Patience Beaumont at www.bgallery.co.uk
I trained at the London College of Furniture and did a BTEC at Ipswich College of Art. I now specialise in hand dyeing and printing, batik and devore. I like using natural dyes when possible and I offer courses in natural dyeing. Saffron and indigo are particularly good dyes to use and I love to experiment with colour. Some of my work is based on sketches I make when I go to Spain but I also use images of the countryside and wildlife around my home. Sometimes I incorporate photographs.

Clare Lloyd - b gallery
Colour Design Jewellery by Clare Lloyd
Clare is a jewellery designer-maker working with a range of materials from precious metals through to polymer clays, resins, recycled plastic, glass, semi precious stones and vintage beads abd buttons.
Clare loves colour. Colour is her inspiration and her obsession. Using polymer clays (and occasionally resin clays) she blends and mix primary colours like paint to create as many different shades and tones as she can and then hand roll each bead. She can never seem to recreate the same colour twice so each piece she makes is unique. Polymer clay is a very versatile material and a lot of fun to work with. It is light and comfortable to wear, it's also pretty tough and easy to look after.
Clare also loves working with precious metals and makes jewellery using traditional silver smithing techniques. She is fascinated by texture and the different effects that can be achieved by hammering so a lot of her work in metal is a result of experiments with hammering techniques, reticulation and use of the rolling mill. She sometimes use copper and gold in her designs and add a splash of colour with beads.
Clare welcomes commissions and would love to hear from you if you have any designs in mind.
You can follow her on Pintrest and Twitter and through her website for more information and new designs.

Sarah Hodgkins - 'Charlotte Designs' Art Work helps Care Home
Social Hub for Care Home
When I first arrived at this dementia unit, the walls were all magnolia and there were comfy sofas all around, yet was only used regularly by a handful of residents. The team leader however, had a vision. She wanted it to look like a park, an inviting outdoor area that would be the hub of the floor and provide the residents with a stimulating area that they would enjoy being in. The tile flooring was replaced with 'road' and grass areas, the sofas with park benches and I was tasked with turning the walls into parkland, gardens and flower beds. "Your art work is brill and has brightened up the living space for our residents. And made the ideas that were in my head become real. The residents love it , the staff love it and our visitors love it what more could we ask for !!" says Team Leader Nicola Johnson. There is even a lake, a playground and a birdbath with birds. The whole thing is finished off with trees and lamp posts, bringing the outside in! Now the area is a buzzing place with the staff noticing a significant increase in sociability and a reduction in aggression. Put simply, it is now an interesting and pleasant place to sit.

Marian S Adcock - http://mariansart.com
Marian S Adcock is primarily a botanical artist, but is also a skilled animal portraitist and landscape artist. Her medium is wax and oil-based colored pencil on premium archival quality vellum surface artists' paper.
Marian derives inspiration for her botanical artwork by carefully observing the numerous brightly colored flowers amongst the plantain lilies (Hosta genus) in the gardens surrounding her Stonebridge Gardens Art Studio in Saint Paul, MN. She also visits gardens throughout the Upper Midwest for inspiration. Marian's artwork continues the ancient traditions botanical artists have used over the centuries to depict plant life. She continues the tradition of combining artistic sensitivity with scientific accuracy when she paints plants' vibrant colors, and intricate, fleeting and fragile structures. Her artwork also follows the traditions of presenting botanical artwork on either a white background or in situ.
