This year we have ceramic artist Gill Hunter Nudds who produces hand built sculptural pieces inspired by wild beasts and birds and the beauty of wild places. She is inspire by the local landscape of woodlands, rivers and wild meadows which are rich in wildlife and offer her the opportunities for connecting with nature. Each animal, bird or beast is hand built and unique.

Another new local artist is Linda Mills who works with willow to produce baskets and sculpture.

All the baskets are made using traditional methods but the more contemporary designs include other items such as shotgun cartridges or shells. The willow used is grown in Somerset, Hampshire and Dorset.

Animals and birds are made with reference to photographs and personal observation, if kept indoors they will last indefinitely.

Sophy White, a ceramicist who will also be showing her work, mainly inspired by horses. They have always appeared in Sophy’s work through painting, drawing and now ceramics. This is a thread that has run all through her life.

Sophy also incorporates other animals such as deer, foxes and ravens into her work.

There will be beautiful hand made jewellery by Hanna Palfrey whose work is inspired by the natural world.
Also inspired by nature, wood artist Mick Waterhouse, will be showing his beautiful sculptures in a range of woods.

We are also very proud to present the work of twelve year old Maxim and his ‘Bamboo Bee’ hotels.

“The loss of habitat is a problem for British bees with 97% of grasslands lost in the past 60 years. One solution is creating attractive bee hotels and encouraging solitary bees into your garden, you will be providing a habitat and helping these hundreds of different pollinators.’ All made by hand in West Sussex, all products reused and recycled.  All hotels come with a free packet of wild flower seeds and 50% of all proceeds will be donated to a local bee charity

There will be FREE ART ACTIVITIES in the garden and art demonstrations at weekends.
