Miller Honeyman’s contemporary folk style pattern designs are featured on Lancashire woven linen and organic cotton homeware. Tamsin’s hand drawn, painted and printed designs are inspired by the landscape, folklore and traditions of the north of England.
Having been brought up near the shores of Morecambe Bay, Susan finds a constant source of inspiration from the manmade and natural elements of her environment. She creates her work using mainly watercolour and sometimes acrylic or oils,
I am drawn to the contrasts of light and shape in both objects and nature. By using mainly acrylic and sometimes collage, I try to interpret those contrasting elements until I have a striking image. My work is always evolving.
Sue Leech is a printmaker based in Grange-over-Sands. From her studio overlooking Morecambe Bay, Sue creates limited edition prints using linocut, collagraph and mono-print. Colour, texture and pattern are all key components in her work.
I work with a range of materials and beads sourced from quality suppliers across Europe and the UK, to make pendants, woven necklaces and bracelets, earrings and other items in a range of different styles and designs.
Stuart Sykes has over 45 years experience as a professional woodworker. For 10 years he was Woodturner in Residence at Brockhole National Visitor Centre, where he demonstrated his craft to many thousands of visitors. He has supplied many organisations with his work, including The National Trust and English Heritage and his work has been enthusiastically received by many galleries. Stuart now concentrates on green woodworking working with local timbers and recycling timber from broken furniture. He uses these materials to make decorative and useful items. In his latest phase Stuart is making smaller pieces for the home using recycled and reclaimed timber in both their natural and painted form. His ambition is to use only recycled materials including wood, fittings and paint, making no two pieces alike, each piece an individual hand made piece of art.

Since retiring I have enjoyed expanding my love of sewing and crafting with an emphasis on upcycling. I will have a variety of sewing items, silk button, decoupage and upholstered stools and hopefully some from upcycled whisky barrel staves!

Sadie started ‘dot painting’ 2 years ago, finding it therapeutic and very addictive (especially Mandala designs). Using bright acrylic paints, a wide variety of art is available. Small gifts such as bookmarks/keyrings to stonecast tealights and canvas paintings, something for everyone.
