ALSO EXHIBITING WILL BE:

Chris Godfrey - "I am a self taught ceramic artist based in Exeter, mostly working in Stoneware that is thrown, slab built, extruded, moulded and shaped using a wide variety and combinations of techniques. In terms of glazing I tend to go for the brighter end of the spectrum, so quite often that means using lower temperature glazes over high-fired stoneware. My work is intended as striking decorative pieces for the home. Everything from fridge magnets and house numbers to vases and large centrepiece bowls." Follow me on Instagram: @godfrey5665

Michael Joy - "I began with some rudimentary stick shaped forms in life classes in the eighties, a hundred classes later and then on to abstract sculptures at St Martins college from 92 to 97. Landscape painting in devon over the last decade and soon on to bronze sculptures in the 25s. These paintings are about trying different ways to capture something that holds both the image and the moment, building colour, embracing the moving light.
Recent work has been shown at Gandy Street gallery, Exeter Art gallery, Horton Fine Art London, Silo 6776 Pennsylvania USA, and in my studio shows in Exeter.
Please visit my website michaeljoyartist.co.uk where work can be seen in the different galleries created. ". - Instagram is @michaeljoyartist

Ian Graham - Ian manages a mixed woodland near Okehampton, coppicing, planking, making charcoal and rustic woodland furniture.  He runs a stool workshop here at cowslip and has a stall at the summer and Christmas markets.  After wood has seasoned for a number of years following coppicing or being planked, he makes large indoor and outdoor tables, benches and traditional country stools, often with an inlaid pebble signature or gouge carving.   Each piece is handcrafted and truly unique.  Follow us on Instagram  @thewooodlandstore
