Parsonage, Aiden
(view Gallery).
In my response to the landscape I place particular importance upon colour structures. I focus on the act of painting through formal qualities such as: line, colour, structure, composition, light and space. I have made my work with the intention of stimulating the human senses, as well as the mind…
Partington, Janine
(view Gallery).
I am a designer-maker based in Bristol combining the traditional craft of enamelling with fresh, clean, contemporary design.
Enamelling is the art of fusing glass onto metal. Watching an enamelled copper panel emerging from a kiln glowing red hot after being fired at a temperature of 800°C is always an exciting experience. As the metal cools the true colours of the panel emerge…

COMBINED PROCESS ON PAPER
‘A painting is an accumulation of time apprehended instantaneously’ Peter Lanyon
In the continuous framework of experience over time, the past and present find their equivalents within a working process, where a kind of alchemy takes place…
Percival, Anja
(view Gallery).
I am a printmaker, and the majority of my work combines collagraph and etching techniques to build up multilayered imagery with rich, textural surfaces. My prints utilise both representational and abstract elements, to produce images that portray my experience of the landscape.
I am fascinated by the different atmospheres that light creates in both our rural and urban environments…
Perring, Susie
(view Gallery).
Nowadays I work almost entirely in aquatint (images made up entirely of tones, with no drawn lines) or make monoprints painted directly on the printing plate.
I love aquatints for the range of contrast possible, and for the velvety effect it gives, especially with darker colours…
Phelps, Barbara
(view Gallery).
After a career teaching, Barbara graduated recently as a mature student in Visual Arts.

Phillips, Jonathan
(view Gallery).
“My work is made to be used and enjoyed. It is all thrown using a stoneware clay. I keep the forms as simple as possible, working on the subtle variations and contrasts that highlight one form from another.
For the surfaces I layer slips and glazes, to create a rich and varied effect, and use a combination of dipping, pouring and hakeme to make spontaneous marks which compliment the form.
