For this early summer exhibition Louise is joined by 4 artists new to Clay Barn

Louise DarbyCeramics and Photographs.

Over the last 25 years Louise has been working in clay – at Clay Barn - predominantly making vessels, photographing amongst a wide subject matter - hollow forms, containers, for inspiration, for their form, line, colour and textural qualities.

Blake and Janette Mackinnon – ceramic jewellery

It was a fascination with small natural forms, shells, beetles, crystals and an interest in the small precise products of the electro porcelain industry, that has evolved into Blake & Janette’s collection of necklaces, earrings, brooches, bracelets, buttons and other similar objects. Colourfully decorated with glaze and lustre.

Sarah Simpson - paintings

Sarah works on canvas with oils, building layers, creating depths and voluptuous three dimensional qualities in her partially abstracted subjects – ranging from ceramic vessels, landscape and flowers, using subtle tones to vibrant colours, playing with perspective and dimensions.

Annie Williams – etchings

Worked from her paintings and drawings but on a smaller scale. They are entirely in aquatint and printed in sepia, with a watercolour wash picking out chosen areas, subtly introducing colour to a flower or vessels. Her subjects are of day to day objects, playing with shapes, patterns and colour built up in layers.

Louise selects fellow exhibitors whose work reflect similar qualities/inspirational sources to her own and are at one with the very special environment of her venue.

Visitors are able to meet the artists and find out how they go about their work.
