Vicky Baker

Victoria worked in the field of Theatre, Film and Dance costume for 14 years. Since then she has been working in Textiles, and through this developed an interest in using acrylic for such things as handles for her handbags and a range of hand-painted and engraved buttons. This then led her to create a range of jewellery, hand-painted and engraved pendants. Recently Victoria has been experimenting with a mixture of silver and acrylic, creating some simple, elegant designs in jewellery.

Sally Bettridge. Ceramics

From her West Berkshire workshop, Sally Bettridge produces a wide range of slip decorated earthenware. She employs traditional techniques in her work, applied to a contemporary design approach resulting in functional domestic ware that is light, lively and thoroughly modern.

Arlington Arts Exhibition

The Space Between.
I'm exhibiting some of my bags at Arlington Arts, the title of show above. The Space Between, could or can mean anything so I thought I'd have a go at some weaving with leather, which I will never do again because it took me aaaages. I took a couple of pictures during my endurance, but forgot to take a photo of the finished bag. So you'll have to go to Arlington Arts venue to see it, plus the rest of the exhibition, which is open from the 7th to the 29th June. Well worth a visit and set in some lovely surroundings. Photos above.#studio21

Sue Diffey

Sue Diffey
Medium: Oils, printmaking, drawing, mixed media.
My current interest lies in exploring spacial
sequences using humble and sometimes repetitive forms; the juxtaposition between stillness and energy, where emptiness is form and form is emptiness. In Quantum Physics even a stationary form or object contains energy which is
locked within its atoms. This contained, pure energy is not fixed or determined but in a continual state of flux between matter and anti-matter; perfectly counter-balanced and identical as a mirror image.
Sue Diffey was tutored by
the late Cecil Collins at Central St.Martins in the 1970’s and her life drawing
studies have also developed directly from honoring this energy and stillness.

If you live in Caversham and are thinking of visiting, it would be great, if it's not too far, to walk here. Refreshments will be available for the thirsty! If you're driving, there is parking on Gosbrook road by the park, either side of the road, 2 hr parking on Falkland rd, i think!Parking in Elliots way, that;s the next road down. Also there is the car park in Caversham, the lower part is best as it's independant of waitrose. Maybe a bit of shopping first! There is a car park on George street and a lovely 10min walk a long the River Thames and across the park. To look at the map , scroll down.
