​Divya Atkins
(Both days)

​The sweet and sour cooking apples growing in my garden in Widcombe, reminded me of mangoes in India. My mum and I were inspired to experiment with traditional Indian recipes, using these apples. We make salty pickles, sweet chutneys and jams as a family activity. In the autumn, we also preserve the windfallen apples, so nothing goes to waste.

Bridget Baker

My early training was as a zoologist but I only started making wire animals after retirement.  They are made from garden and household wire and then painted with enamel paints.  I make all vertebrate animals - fish, amphibia, reptiles, birds and mammals, based on photos.  The enjoyment of their creation comes from making them as realistic as possible and from capturing their features with the minimum of lines.   I am happy to make people's pets if they email me their snaps.

 Shuya Cheng   - Unfortunately Shuya is unable to exhibit with us at the last minute. Do look at her work online.

Original intricate freehand machine embroidery artwork framed in a gallery-quality shadow box creating a suspended 3D effect. The shadows change when the light changes. All pieces can sit in direct sunlight perfectly safely due to the colour-fast embroidery thread. High quality giclée prints of my original abstract paintings and graphic design greeting cards are also available for purchase.

Tim Perry, Perryspace Arts


I love making things from clay, the process of taking a wet lump of mud and turning it into a useful, beautiful pot. I fire my ceramics in a gas kiln that I built myself. The flame moves differently in each firing, so results are always a surprise and rarely repeatable. I am largely self-taught and still learning all the time, loving the process even when it goes wrong.

Lucy Saunders

 I create a selection of nature based watercolour originals, pen and ink prints, notebooks, textiles, ceramics, and cards that all maintain a minimal natural study style. All of my inspiration is taken from around me in the countryside. Countryside animals, foliage and botanicals are often the theme for my work. I also take commissions of beloved pets.

Barry Stanson

I am a part-time potter living and working in Bath. My first recollection of pottery was when I watched the Interlude on the BBC in the late fifties when a potter threw a pot.  Even at that early age it fascinated me that a lump of clay could be transformed.  Years later I went to college part-time to try pottery for myself and I became hooked.  My semi-retirement has enabled me to have more time to spend in my studio. My pots consist of slip-decorated earthenware and raku.  My work is continually changing as I seek to find that elusive form and surface that pleases me. I am my biggest critic. I suppose this is the process that keeps challenging me.  I am inspired by many things around me, lines, texture, form and colour, it could be on fabric or even a crumpled piece of polythene the list is endless.  In view of the variation in my work it is difficult to say what people prefer as everybody’s taste varies. I have made small and large Christmas trees specifically for the Christmas Market. I hope people will like my Christmas trees and they will bring festive cheer.

Vikki Yeates

 I am an illustrator living and working in Bath, although I spent many years in Brighton, where I did a Degree in Illustration in the early 90s.
My artwork can be divided into 2 categories:  British Wildlife, particularly the hare; and dark, eerie illustrations
Most of my commercial work these days tends to be wildlife, but I still like to make them appear dark and atmospheric.  The hare is a constant source of inspiration for me, having so many meanings and stories from all over the world.
