ARTIST
" I’m Lauren, from Bylaurenward. I’m an artist and secondary school art teacher. I predominantly paint using encaustic, oils and pigments and I’m very much driven by the process of my practise which is ever evolving.
I love to play with colour relationships, exploring harmonies and contrasts within my work.
I’ve recently begun to be inspired by places, my favourite being the sea. I aspire to create paintings that evoke a sense or feeling of a place through layers of translucent wax."
We have a range of Lauren's prints, jewellery & coasters available at our sister shop, Botany Boutique in Hornsea.

Tipperleyhill: Abi Tippetts & Roz Berkeley-Hill
ARTISTS
Tipperleyhill are two artists; Abi and Roz who work together on each and every piece to create paintings on canvas.
Abi studied at Chelsea College of Art and Roz at De Montfort University. The pair met whilst working together at a textile design studio in New York and grew to discover a mutual love of colour, pattern, illustration and the arts.
On returning to England to have their families, they worked out a plan that would enable them to explore their creativity and see more of each other. Tipperleyhill was born. Abi is based in Leicester and Roz in London.
Their passion is to paint contemporary landscapes, abstracts and florals. By working on two canvases at the same time, they swap from one to the other, or sometimes paint on the same piece. This illustrates their mutual trust in each other and how their collective energy comes together to create something entirely new. They work in mixed media.
We have a range of Tipperleyhill's prints & cards available at our sister shop, Botany Boutique in Hornsea.

Fwootpot Ceramics: Julie Morris
CERAMICIST
Julie is originally from Devon, but took the road less travelled and moved to Hull in 2004 to study ceramics at the Park Street School of Art and Design. She worked her way up to a degree and eventually graduated in 2011!!
She works out of a small studio based in Hull; 3 random rooms where she can create, swear, sing and occasionally, dance, to her heart's content...
Her pieces are a real mix of the everyday and the not so much.....her love of using doll faces to mould and shape into bowls began at college and has continued with the addition of smaller, stranger pieces and more recently the use of a French doll mould to create her 'Big Ugly Heads'...she admits that they are real 'Marmite' ceramics, definitely not to everyone’s taste (she welcomes all comments!)
Heather Burton
Artist in the Wolds: Carolyn Taylor
Fwootpot Ceramics: Julie Morris
ARTIST
Heather is an award-winning artist based near Howden, whose work is sold through galleries across the north of England and Scotland.
Heather specialises in palette knife work, applying many layers of acrylics to capture the country’s ever-changing moods and atmosphere. Much of her work is inspired by the dramatic coastlines and countryside of the north, but also includes figurative pieces, many of them large scale, inspired by music and dance.
‘There’s something very spontaneous and exhilarating about working with a knife and I’m always discovering new techniques and finishes. I mainly use acrylics because I enjoy layering and manipulating them to create depth, vibrancy and texture to the work.’
Heather’s paintings and limited edition prints also sell privately both in the UK and abroad. She runs workshops and accepts commissions.
When she is not painting – which isn’t often – Heather works as a freelance journalist for national and regional magazines. Heather is a committee member of East Riding Artists.
We have a range of Heather's prints available at our sister shop, Botany Boutique in Hornsea.

ARTIST
Kate is a mixed media artist.
“I am a self-taught mixed media artist who loves to paint and stitch. I am loving painting in oil and cold wax at the moment, as the textures that be created are wonderful. I also love acrylics and have had my work accepted in the Ferns Open, Beverley Open, The Ropewalk’s ‘From the Humber to the Wash’ (on a number of occasions), as well as the Harley Gallery.
Textiles are another joy in my life, both hand and machine stitching. Lately I am loving book making as well: junk journals, sketchbooks and ‘proper’ book!"

"I have always been involved with arts and crafts but since 2014 I ventured into taking my art to another level as a self taught artist. I live in Newbald, which to me this is the beginning of the Yorkshire Wolds. This has given me the opportunity to paint our beautiful county’s coast and country and venture further afield in a spontaneous way led by my feelings and interpretation of the views before me in a semi abstract way.
I was 2020 runner up in The Mail competition “Glorious Britain in Spring”. My theme was to show Light during Lockdown and was supported too by The Mall Gallery, London. This accolade gave me the confidence to explore my art further and have my own successful Open Studio at home in 2021. I was accepted by The Ferens Art Gallery for their summer Open Exhibition 2023."

"Hi everyone!
My name is Judy and I’m really excited to be part of this fabulous new art space along with so many brilliant artists.
As a painter, I am inspired by my time spent in nature. I love to document landscapes using observation, reflection and imagination: interested in the way seasons and light impact on the vastness of the land, water and skies. Little lanes and country houses. Walks in picturesque places. Memories captured."

CERAMICIST
"I started my love affair with clay when I was at school. Where my art teacher ran an after school club. I got a Saturday job in a local pottery, which allowed me to have my work fired. The older I got the more I was hooked. Finding inspection in every thing and where I went. I attended night classes, until I saved enough money to buy a second hand kiln.
My love of pottery just grew and grew. Making a tiny pottery in the bottom of my garden in Sutton on Hull, that's where I can always be found."
We have a large range of Suzie's ceramics available at our sister shop, Botany Boutique in Hornsea.

Leafy Lane Pottery: Suzie HARRISON
JEWELLER
“Working from my studio in Saltaire, West Yorkshire, using traditional silversmithing techniques to work with precious metals and gemstones I attempt to create individual pieces which connect qualities of timeless elegance and fluidity.
My jewellery design is primarily influenced by the connectivity between elements in their raw state and their potential to be made into expressive items of jewellery, becoming symbolic of ourselves as we blend our tastes and preferences of our world around us.
Texture and scale are important aspects to much of my work and through the combination of flowing lines and patterning, I create collections, which for me, convey notions of subverting traditional forms for contemporary design. Working in this style allows me to produce personalised items of adornment that suit the requirements of the wearer.”

ANGELA MARIE NICHOLLS
ARTIST
“ Born in the south of England and living in the north, Rae has always felt her life calling is to be an artist.
In 2014 she began life modelling at various local classes and this passion for drawing and studying the figure led her to do a Postgraduate degree in Fine Art at Leeds Arts University in 2020.
Her work is informed by her love of history, including the Dutch Golden Age (17th and 18th Century), Greek mythology and English history. She is influenced by women artists throughout the ages. Her recent thesis titled ‘How has the role of the woman artist changed since 1900?’ brings to light the struggle women artists have faced in becoming recognised artists and the struggle that still goes on. But she also looks to male artists, citing Henri Matisse and his understanding of colour as a crucial influence.”

POTS & PETALS: Helen Harrison
ARTIST
Having studied at Edinburgh College of Art, Helen exhibited in Scotland and New York before returning to East Yorkshire and applying her skills to teaching. She now splits her time between teaching art and painting from her home studio.
“Experiencing the landscape is my starting point for creating but my paintings are essentially abstract. My work is a visual response to the multi-sensory experiences imprinted in my memory: sounds of nature, movement, the euphoria of a run and the energy of the coast. I love to play with colour shifts, saturated and desaturated colour and layers. Expressive marks and energetic lines celebrate the freedom and joy that I draw from the landscape.”
We have a range of Helen's prints, cards and small original paintings available at our sister shop, Botany Boutique in Hornsea.

CREATIVE
"Pots & Petals, where I make original art from pressed flowers, was born from a love of the garden and nature in general.
Whilst fresh flowers are beautiful, I love that I can preserve flowers, extending their life and ensuring that they can be enjoyed for a long time. Although there are various methods of pressing flowers, I prefer to use traditional pressing techniques. I don't use any chemicals or colour enhancing techniques, therefore maintaining the natural quality of the flowers.
Flowers can change colour in the press and may fade over time, however I feel this just adds to the charm. The majority of flowers I press are grown in my own garden, however I do source some from local growers to enable me to offer a wider variety.
I have worked in the NHS for many years and continue to do so, however Pots & Petals definitely satisfies my creative needs!”

“I love all aspects of Art. As a person I can be exuberant and quirky, or quiet and enjoy a bit of solitude and this is reflected in my art. I enjoy gardening and have a wacky garden full of interesting plants and art ‘pieces’ . The outdoors are seared into my soul- sketch books are kept and used for inspiration and reference.
I belong to Hornsea Art Society and love being part of an Experimental Textile group. I work with acrylic, oil and watercolour paints, mixed media, collage and textiles.”

ARTIST
"I was born and brought up in the north of Glasgow, leaving home at the age of 17 to study at the Royal College of Music, with joint first studies in Piano and Violin Performance.
Following my studies, I started my freelance professional life as a violinist with major British orchestras and spent many years touring the country. At the same time, I worked as a copyist and transcriber with Novello, using my down time during tours to work on scores.
My professional work slowed down when I had my son and daughter, but it was abruptly stopped when I was involved in a car accident in 1991. This resulted in the eventual loss of 3 fingers on my left hand, and for quite a few years I was unable to use this hand. After several surgeries, my hand has been transformed, and I was once again able to work on my passion of embroidery once again, albeit without those fingers.
My grandmother did some leatherwork in the 30s and 40s, usually making items for home use. I found her tools roughly two years ago, and thought I would try out leatherwork. It is now my reason for getting up every morning and enjoying every waking moment each day."

JEWELLERY DESIGNER
" I’m an independent jewellery designer working with gold, silver and precious stones using traditional techniques.
Whilst I enjoy working with newly sourced metal and stones, my true passion is reworking something that has meaning, perhaps a piece left by a loved one, taking it and breathing life back into it.
It's truly an honour & privilege to be asked to create or rework an item of jewellery for a customer, as if I step outside of my life and straight into theirs.
I saw, file, polish & solder using traditional silversmithing tools & techniques to achieve beautiful results. No mass production so you really are buying something very special.
Every piece I create is special without a single doubt. Some pieces tug my heart strings more than others. I always cry at sad (and happy) movies and often shed a little tear over a piece of my work.
I hope you get the same immense pleasure from my pieces that I get from creating them!"

METALWORK DESIGNER
"Hi I’m Ollie.
I live in Hornsea and I own a steel fabrication business, based in Beeford, United Steel Fabrications.
I always loved my art lessons in school, and went on to do an A-level in art. Despite my interest in art, I went on to work in welding and fabrication at my dad’s business in 2010. Fast forward to opening my own business alongside my brother in 2020, I found myself with a little extra time on my hands as we went into the first covid lockdown. It was during this time I started getting a little creative with my steelwork, creating custom metal wall art, sculptures and various other types of ornaments and decorations."

PRINTMAKER
"I’m Clare (aka Curiousinkyme) I have been printmaking in the East Midlands for over 20 years and have a background in Fine art. I am passionate about creating beautiful original artwork that can empower and inspire.
Elements from many printmaking processes have come together to influence my linocut style. I create limited edition artworks combining the figure and nature. Rich oil-based colour works in harmony with thin Japanese paper, the prints are fragile yet strong; and surprisingly tactile. I love to leave evidence of the process of the artwork's creation, marks of carved lino create life and energy. I am deeply interested in being present and living with curiosity, I make art that celebrates our humanity while reminding us to reconnect with nature, and go with the flow.
I believe that filling our homes with beautiful artwork can remind us to slow down and embrace the present moments of ornaments and decorations."

"I am a Yorkshire-based artist and I have loved both creating art and the wild outdoors as far back as I can remember. My work reflects my fascination with our beautiful planet and an urgent need to protect its future. My art reimagines flora and fauna through needle-felt, drawing, printing, paint and clay.
I am an advocate of Slow Fashion and I upcycle and recycle second-hand clothing to create truly unique pieces which act as a reminder to protect our vulnerable planet and its people. I also work with schools in the North East of England, bringing workshops to primary pupils, enabling art practises to be more accessible to the wider communities."

WOOD TURNER
"Hi I’m Pip, I’m 34 and a local wood turner, wood worker located just outside Hornsea.
I started wood working about 4/5 years ago, I’d seen this chair I wanted to have a go at making and it all really went from there. Since then I’ve worked on my traditional joinery knowledge and skill and build my furniture the traditional way, no screws allowed. From there I got a lathe and that’s really where my love started. To pick up a really rather unassuming piece of wood and turn it into something useful, something beautiful makes me very happy.
Over the last 12 months I’ve really concentrated on developing my style and skill, I’ve also started putting myself out there with events and markets.
Hope to see you all soon."

CREATIVE
" Hello, I'm Grace, a Fashion Marketer, Creative, and the founder of Olive and Oyster.
My love for the coast and the ocean has been significantly influenced by my childhood spent in Hornsea, where my family has maintained a holiday home for over four generations, creating many cherished memories together.
I recently achieved a First BA Hons Degree in Fashion Marketing from the University of Leeds, with a specialisation in Luxury British Heritage Branding. My passion for Art and Photography, which I cultivated during my A-Levels and continued through my degree, played a pivotal role in shaping my creative journey.
Following my graduation, I dedicated my summer to creative endeavours, which led to the beginning of Olive and Oyster. At Olive and Oyster, I craft sustainable, handcrafted treasures and gifts using seashells, employing the techniques of decoupage and embellishing them with gold leaf. Incorporating infamous artists' work such as William Morris or William Turner reflects my own interests of artists, which I love to celebrate within my shell designs.
I have always had a deep love for the ocean and as an avid sailor and surfer, at 17 I sailed 150 nautical miles around the UK, achieving my Day Skipper Yacht Licence. I've continued to feed my passion for the sea, and these days, you can often find me spending weekends in the Lake District, where I sail and surf at Lake Windermere.
Working with such stunning natural ocean materials brings me such joy and peace. I firmly believe that nature deserves to be celebrated and treasured and hope that people enjoy my pieces as much as I enjoy creating them."

WHO MADE YOUR CLOTHES?
Catherine Rawson is the founder and creative designer of THe oLD RaiLwAy , a studio and retail space which was established in 2011 in Sri Lanka, where Catherine lived for 14 years. She returned to live in the UK in 2021 with her two children following the Pandemic. Now based in Bridlington, Catherine established a sister shop here, THe oLD RaiLwAy UK, in October 2022.
DID YOU KNOW?
THe oLD RaiLwAy is one of Sri Lanka’s ‘go-to’ brands for contemporary style, where Catherine and her team have created effortlessly stylish collections and bespoke made to measure garments, focusing on quality locally sourced fabric and ethically-sound production. Sustainability in the brand’s daily practice has evolved naturally from day one, when Catherine discovered her main source of fabric: high quality offcuts from garment factories which would otherwise be destined for landfill.
The clothes are all produced in house by a fabulous team of 3 Sri Lankan women. So when you buy a piece from their collection, unlike buying from a multinational chain, you know who has made your clothes. You are helping Catherine keep these wonderful ladies in work. You are choosing to buy better which means in the long run buying less. You are investing in timeless individual styles and pieces which make you feel good to wear. You are helping to reduce fabric waste. You are supporting our extended community of local craftspeople by adding a leather bag or some jewellery to your purchase. When you shop small the sales translate directly to production costs, raw materials and wages. There is no marketing budget, no HR department expenses or executive lunch meetings to fund. Your purchase makes the difference for children getting their school books, the possibility of attending a sports club, providing medicine for older parents or simply paying household bills and living costs at the most basic level. Your purchase makes their hard work worth it.

ARTIST
Angela studied surface pattern design at Manchester where colour, texture and experimentation with different mediums were encouraged.
Her work continues to be an eclectic mix of colour and texture. She initially likes to create an interesting surface on which to work using a variety of media and some collage. Angela works intuitively allowing the work to evolve naturally.
In recent years she attended a residential course in freestyle machine embroidery. This has since led her to translate some of her paintings into embroideries which gives the work another dimension. They are smaller condensed images thus creating a harmonious composition of colour and thread

"I discovered clay and ceramics when I met my now wife Suzie Harrison of Leafy Lane Pottery. Pottery was always something I wanted to try. I studied Art at GCSE but didn't get the chance to work with clay. Work and family became a priority over my creative abilities until meeting Suzie and we fell in love potting together. We can now be found creating and making most days, wherever we are clay comes with us....
I am very lucky that I found love and this passion, everyday I can create something from this amazing 'mud' original and unique as we all are.
I find inspiration all around me for my little houses, inspiring me to create and carve the tools I need for each window, door, roof, steps and bricks. I love experimenting with a wide variety of different clays, all of which have unique textures and reactions to the glazes - making one very tactile and individual"

"I came into stained glass through night school while living in the Forest of Dean. I learnt how to make Tiffany style copper foil and leaded light panels, but soon I wanted expand my knowledge and learn to paint on the glass too, so took myself to Hereford School of Arts and was taught by the talented Franz Wesselman.
I then was lucky enough to land a full time job with Jim Budd Stained Glass on the Herefordshire / Welsh border specialising in the conservation, restoration of stained glass. This was an invaluable experience and I learnt a lot of traditional techniques.
During this time I also was asked to show at a local gallery in Ross on Wye, took part in the Forest of Dean Open Studios and Newnham on Seven art showcase. I then left the Forest back to Harrogate, North Yorkshire, where I worked in offices for a good 15 years. During this time I bought a kiln and then was encouraged by an artist friend to apply for North Yorkshire Open Studios, which then led on to more applications for local Art Fairs. This all seemed to point in the same direction, so finally in early 2019, I took the leap and set up by myself.
I now work from a small workshop in Starbeck, Harrogate. I am lucky enough to be able to split my time between making small beautiful art pieces to sell, private commissions, general repairs and restoration. My glass work has a contemporary / medieval/ retro feel (is that possible?), and is inspired by the natural environment, and flora and fauna. Celestial bodies are a big theme as well as Green Men.
My copper foiled fish are now a staple of my work. They are a result of all the small scraps of glass left over from larger projects. Each one is a one off original created to fit the shape of the piece of “scrap” glass."

"Hi, I’m Bea and two of my favourite things are cats and shiny, shiny things, hence my business name. From my small studio in Hull I craft jewellery from recycled sterling silver and mixed metals. I returned to silversmithing five(ish) years ago, after a long break. I have been collecting (*hoarding) vintage glass, semi-precious stones and seaglass ever since.
Making for me is an intuitive process, influenced by the colour, shape and texture of the items that I set in silver. Jewellery as adornment expresses who we are and where we belong, in small ways and in loud ways. My jewellery inhabits both of these spaces, some items whisper who they are, and others shout out loud. In these spaces, and anywhere in between, my intention is to make something that brings a little bit of joy to the wearer or the admirer."

" In a mad moment I bought a kiln. A huge kiln. Cheap!! Then I thought I'd better learn how to use it and the clay that goes with it. And here I am 5 years later, still learning how to turn pieces of mud into something that doesn't resemble mud any more. Like the fairytale; kissing the frog to turn it into the handsome prince.... Kissedfrog Pottery!
Having spent years working in design and with plants, I find my work tends to feature lots of natural forms, flowers and seed-pods, both imaginary and real. I am inspired by shape and form, mainly from nature with evocative colour combinations playing an influential part in my designs. I love both jarring contrasts and subtle nuance. Also monochrome, but often with a pop of contrast.
My motivation on this huge learning curve is to try to make each piece better than the last and to embrace where this takes me.."

Beeswax has lots of wonderful natural properties, such as de stressing and purifying the air particles around us due to its negative ions. y using Beeswax, you get the added sweet smell of honey alongside the fragrances we use. All handmade and decorated with dried flora, crystals, locally picked sea shells and gold leaf. Each designed to enhance the beauty of the unique vintage vessel.
Our moto is to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle and our Packaging is all re usable and recyclable. And by repurposing the vessels, lowering our carbon footprint.
Flames of Beverley was recently awarded a 'Best of Beverley' Award "for supporting local good causes and charity shops, by purchasing items from them to repurpose as vessels for homemade candles. Not only does this support local charity shops, but also shows how a local business can be founded on recycle and being environmentally friendly."

Having studied art and professional practice at Hull School of Art and Design, Julie went on to gain a History of Art degree from the University of York in 2020.
She completed a commission for Hull UK City of Culture 2017 to produce 8 portraits of individuals with strong local ties, and who had achieved distinction in the fields of art and culture. Julie’s work has been shown in exhibitions at Hull art galleries, Ferens and Space; Hornsea galleries, The Seagull Gallery and The Gallery; Beverley Art Gallery; Smailes Goldie Accountants, Hull; and The Ropewalk, Barton-upon-Humber.
“Following the City of Culture commission, my first love became portraiture. I concentrated on this genre for the next few years and completed several individual commissions. More recently though I have found myself attracted to still-life subjects, often attempting to elevate the commonplace.
Having recently relocated to Hornsea, there’s no doubt that the glorious seascapes and landscapes that surround me will be a constant source of excitement and inspiration for future works.”

Emma, the creative force behind Daisy Age Art, began her journey with a degree in set, prop, and costume design, later expanding into pottery, prosthetics, and printmaking. With over a decade supporting others in exploring their creativity therapeutically, she has recently reconnected with her own art, blending storytelling and a love for the "Daisy Age" ethos.
Her work is crafted from mixed media, combining original prints, fabric, printed papers, vintage imagery, and reclaimed wood—to evoke joy, nostalgia, and a sense of connection. Each piece is richly textured and invites viewers to connect with its unique story. Playful yet meaningful, her unique, one-of-a-kind creations blend her experience of theatrical storytelling and therapeutic discovery, to capture the emotions of memories.

“My art is designed to inspire happiness. I create uplifting pieces that use bold, bright colours to bring joy and positivity to others. I approach my artwork without a predetermined plan, allowing the creative process to guide me. Beginning with doodled patterns and shapes, I let each composition evolve organically, reflecting the natural growth of the subjects I depict. Using a mixed media process, I layer vibrant colours, bold patterns, and diverse materials to create depth and texture.
Creating art brings me immense joy, and I am passionate about inspiring creativity in others. Alongside my paintings, I design illustrations for children, lead mindful doodling workshops, and create bespoke window and mural installations, offering unique and engaging artistic experiences.”
