JEWELLERY
S&ERS PRINTED ALUMINIUM JEWELLERY
Returning For 2026
She is a print making jewellery designer based in Yorkshire.
Using her own artwork and photography she follows the sublimation printing method. Painting or producing digital images with heat transfer inks and pigments she then uses a heat press to print directly onto aluminium. She then cuts, forms and polishes each piece. The nature of this printing process means each necklace, ring or pair of earrings is totally unique.

ART
SARAH JANE NICHOLLS ART
Returning For 2026
Since moving to Yorkshire from London in 2008 Sarah has been inspired by the breath-taking Yorkshire countryside and in particular how the colours and textures of the trees change across the year. Sarah’s passion is painting trees and landscapes, a lot of which are painted onto sheets of glass. When painting on glass Sarah paints everything in reverse, painting things in the foreground first then layering the paint from behind. This means she is almost painting blindly and has to keep turning the glass over to review the progress and how to continue with the painting.

with resin and enamel, some further embellished with silver wire, some influenced by
filigree techniques.

CERAMICS
SARA HOOD FINE ART
Returning For 2026
Neurodivergent artist Sara Hood creates work to promote acceptance and knowledge of neurodiversity.
The use of many different clay bodies symbolises the diversity of our society. The rabbit and sometimes other prey animals appear as a central agent referencing the fight or flight response which is prevalent in many neurodiverse conditions.
Neurodiversity adds a richness to the weave of our species and its cultures, it should be held dear and celebrated in all its forms.
