Caren Threlfall
Brenda Garsden
I walk around Arnside and the South Lakes almost everyday and am inspired by the colours and shapes that I see. My work is sometimes representational or semi abstract drawn from real scenes.
Bittern Countryside CIC
The Bittern Countryside CIC returns with Marvellous Moths, a display of moth-inspired artwork by local schoolchildren. In workshops delivered by Larksfoot CIC, children have created pieces to raise awareness of our local moths, the threats they face and what we can do to help them.
Beverley Atkins
I work mainly in acrylics and like experimenting with different techniques to create abstract landscapes or pure abstract pieces. I enjoy building up layers of colour!
Benjamin Mcleod
Born in Preston, Ben studied Fine Art at Lancaster University. Followed by Theology and work with students in London, he settled in the Lakes in 2002. His painting is heavily influenced by this move – surrounded and immersed in the landscape

Annie McNaughton
I create decorative mosaics from pottery shards, scavenged from Silverdale beaches, and from other broken crockery. I also make ceramic, hand-built plaques, pots and garden ornaments. I often make my own ceramic pieces to include in my mosaics. We will also be serving drinks and cakes, in aid of The Alzheimers Society.
Anne Kerr – Floral Linings
My name is Anne, I run my business Floral Linings from my home workshop in the Lake District, creating unique handstitched notebooks/journals from remnants, gorgeous pieces of leather and enhancing them with a lovely floral material lining all then hand stitched into place. I love being creative and the escape it brings, combining my love of sewing and creating I started to make my notebooks using my fabrics that I have collected over the years and some remnant leather that I had. Living in such a beautiful part of the country I am surrounded by nature in all its glory and my daily dog walks always provide me with new inspiration.

Angela Pollard – Artisan Soaps and Ceramics
Handcrafted by Angela. I started out making cold processed soaps to help reduce plastic waste in our household. This then became a quest to source handcrafted soap dishes and so the ceramic side of my business developed. I find the process of making everything by hand in small batches creative and calming.
