Ingrid Karlsson Kemp Mixed Art Media
I live and work in my home studio in Upper Dovedale, a very beautiful part of the Peak District. My mixed media work is inspired by what I see here, the magic scenery and the ever changing colours, as in ”Home”, which received a commendation in the 2007 Derbyshire Open exhibition. I also like storytelling in the work, it’s my way of talking about where I have been, what I have experienced and what I remember. When I went to Orkney I came back with “Norse Riddles”, the triptych, and when I go back to my roots in Northern Sweden I return with fresh inspiration and more stories, see the “Northern Spring” series from this yearCatriona Hall
The creatures that inhabit Catriona Hall’s pictures are stylized, whiskerless, always left-facing, often rather portly and usually set in a Peak District landscape.She regularly exhibits imaginary animals but also accepts commissions to portray pets and houses or favourite buildings. Her subjects are immortalized with quirky simplicity and an earthy palette.
Sandra Ormre Artist
biographyArtist Statement
My studio is in the heart of the Peak District with views of the moors of the Dark Peak to a distant Kinder Scout. A keen walker, I am inspired by seasonal colours, ever-changing light, weather and the atmosphere of not only this landscape but also the striking coastlines of the United Kingdom. I am drawn to the enduring aspects of these dramatic sites. In my studio I use sketches and photographs and most importantly, my memories of being there, to recreate a sense of time and place. I work in layers of pastel- exploring variations of colour and texture. The hands-on nature of its application lets me make a direct connection with each work.

Rob Wilson Mixed Art Media
‘His distinctive work is described as ‘mixed media’ but this belies the complexity of his painting process which combines layers of paint, paper & print with stitching’ - Pure Buxton, MagazineAdele Kime Jeweller and Designer
Inspired by nature's colours and organic structures Adele captures these in the intricate and sculptural qualities of her work.Adele seeks to blur the distinction between jewellery and sculpture so at various scales her designed forms evolve into jewellery or interior objects.
Fiona Chapman Handmade Silver and Resin Jewellery
Welcome to my blog. I make jewellery from silver, with the addition of resin, enamel and various other media to add colour and interest. My work is mainly inspired by the natural world especially plants and flowers, microscopic life and geology. I live in a small town on the edge of the Peak District in the UK with my husband and four children.Sarah Myatt Glass Design
Since graduating from Wolverhampton University in 2000, I have continued to work with glass and set up my studio in Leek, Staffordshire Moorlands designing and creating a range of glass pieces including jewellery, hangings and greeting cards.My work employs kiln forming techniques to combine glass and metals such as copper, silver and gold to create individual, handmade pieces. I enjoy using other materials to add colour and detail along with finishing techniques such as etching to add pattern and depth. All of the glass work is cut, drilled, polished, etched and finished by hand.
Hannah Dodd
Hannah designs unique, quirky, functional handmade bags. Designed to be modern but not closely linked to fashion trends, she endeavours to create an enduring, desirable piece using different colour combinations and designs. She is inspired by nature, flora, form and vibrant colours and textures. She is interested not only in the surface pattern but exploring the three dimensional and structural potential of the fabric.Each bag is lovingly handmade and takes around two days to complete. Her latest range of designs uses a combination of different textiles including new and recycled fabrics, sewn together, layered, cut, re-sewn, edged with felted yarns. Unique special gifts, weddings, individual inquiries welcome.
Jayne Townsend
Jayne began to experiment with textile based artwork several years ago, drawn to fabrics with vibrant colours and strong patterns.Starting with hand embroidered batik work embellished with buttons, beads and other items, Jayne has progressed to experimenting with a wider variety of textile techniques, including wax entrapment, painted fabrics and heat- fused and distressed fabric and stitch.
Often Jayne incorporates personal vintage items and antique fabrics in her work - many have been passed down through generations of her family.
Ideas for her work are based on memory, personal experience, the Peak District landscape and travels around Turkey, Egypt and Thailand.
