Greta was inspired by Bernard Leach, potter and Philosopher and her father Sven Berlin, sculptor, watching them, for hours as they formed their work under their hands, one the sensual growth of a pot on the wheel the other carving away, bit by bit, to reveal the image.

Making and showing ceramic sculpture since ‘74, her development took her into stone carving and welded steel structures. The latter gave her the freedom to work on a larger scale. In ’92 she moved to West Dorset where she enjoys the space and big skies of her beloved West Country.

In her sculpture, Greta reflects the dichotomy of our inner lives; a woman needing a creative life, maybe, yet fearing her ability to give her children all they need as well. The anomalies of the world around us; The ‘have and have-nots’. The innocent victims of conflict. Her strengths lie with the figure, which she has drawn and sculpted for more than 40 years.

When the days are short, John should be laying his hedges, or coppicing in his woodlands. When the days are long John should be making charcoal, or mending his cob-and-lime walls. However, John finds that the materials he encounters, each day, tend to distract him from these essential tasks, and draw him into making Land Art.

The opening line of Blake’s Auguries of Innocence ‘To see a World in a grain of Sand’ gave Anthony the impetus to try and build a world out of clay and to that end, he has been trying to do this ever since. Anthony says he builds large hollow spheres in three different sizes all made by hand from stoneware and these are then fired using a volcanic glaze. The surfaces are coloured and textured in order to create an impression of volcanic craters, lava flows and meteorite strikes! Since these pieces of art are impervious to the elements, they can be displayed either indoors or outside on a plinth or just resting on the ground. Recently Anthony has begun to experiment with using the spherical form as building blocks for composite geometric structures such as tetrahedrons – the world is simply changing and you need to keep in touch with him!

Adrian Gray is the pioneer of stone balancing art. His work is predominantly sculpture and photography based on the natural world of balance. He creates balancing sculptures using weathered stone, photographing them in natural locations to capture their transient beauty.

Adrian also creates balanced sculptures as private commissions for the garden, home or workplace. He films the initial balance and then fixes the sculpture in its new location. To show live examples of his work he performs stone balancing demonstrations where he creates new sculptures on site.

In the past 14 years Adrian’s work has evolved to include new ideas and themes, but the predominant feature remains the beauty and seemingly impossible nature of balance.

Works with mostly clay and plaster to develop ideas before realising them by carving in stone or having them cast in bronze or filled resin. Ideas can come from anywhere – an emotional reaction perhaps or a fleeting form. Not always easy to give them a name but sometimes a metaphor will attach itself.

Until one day a strange perfume wafted on the breeze and our little bee forgot all about home, honey and how important it was to be part of a team. For without the help of our little bee, the world would have no food, no food at all; especially no apples!

A Yorkshire based sculptor creating unique works from up-cycled materials.  Growing up in South Wales gave a strong sense of industrial history. With access to various old tools and materials – ideal for an inquisitive mind – I spent hours creating things, exploring methods and processes, setting solid foundations for the work I produce today.

I identify with corvids on a personal level -– they are gregarious, mischievous and demonstrate a clear sense of freedom and fun. I immerse myself in my subject, intensively researching its nature, gaining insights as to how to transcribe into metal. Copper is my predominant material, it brings longevity, taking up to 90 years just for the surface to turn from bright copper to verdigris green. I hope my viewers inner critic smiles, and they too feel the keen sense of enjoyment and fun I experience while creating them.

Ian is a member of the Royal British Society of Sculptors. The texture he adds to the stainless steel makes his sculptures shimmer when you move around them or as the daylight changes and the seasons alter. The sculpture picks up the colours from its surroundings so subtly that you hardly notice it, but when you look into the curved forms it’s there, helping the sculpture assimilate with its surroundings. There is a bold freshness in the crisp stainless steel and yet this hard material softens and disappears, lost in the flowing forms – the transformation is almost magical. His use of modern materials to create natural forms allows them to sit comfortably in either traditional gardens or in the minimalist landscape of modern architecture. Wherever you choose to place them they make a statement that is strong and bold and as delicate as their natural counterparts.

After a life changing accident 10 years ago I decided to pick up my chainsaw and combine it with my artistic instincts to begin creating chainsaw carved sculptures and seating. I now work with private clients, organisations, schools, and festivals to produce bespoke sculptures and seating. I also exhibit my work in sculpture exhibitions nationally. Recent commissions include Burrator Reservoir visitor centre – Dartmoor National Park, The Bishop’s Palace, Wells, Somerset and recent exhibitions include RHS Rosemoor Gardens Winter Sculpture exhibition and Sir Harold Hillier Gardens – Art in The Garden sculpture exhibition. I work in both large scale and small scale, working closely with my clients to design and create bespoke pieces.

Originally from Devon, Sue has worked in various countries, including the Middle East and the Mediterranean, and has been both influenced and inspired by the different cultures and architecture which combined with a keen interest in the environment and nature, has provided Sue with the possibility of creating unique and individual pieces, whilst helping to preserve the natural beauty that surrounds. Blending a mix of new and recycled materials: mirrors, glass containers, aquariums, bowling balls, these bright mosaics have endless possibilities to reflect and bring beauty, light, and energy into our daily lives. Designed to withstand our English weather, they can be placed as wall panels, among climbing plants, used to liven up a gloomy corner, floated or filled with solar lights to bring a splash of colour to our dormant winter landscapes.
