JEWELLERY
JANE MARSHALL JEWELLERY
Returning For 2027
Jane uses lead free enamels with copper and silver to create earrings and pendants
in bold colours. Each piece is handmade and the nature of the kiln fired enamel ensures that no two
pieces are exactly alike. The ‘Colour’ collection features earrings, brooches and pendants in geometric
shapes and bright, single colours inspired by mid- century design whilst the ‘Coast’ collection is more organic, echoing the colours of sea and beaches.
Findings are handmade in recycled sterling silver.

CERAMICS
JO WILLIAMS CERAMICS
Returning For 2027
Jo makes functional, thrown, decorative, white earthenware for interiors. Her work is made to be handled as the exterior surface is refined by hand, using the clays own qualities to create a tactile form. While the interior is glazed in a soft, satin, milky glaze, the outer surface is decorated with oxides to make strong inky marks that bleed in the kiln to soften the edges. The marks are reminiscent of ink on damp paper. Most forms are bottles and urchins.

GLASS

Joy McMillan Glass brings a playful touch to contemporary lampwork. From jewellery that moves as you wear it to vibrant plant decorations and Christmas ornaments, each piece is designed to be tactile and joyful.

Her work invites you to see, touch, and enjoy.
