Claire West is a painter and printmaker who works from her studio in Beverley.  Her work is made with the intention of bringing joy through uplifting colours and subject matter.  Claire allows her work to organically develop.  Through a series of layers and mark making, images evolve when her imagination is free to invent and respond to the random marks.

Qi Fang Colbert originally trained in traditional pottery, qualifying with a BA and MA in Visual Design at Jiangnan University in China.  Qi pushed her knowledge and practice further and gained a place on the PhD Practice – led Fine Art Course at Newcastle University, UK,  She is an active artist, ceramist, illustrator, art tutor and independent researcher working between art practice and academic research.  Exploring the Surreal practice of open narratives of stream of consciousness, her work in ceramics explores conversations and mutual encouragement between the object and drawings. 

Our Open Studio Event is part of the fairly new initiative organised by our friends at the Humber Street Gallery.  This will take place on Saturday 10^th May with many other studios and artists opening their spaces to the public.  We will be offering demonstrations in throwing on the potter’s wheel and model making outside the front of the gallery (weather permitting!).
