JEWELLERY
KATE RHODES JEWELLERY
Returning For 2026
Inspired by the countryside surrounding her home in Hebden Bridge, Kate uses colour and shape as a visual language with influences from mid-century art & patterns.
Kate uses beautiful rich colourful metals - recycled silver, vibrant titanium blues, with warm earthy tones from copper & brass. She makes all the pieces by hand, piercing the fine details with a saw, inlaying contrasting metals & carving delicate patterns with a pendant drill. Each piece is unique.

CERAMICS
KATIE ALMOND CERAMICS
Returning For 2026
Katie Almond produces unique and one-off porcelain pieces using a variety of slip casting and hand-building techniques. All incorporate her own drawings alongside found nostalgic imagery by using both hand painting and transfers, and many have the added opulence of gold lustre.
Each piece of her work is a canvas for decoration and collage as she carefully combines drawings with found, vintage ephemera. Katie is inspired by nostalgia, paper ephemera, vintage textiles and a love of drawing.

CERAMICS
KATY O'NEIL
Returning For 2026
Katy’s contemporary ceramic vessels, bowls and wall plaques are slabbed formed with textured or chunky black clay. They are decorated with slips before being impressed with marks, which are inspired by photographs taken whilst travelling extensively. Katy uses colour to highlight the texture and mark making on each unique piece before firing to stoneware. Katy also makes a range of ceramic jewellery which compliments the designs of her ceramics.

CERAMICS
KATIE PRUDEN CERAMICS
Returning For 2026
Katie is a ceramic artist whose work is a tactile and contemplative response to the natural world. Using hand-building techniques and smoke-firing processes, Katie crafts abstract forms that echo the textures, rhythms, and raw beauty of geological landscapes. Her approach is meditative, allowing each piece to evolve through its making—where control meets accident, and surface markings emerge from the unpredictable beauty of smoke. Copper leaf embellishments add warmth and vibrancy, enriching her work with a sense of depth and radiance.

CERAMICS
KIRSTI BROWN CERAMICS
Returning for 2026
Kirsti hand builds stoneware ceramics inspired by shoreline, landscapes, and archaeology. Figurative slab-built bottle forms are finished with a range of techniques using both slip and glaze to reflect different landscapes and neolithic rock markings.
Round vessels are pinched and coiled to create natural forms resembling seashells and pebbles using a variety of clays to bring further depth to her colour palate of turquoise and blue.

LAURA TIMMIS ART & CERAMICS
I am a Yorkshire-based artist whose work is deeply inspired by the natural landscape and
humanity’s enduring connection to it and desire to transform it. My collection of ceramic pieces
draws inspiration from the earth's layered history, reflecting the powerful forces that shape our
planet. My work invites contemplation on our relationship with the earth, both as a source of
inspiration and as a medium for human creativity.

MIXED MEDIA

inspired by upcycling. Her Japanese paper collection has jewel like colours, and her Cottage Garden
Collection feature her ink drawings. The earrings are created from sixpences, the pendants from
vintage wooden Scrabble tiles, these all have matching tins, and are finished with resin. Leigh's
mixed media pieces are inspired by vintage pieces and are themed around natural finds

CERAMICS
LITTLE BAUM CERAMICS
New For 2026
Little Baum Ceramics creates slip cast Kitchenalia found objects in porcelain. These are polished to create an eggshell texture, which both complements and contrasts the glazed elements of the piece. They are then broken and patched up with poisonous plant and fungi sprig decorations, which are glazed to provide contrast. Sometimes the damage is repaired with recycled copper phone wire. The pieces then come together as ‘A Pantry with a Threatening Aura’.
