Catherine Dodds

Catherine Dodds works in terracotta clay fired to stoneware temperatures. Her work is wheel thrown with the occasional sculptural anomaly. Going from earthenware to stoneware has thrown up all sorts of glazing possibilities and the results are constantly surprising to her. Recently she discovered free clay was to be found in the river, and has continued to be surprised and perplexed by what it produces.

Lone Quist Edwards

I break down the world around me into abstract shapes and colours. Whether working in paint or making collages I am interested in layering and overlapping of tone and texture. I am inspired by my Scandinavian background where light and colour play an important role in people’s daily lives especially in the winter months when daylight is short and landscape can be bleak.
