Printmaker living and working in Aylesford with a degree in Art History. A lino cutting course in 2015 and the acquisition of an original 1860 Albion printing press proved to be turning points from which her printmaking practice has developed and flourished.

Ewa Page
Ewa Page is a Polish/British artist based in Kent, whose work is inspired and influenced by aspects of nature and her imagination.
Ewa loves working outside in her garden because of the direct connection it provides with nature, which is clearly evident in her final artwork. Ewa’s work is very personal, with her love of painting transferred onto each individual canvas and the colour palette reflecting her feelings and moods at the time of painting each piece.

Tony Caroli
Tony has been working with kiln formed glass since 2008 & loves to experiment mixing glass with other materials. Currently making 2 and 3D works glass jewelry making & experimenting with different sculptural ideas nothing more enjoyable than working in the studio creations are put into the kiln and if the kiln gods are favorable, I am amazed by the lovely glass that is there when the kiln is opened, which is certainly an exciting moment. But mistakes happen and sometimes they are happy ones but can never be recreated.

Paul Johnson
After spending his working life within the building industry and trying several hobbies along the way Paul took up woodturning. He uses mainly British timber with a few African hardwoods, the size and colour being the guide, the wood sometimes determines what is made as it has a life of its own and can throw up the unexpected. All are sustainably sourced.
