bowls, cylinders and small vases I make stoneware plates for use at the table.

JOHANNA HALFORD
Artist

Johanna is a Hampshire-born artist who studied and lived in France for many years before returning to Broughton in 2016. She has exhibited regularly in London and Paris and is known for her use of colour and sense of composition. The tree and water-filled landscape she has been creating around her home over the past five years is the inspiration for her latest paintings.

GABRIELLE TAIT
Artist

I studied fashion design at Saint Martin’s and then worked as a designer in London.

After moving around with the Army for many years, Edward and I settled in Broughton in 1994. I started painting for recreation in 2012, mainly in watercolours, but also pen and wash, acrylics, pastels, charcoal and occasionally oils.  I like to tackle landscapes, seascapes, buildings and still life.  I also keep a ‘Doodle-a-Day’ diary with something topical or how I am feeling.

Classy Glass

Six unique artists working in glass and metal

We are a group of glass enthusiasts who mostly met through workshops over 10 years ago, and now get together on a monthly basis to continue our craft.  We work on individual projects whilst sharing ideas and experience. Each of us has different areas of interest and collectively we cover the range of glass disciplines including leaded and copper foil work, fusing and glass painting.

We make suncatchers, lampshades, glass panels including inset into wooden boxes, garden ornaments, jewellery and coasters

MONICA WILSON

Designer-maker of silver jewellery

With a life-long passion for the environment and active conservation work, Monica draws inspiration from the textures, shapes and colours of nature.

Life-like silver bees perching on honeycomb, cast oak leaves, acorns, ginkgo and sycamore, enamel butterflies, flowers and chalk-stream inspired brooches are all examples of my collection.

Designed and hand made by me using silver-smithing techniques such as casting, repousse and hand-forming.  I add colour using enamel, gold, pearls and amber.  Burnishing adds flashes of sunlight.

My training has been with many specialist experts, including: Jinks McGrath, Fabrizio Acquafresca, Jessica Turrell, and at Goldmiths, City Lit and elsewhere.

LISA JOHNSON

Country Designs by Lisa Jewellery

Inspired by her love of nature and a passion for the British Countryside, Lisa captures the simple beauty of natural items in her work. She uses a combination of traditional silversmithing techniques and silver clay to create her designs.

Lisa also teaches the alchemy of silver clay jewellery making at beautiful rural venues across Hampshire, and is the tutor at Peter Symonds Adult Education College in Winchester. She is a highly qualified tutor and has a teaching award, as well as holding qualifications from both Art Clay and PMC, the leading brands.

All her pieces are designed and handcrafted in her studio, using a mixture of silver clay and traditional silversmithing techniques.

SARAH WESTON

Linocut Artist
Following careers in graphic design and teaching, Sarah Weston now works as a printmaker. Sarah has always loved vibrant illustrations and bold use of colour and, since discovering relief printmaking, she has developed her own style of contemporary linocut prints. All her work is printed by hand so subtle variations occur between them, making each one unique.

Most of Sarah’s prints are limited editions, created using the ‘reduction’ method which enables a multi-coloured print to be produced layer by layer from one block. She enjoys the challenges of working in this way, even if there is no going back once the lino has been carved for the next layer! Much of Sarah’s inspiration comes from colours, shapes and patterns found in nature and many of her designs capture different aspects of our coast and countryside.

LESLEY HESLOP

Mixed Media Artist

Lesley was born in County Durham in 1956. Attending Grammar School she was taught art by the well renowned Sheila Mackie (artist and illustrator). Sheila was the inspiration that developed her interest and passion for drawing and painting.

On leaving school, Lesley attended Didsbury College of Education where she studied art as part of her degree. Here she focused on the technique of batik. Landscapes were significant in her work focusing on their shapes and forms and the colours that could be created using Procion dyes.

More recently, Lesley has been a member of local artist, Lynne Pugh’s art group and is also a member of the Wallop Artists. She lives in a cottage in Upper Clatford with her husband and cat ‘Smarty’, who is always by her side.

Using a variety of media, she enjoys painting still life and landscapes. Her main exhibitions include the Wallop Artists’ exhibitions and more recently the Test Valley Art Trail.

Her style is semi- abstract or naïve, focusing on light and shadow. Working in acrylic on board, pastel and watercolour she uses the rich qualities to give her paintings a strong physical presence.

VICKI HUNT

Artist

A self taught artist working in different mediums, celebrating British landscape. Original paintings in acrylic, mixed media and digital form. Intricate fountain pen drawings of birds, animals and fish.

LINDSAY MURRAY-TWINN

Oils, Acrylics, watercolour, drawing, Mixed media

Lindsay taught art after training at art school in the 1960s. She learnt the discipline of drawing, composition and use of paint.  She then travelled and taught extensively in the Far East, where the colours and intensity of light influenced her choice of palette.

Colour is very important to her, combined with the exciting variety of textures resulting from collage.  Acrylic paints and inks allow her to build up layers of pattern and interacting vibrant colours so that the often heavily textured painting comes alive.

Drawing and sketching from life form a strong part of Lindsay’s approach to painting.  Life drawing and attending classes help to keep her fresh and open to the excitement of the many new media products available to painters.

Painting any media.
Portraits animals people. Soapstone sculpture

My love of art goes right back to my childhood. I studied Fine art, painting and graphics, at Liverpool JMU.I also qualified as a teacher.

Over the years I have developed an eclectic repertoire, I like to try new techniques and media, I paint in oils, acrylics, watercolour and pastel. I like to draw in both coloured pencils and graphite. I also enjoy working in 3D, particularly carving soapstone.

I have undertaken many commissions for portraits of animals and people. I am able to offer a number of styles and media to a client and as well as the UK I have my work in the US and Australia.

ALTA EDWARDS
Artist

Working in a variety of mediums -, acrylic, pastels but mainly oils- I create paintings of the subjects that I have a connection with: vivid flowers, landscapes, birds and abstracts. My subjects are varied but all my work displays my distinctively bold signature style.

I enjoy creating miniature paintings, but my real passion is working with large canvasses, creating paintings that tend more towards abstraction which allows my inner child to come out and play.

GILLIAN PUGH

Pen and Wash Painter

I was born in Scotland and lived in Pakistan for some of my childhood and have been in Broughton since I was fourteen years old.  I started to draw and paint with my family some years ago.  I have found the west coast of Scotland very inspiring – something to do with the light that is unlike anywhere else.  I seem to concentrate on the beauty of our landscape which I find irresistible.

GEORGE GAMMER

Photographer

A selection of beautiful silver/gelatin black-and-white landscape photographs.

I started taking photographs six decades ago when in my early teens and it still seems magical to this day. For the last few years I have been working solely with analogue materials – large-format film and silver/gelatin prints. What is important to me is the physicality of a work mounted on a wall in a particular space.

CHRIS HARVEY

Photographer

I consider myself to be an experimental image maker creating work that expresses my character currently working and presenting cyanotypes.

ED CRISPIN

SALLY TYLER

Painter

My inspiration comes from both the natural and the manmade environment, from colours and the play of light to textures and patterns.  I love to experiment with different mediums and mark making tools and I use acrylic, watercolour and gouache.  Paintings often evolve naturally and develop through the build up of layers of colour, texture and glazes, sometimes this results in abstracted land or seascapes and sometimes in pure abstract.  The most important thing is to have fun in the process and this often leads to experimentation and the addition of decorative elements.

TINA PYBUS

Artist

My love of painting started by joining a local art group 20 years ago, and I now tend to paint mainly in acrylics, but also doing some work using acrylic inks and watercolour brushes. Our family has a livestock farm fairly locally which has been my inspiration, and may well be why I have been attracted towards painting my own interpretation of animals, amongst other subjects..

COLIN MARETT

Wood Turner

I like to work with native hardwoods and often casualties of storms, I feel like I am a “Wood Whisperer” when I rescue from a pile of wood, such lovely grained wood that maybe were gateposts or branches for birds to perch on but now no longer functional and I can give them a new purpose.

Yew is a particular favourite because of its colour and diversity of pattern. Nature is my inspiration in all its forms.  Recently I have made a variety of different birds from waders to birds of prey each one being a character, always individual.  I also make bowls, platters, boxes, apples, pears, bananas along with natural forms.
