Tracy Nicholls

Perfectly Imperfect — edges crumble, surfaces pit, and cracks and voids begin to emerge.

Working from her studio in Southwest London, Tracy creates kiln-formed glass sculptures that explore themes of erosion, deterioration, and fragility. Her work is inspired by the traces left behind through these processes and the intricate structures that endure despite them.

Rejecting the qualities most commonly associated with glass—transparency, brilliance, and high shine—Tracy embraces a restrained monochrome palette and opaque materials. Through the transformative heat of the kiln, she manipulates and distorts the glass, navigating the tension between careful planning and unexpected outcomes. By pushing the material to its physical limits, she reveals delicate forms shaped equally by intention and chance.

Layered constructions and the interplay of light further enrich each piece. As light filters through undulating apertures and reflects within hidden curves, depth, shadow, and subtle luminosity emerge. The result is a quiet yet compelling aesthetic that draws attention to the beauty found in imperfection and the often-overlooked details of decay.

Katharine Morling

Katharine Morling creates striking ceramic sculptures that blur the boundary between drawing and object. Best known for her monochrome porcelain works, she transforms everyday items into hand-drawn, three-dimensional forms that appear as though they have stepped directly from the pages of a sketchbook. Through delicate black linework and carefully crafted surfaces, her sculptures evoke themes of memory, nostalgia, storytelling, and human presence.

Working primarily with porcelain, Katharine Morling builds life-sized installations of domestic objects, furniture, tools, and personal belongings that feel both familiar and dreamlike. Her distinctive visual language combines the fragility of ceramics with the immediacy of drawing, creating immersive works that are playful, poetic, and emotionally resonant. Each piece invites viewers to imagine the stories behind the objects, exploring the quiet relationships between people, place, and memory.

Ella Merriman

Ella Merriman is a London-based artist and designer whose practice centres on the endangered craft of rush basketry. Harvesting rush by hand from slow-flowing rivers across the UK, her work reflects a deep engagement with material, place, and process, while exploring the growing disconnection between humans and the natural world.

Combining traditional techniques with found objects collected from London streets, Ella Merriman creates a dialogue between urban and rural environments. Her practice is rooted in slow, tactile making, guided by intuition and the inherent qualities of her materials.

Through experimental forms, she reimagines everyday and discarded objects, extending rush basketry beyond its functional origins into conceptual and decorative realms. Her work engages with themes of preservation, renewal, and the subtle presence of nature within contemporary life.

Sara Stode Winter

Swedish born, London based artist Sara Stode Winter has spent her working life in steady pursuit of creative fulfilment. With a background in fine art and illustration and many years of professional experience in different creative fields, she has acquired a strong artistic confidence and a unique expression that manifests in her abstract paper sculptures. Taking inspiration from her Scandinavian roots, Sara’s sculptures showcase a refined aesthetic and a considered use of colours and materials which, along with her avant-garde mindset, lends each piece an intriguing air of beauty and wonder.
Control is overrated. Interesting things happen when you surrender to the fact that you never really had any in the first place. Shedding a lifelong quest for perfection and preciseness I am now making art as an exploration of what happens when an open creative mind meets malleable materials.

Sara Stode Winter makes large scale sculptures out of quality Italian crepe paper. “When I came across this beautiful paper I was instantly drawn to the playfulness of its properties. Even now the possibilities still seem endless. To dye and manipulate the paper I use different media and techniques in processes that render each piece truly unique. The sculptures all take shape organically; from initial idea to finished artwork nothing is forced into being. I let the paper lead the way.”
Lately Sara has felt a pressing need to make large sculptures, which makes perfect sense. As the physical manifestations of her unleashed creativity, the pieces that emerge demand scale. No longer getting lost in the details, Sara is finding and claiming her space.

Carl Rowe

Carl Rowe studied Fine Art at Manchester Polytechnic, graduating with an MA in 1985. He currently lives in Norwich and is a former Associate Professor and Course Leader in Fine Art at Norwich University of the Arts. He is an artist member and studio holder at OUTPOST in Norwich and is also a member of the Printmakers Council. Carl Rowe has an international profile as both an artist and an academic. His work has been exhibited widely in the UK as well as in Germany, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Canada, US, Estonia, Japan, Malaysia and Egypt. In addition to studio production he has also worked on public art including billboards, print portfolios and hospital art. In 2018 Rowe was commissioned by Hospital Rooms to make work for Woodlands Mental Health Unit at Ipswich Hospital and is currently engaged in a new project with Hospital Rooms.

“My art switches back and forth between an engagement with socio-political issues and subconscious renderings.

I can’t escape my concern for the wrongdoing in the world and within my art a surface layer of humour, absurdity and the arcane masks a strong undercurrent of concern for humanity. When I ease off the direct engagement with current affairs, symbols, objects and graphic devices float up from somewhere in my memory and arrange themselves in unlikely compositions.”

Carl Rowe works with both paint, sculpture and print process. The materials that I use are often intrinsically connected with the images they portray such as the work Drool, an installation made with ink containing herbs and spices from the G20 countries and the Serbian paprika used in Deprecated Location, a screen print depicting Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Recent paintings, drawings, sculptures and prints present an obsession with clay pipe fragments, hazard warnings, cylindrical containers and clouds of particulates.

Patricia Mitchell

Patricia Mitchell draws inspiration from experiences gained through her extensive travels and conservation work in Africa, Patricia’s love of nature, botany and global culture and tradition clearly resonates through her work as a mixed media artist.

PAPER: From the magic of a murmuration of starlings; the plight of global deforestation; a myriad of majestic African animals; origami diamonds; sculptured paper fish; origami Japanese slippers to even a colourful selection of bees, dragonflies and beetles – every piece Patricia sculpts from paper comes with a thought provoking narrative.

MESH: The other genre of her portfolio are her signature abstract elephant sculptures made with aluminium mesh,

coated with a mix of 24ct gold and Fools Gold. Her golden elephants can either be seen in family herds or alone, marching along on pieces of ancient drift wood, sourced from the Jurassic coasts of New Zealand. “No other wood will do – drift wood has withstood the test of time, yet it still holds its beauty, strength and power, much like our beloved elephants.”

Behind the awe inspiring intricacy of Patricia Mitchell’s paper and mesh sculptures, there always lies an empowering story which can be either be absorbed, be viewed in passing or can be used as an interesting topic to research and to discuss.

Jad Oakes

London-based Jad Oakes explores the possibilities of photography and the moving image for sculptural installations, prints and photogravures.

His works are presented as collections or bodies of work that are connected by their process, theme and technique. The main thread that ties these bodies of works together is a fascination with memory and time.

Since 2014 he has developed and nurtured an ongoing series of small scale silent looping film installations housed in wooden sculptures titled Vessels.

Condensed Vessel Videos:

Dreams of Somewhere Else
Moonscape 50
Memory Vessel

Using timbers of Oak, Walnut and Bog Oak these moving image sculptures seek to connect with the viewer by projecting them into an alternative space and time.

Of the Vessels series he notes a desire to “create intimate emotive sculptures, enticing contemplation and memory.”

Jad Oakes was awarded the Aesthetica Prize at the 2019 ING Discerning Eye Exhibition.

Rebecca Gouldson

Rebecca Gouldson creates elegant, bespoke metal and enamel wall pieces for private, corporate and public spaces.

The beautifully etched, rich metallic surfaces are created using techniques more traditionally used by printmakers. These expressive, reflective surfaces engage the viewer as they transform with the changing light of the day.

Rebecca draws inspiration from diverse subject matter, including architecture, the rural landscape, and maps. Working closely with her clients, each response to a commission brief involves taking photographs, and making drawings, prints and collages on paper. This imagery is combined, manipulated and then etched in to metal. Layers of processes, including electroplating and chemical patination, are used in innovative sequences, which push the boundaries of metalworking, to create unique objects.

Having established her studio in 2003, Rebecca Gouldson quickly rose to acclaim at first nationally, receiving awards from the Crafts Council and Crafts Magazine, and then internationally, exhibiting in the USA at prestigious shows such as SOFA Chicago and Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show. Back in the UK, her work was sold at London and Edinburgh Art Fairs.

Since then, she has been working on projects as diverse as superyachts, board rooms, and luxury jewellery and fashion brands in the US, Japan and the Middle East. In 2014, Rebecca extended her artistic practice to include vitreous enamel, which has extended the potential of her commission work in to architectural facades and outdoor sculptures.

Tom Waugh

Tom Waugh MRSS is a British sculptor based in Somerset. He has been an associate member of the Royal Society of Sculptors since 2018. In 2005 he gained a First in Architectural Stone Carving at the City and Guilds of London Art School and has spent time in India studying traditional carving techniques with the temple carver Raja Saceran.

‘I find it fascinating that sculpture has the ability to cause a shift in people’s perception. In my work I hope to challenge ideas of material value and make people look again at the things we take for granted.’

Tom Waugh carves stone and marble in minute detail to mirror the discarded waste of human consumption. These objects document the tiny imprints of human use. Plastic bags, cardboard boxes and tin cans are squashed, crushed and wrinkled whilst still displaying the traces of mass production.

His carving can be seen on St Pancras Station, St Martin in the fields and St Georges Chapel, Windsor. His Sculptures are exhibited widely and can be seen in the collections of Warwick University and Gladstone’s Library.

Lizzie Farey

Lizzie Farey’s intricate structures capture a still moment, a distillation and order. Calm after a storm.

Intimate forms provide a hint of the process of creation. We can see and even feel points of tension in the work. Our eye can follow the artist’s hand, the choices made in twisting and turning this flexible medium.

Born in Singapore, for the last 30 years Farey has been based in rural Galloway, in Scotland’s South West. The rural setting of home and studio are her guiding inspiration, her sensitivity with wood revealing an interaction with nature that is deeply personal.

Lizzie Farey grows much of her own pallet of artist’s materials. Planting, tending and harvesting a range of willow which is grown for both texture and colour.

Willow, it’s flow of flex and tension is often manipulated into rhythmic patterns, Artist, willow, form, each unique, reach a perfection as the work comes together, inner creative process and final form working as one.

‘My work engages with nature. I focus on recreating the essence of natural form through the medium of willow, larch, ash, hazel and other locally grown woods. Influences from Japan continue to inspire my attempts to capture the simplicity, practicality and beauty of the materials.’

Pierre Diamantopoulo

Pierre Diamantopoulo has two distinct strands to his figurative style. They seem to be intellectually and emotionally worlds apart, but they share the same impetus.

One is a cool and measured response to a profound sense of unrest. In this work, figures fly in defiance or are challenged by their environments. They ‘trippingly’ negotiate upheaval or uncertainties — each work is a balancing act, a metaphor for a precarious state of living or existence. Androgynous and anonymous human figures tilt and fall away – on and off objects that also teeter on a chaotic or shifting stage. Figures may be set free against strongly convergent lines, shapes and forms.

The other strand of Pierre Diamantopoulo’s practice is ambiguous, allegorical and atavistic, but still concerned with mercurial forces. Here, he works on impulse— mixing dark foolery, the poetic and the literary with theatre and folklore— blended with a sort of logical nonsense. This may be a voyage into the past, personal or absurd, diverted by the raw and primitive, with the wit, the mimic and maverick on board. These works are often executed with an immediate, freer hand, exploiting the texture of the raw material.

Dorothy Brook

Dorothy Brook became a sculptor in a roundabout way. She had studied Graphic Design at St Martins School of Art and worked as a freelance designer for about 10 years. When circumstances changed, a friend suggested she join a sculpture class. She loved it having no idea that she would be able to work in three dimensions having been used to seeing everything from a graphic and linear perspective.

To her surprise her graphic background gave her work a very different look. The lines and curves have to flow when viewed from every angle. The form is pared down until all that is left is its essence. Ultimately the aesthetic of the piece is the most important element.

Although Dorothy may start a sculpture with an armature and an idea of what she is going to make, it very often changes during the process. It is the sculpture that dictates where it is going and she follows, refining the lines as it progresses. Usually working in plaster as she finds it is easier to achieve the sharp edges and smooth surfaces that define her style. ‘I love to capture the split second that epitomizes the dynamic of a movement, just as a photograph would – the frozen moment.’

Dorothy Brook still loves the process as much as she did in that first sculpture class. The realisation that her drawings can and have come to life is very satisfying, not bad for a Graphic Designer!

Philip Melling works predominantly in metals creating an eclectic range of sculpture for exhibition, private clients and public installation.

He draws inspiration mostly from the materials he uses. Through concepts of movement and through experimentation he develops the shape of his sculptures.

His collection ‘Elements’ focuses on Earth, Air, Water and Fire and describing the reaction when those elements meet.

In developing the collection Philip Melling concentrated on using a repetitive form – curved metal bars, to generate concepts and capture the movement of elemental reactions.

Philip’s sculptures are designed to work as sculptures for the home, office and garden, as well as larger scale installations for private or public spaces.

Ian Turnock

Ian Turnock produces sculpture inspired by patterns and symmetry in nature. One of his main sources of inspiration are the silhouettes formed against the sky by tree foliage at different times of the year.

The spaces between the branches and leaves are just as important. A concept known in Japanese gardens as ‘Ma’, and is akin to the silences between the notes in music. Sometimes it is the gaps I am looking for just as much as the leaves themselves.

Ian Turnock has a background in graphic design which influences his exploration of form and line. Drawings and photographs are the starting point from which he develops organic, abstract and figurative sculpture.

Ian creates intricate and detailed drawings from which the final artwork is digitally cut. The designs can be cut in stainless steel, corten, aluminium, copper, reclaimed steel and plywood. This transforms the drawn line into a tangible object.

She also travels frequently to Southern Italy and is inspired by the simplicity of the ancient architecture and colours of the Mediterranean.

Ideas evolve for Susan Andreae from things she sees and experiences and always from drawings made in situ, which start the creative process. She then experiments with techniques of layering using multiple images superimposed to arrive at a final image, eluding to the passing of time and historical change.

Zac Greening

Zac Greening draws his inspiration principally from nature – ‘the ultimate sculptress’. He finds the sculptural forms created by the sun, moon, waves and trees particularly inspiring as symbols of sustainability.

He works in a wide range of media from discarded plastic bottles to organic matter. Often these materials are fused together to reinforce the aesthetic or narrative that he’s looking to express.

A narrative is created that highlights the relationship between man and the natural environment.

Common themes found in his work often abstractly express or make a comment on current issues. Issues such as sustainability, environmental degradation, or consumption. Alternatively they may simply be an expression of the marvel and awe he sees in a sunset or the kinetic and meditative experience found in the rolling of sea waves.

Zac Greening communicates and reminds the viewer of mankind’s inextricable socio-economic and spiritual link with the natural world

Chris Wood

Chris Wood’s medium is light. She uses a range of high and low-tech optical materials to harness patterns of light that suggest ephemeral glimpsed moments in the natural world.

Her sculptures are simple arrangements creating kinetic patterns in response to the environments in which they are placed. Her work brings a wistful romanticism to a minimalist aesthetic. Chris Wood orders the accidental and makes us reflect on the experience of seeing.

After studying Furniture Design at Middlesex University in the mid 1980s. She then went on to study glass at the Royal College of Art, where she worked on architectural scale projects dealing with light and space.

Chris Wood produces innovative installations for gallery exhibition. She has shown extensively throughout the UK and internationally. Her work is represented in a number of private collections as well as the Shanghai Museum of Glass.

In 2017 Mark was shortlisted for the Open Contemporary Young Artist Award run by the Biscuit Factory Gallery in Newcastle and long-listed for The Secret Art Prize by Curious Duke Gallery and also for the international Rise Art Prize.

Working with various metals in all their contrasting properties of texture and finish, Mark can make industrial materials appear fluid, malleable and delicate. He continues to study different metals, looking at ways to manipulate and add movement to the material.

Over the past 3 years Mark has been developing ways in which neon and LED’s can complement his sculptures, adding to the movement of a piece and catching the viewer’s eye.

Mark has a strong academic background in art, having studied a BA Hons (International) in Contemporary Art Practice at Leeds University, with a period at the Australian National University at Canberra, and after an MA in European Arts Practice at Kingston University, Surrey.

‘My work engages with nature. I focus on recreating the essence of natural form through the medium of willow, larch, ash, hazel and other locally grown woods. Influences from Japan continue to inspire my attempts to capture the simplicity, practicality and beauty of the materials.’
