It
is with great pleasure we welcome back renowned sculptural ceramicist and
artist Blandine Anderson for a selling exhibition of her latest
creations which runs throughout May.
'In this exhibition I wanted to highlight some of the amazing abilities and adaptations of creatures which enable them to travel about in their daily lives, from the local, seasonal ventures to breed and find food, to the ways in which they use their incredible senses (seemingly like special powers) to undertake epic migrations across oceans and continents'.

'Some
of my pieces emphasize these abilities and adaptations, whilst other themes are
more commonplace and concentrate on the simple paths travelled by familiar
creatures as they go about their secret lives in our own back-gardens'.
All
of Blandine's works are unique and highly collectible. The paintings are
hand-painted in oils on deep-edged stretched canvas. The ceramics are
individually hand-built in either porcelain or stoneware.

'Working in partnership with the natural world and the people that shape it (both from the past and its future) is how I like to work.'
Tom Hare will be creating willow
sculptures.
'The whole process of producing willow sculpture is very grounding. Connecting with people and sharing the process is a fundamental part of my work.'
