3 - 4 December |  See brochure for artists’ times

Catrin Howell

Animals and the roles they play in mythology are a constant theme in Catrin's work.

Gill Rocca

Contemporary landscape paintings in oil, from miniatures on wood to large scale works on canvas.

Jonathan Lawes

Jonathan Lawes is an artist and designer based in south east London, experimenting predominantly with the silkscreen printing process. He creates prints with a distinctly graphic edge, reflecting his love of geometry, shape, and pattern.

Roseanne Connolly

Roseanne an artist working with ceramic and bronze. Her work is inspired by museum displays, the Wunderkammer and ornithology. She aims to create a spatial narrative with her work, much as objects within museum displays do. The particular placement of one piece next to another can change the way we view it, creating a discussion between them.

Birds have long been a fascination for Roseanne, partly due to their luxurious feathers, prehistoric beaks and fierce talons, but also because of their otherworldly impossibility; they represent flight, freedom and an exotic sense of otherness.

She loves the challenge of recreating the weightless feathers of a bird in an undeniably heavy material like clay, shaping and carving them bit-by-bit to reveal the form. The bright pops of colour found in nature play a large part in both her life and work. They take centre stage in bright, coloured clay sculptures, with wings and beaks accented by glaze.

Laura McKinley

An element of Laura's inspiration is the Italian technique, Incalmo, the joining together, whilst still hot, of two separately blown glass bubbles to form one piece. Inspired by “spinning tops”, ‘Trottola’ are playful and eye catching. By enlarging them and elaborately decorating them with bronze and details of cutting I am celebrating these simple forms, creating sculptures that trigger nostalgia.

Lola Lazaro Hinks

Lola Lazaro Hinks is a glass maker and photographer based in London. Her work spans sculpture, photography and designs for the home. She graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2018 with a MA in Ceramics and Glass and a BA in Fine Art Photography from the Arts University Bournemouth in 2012.

Peter Anthony Cooke

I would like to quote from something which John Piper said in 1950 ' My aims in painting are to express a personal love of country and architecture, humanity that inhabits them, and to increase my own understanding and nourish my own love of the work of other painters of the past and present'. Peter is an architect, and hopes that his watercolours and etchings express the same spirit as the quote from John Piper.

Clubland Studios

Walworth Methodist Church,
54 Camberwell Road, SE5 0EW

26 November | 12.00 - 17.00

Nel Burke

Nel’s practice is mainly collage, using old magazines, papers, packaging and books and cassette tapes.

This piece uses a black and white photo from a book as the ground, with colour images collaged on top. All three elements I was very drawn to, I can't exactly say why, they have been around in the studio for a while and I found a way to put them together which makes something more interesting than the individual elements.

Lesley Hilling

Lesley Hilling is an English self taught artist living and working in south London. During a successful career as a graphic designer and illustrator, lasting over over thirty years, she was shortlisted for several awards including the Canon Digital Print Award and the Mitsubishi Digital Print Award and was also featured in The Best of British Illustration. During this time Hilling became interested in a more art based practise and began to make box constructions heavily influenced by the work of Joseph Cornell and Louise Nevelson. Lesley works solely with recycled materials. She finds her materials in skips and at car boot fairs.

Coldharbour Studios

26 - 27 November | 11.00 - 18.00

Kali Forbes

The Cigar Ring is part of Hepworth, Kali Forbes™ debut demi-fine jewellery collection. Each of the pieces that comprise the collection are created using small batch production methods, and hand-finished in her studio in South London. The bold fluid forms are designed using vanguard technology and reference abstract art, organic textures, powerful natural processes such as erosion, as well as its namesake the late artist and sculptor, Barbara Hepworth.

First 3D printed in wax, each piece is then cast in recycled bronze and finished with 18CT yellow gold vermeil. Bronze signifies ancient artisanal practice, as well as being a material Barbara Hepworth often chose to work with, gold vermeil brings a touch of luxury to each piece.

From statement pieces such as the Hepworth Necklace and Ripple Hoops, to the smallest piece of the collection, the Ear Cuff, Kali intends each piece to be an inspiration to the wearer as well as the viewer.

Studio Cross

From a series 'Sicily' which is in response to the heat and environments encountered there. While unable to travel during the pandemic I revisited Sicily in my imagination and interpreted moments through colour and shapes.

Andrew Matheson

When we look at nature or at art we are often with other people who are also looking. It’s a shared experience but a private one. Looking at how the people are looking as well as looking myself is what this painting is about. As well as loads of blue paint for the sheer pleasure of it. I’m looking at the sea. I’ll jump in as soon as I can.

Warren Dennis

Warren Dennis is a multi- disciplinary artist who uses both traditional and readymade materials to challenge the viewer and explore the status of the readymade.

Jane Dillon

As a static image, good painting seems to have the ability to hold our gaze and imagination. It take us out of ourselves.

Aiming to achieve this is what I find so compelling about painting.
