Mosaic Artist - Totnes, Devon

After travelling widely, Natalie settled near Totnes and started making jewellery. She soon became drawn to the art of mosaic and gradually taught herself the techniques and skills involved. Her inspiration initially drew on the diverse cultures she had been exposed to whilst travelling. Colours are a huge inspiration, especially bold bright hues. More recently she has been drawn to mixed media mosaics, adding different textures, levels and depths to her art. 'Playing with light', she includes refraction and iridescence in her work. She creates both geometric and abstract pieces and more figurative representations as well as outdoor sculptures, tables and birdbaths and welcomes commissions.

Textile Artist - Plymouth, Devon

Beverley Bailey's most recent qualification was a City and Guilds diploma in Embroidery and Design. Exploring different media has been a stimulus for much of her work. At present she is working with modern roofing felt and free machine embroidery to create practical decorative items. Design inspirations can come from unexpected sources - the circles and curvy lines were originally derived from the shapes seen in purple sprouting broccoli.

Paper and textile artist - Exeter, Devon

Paper and textile artist Jane Price considers how the art work is viewed and unifies the container or frame with the content. Her butterfly boxes are displayed like prized specimens, while the dragonflies represent contemplation by a river bank with all the preparations for a day of fishing. I set out to create the smallest textile pieces (on the end of a pin) that I could make, which coincided with my fascination since childhood, of collecting and collections; in this case of butterflies and moths. The motivation to collect when others may not see the objects also interests me, hence the secrecy of the antique wooden drawers. The drawers act as a frame as they are hung sideways on the wall, but also suggest the obsessive collector. The "insects" are made from felted silk wastes, stitched and stained with wire armatures supporting their fragile wings.
