“I make sculptures and drawings inspired by the colour, movement and diverse quirkiness of the sea’s fragile gardens. My practice is centred around the tactile process of manipulating and stitching into a variety of media; juxtaposing contrasting textures.”

Contact details are available in the bio: @not_enough_yellow or Samantha-harvey.com.

I also run stitching and mentoring workshops, primarily for children and young people: @stitch.sam or www.stitch.club

Kerry is a freelance illustrator working out of her studio at Harrow Arts Centre, Hatch End.  She creates custom illustrations for a variety of uses and always welcomes new opportunities to collaborate.

Her designs are inspired by the spontaneous fluid splashy nature of watercolour and the feelings of freedom, energy and grace in dance.

I create British botanical jewellery and keepsakes which originated from my children picking flowers from the garden and wanting to encapsulate the moment in something beautiful to wear. I use my own collection of flowers to create one-off pieces and take my clients special items, to create their own keepsakes, to save their memories in wearable pieces.

Growing up in rural Leicestershire, I was taught by my gran how to grow flowers. Now living in London, I have taken my small plot and turned it into a flower haven where many of my pieces start from seed. Throughout the year, I pick and dry my flowers which I then arrange in glass spheres with cocktail sticks and tweezers before sealing them from the elements in either silver or gold.

Sian is inspired by vintage suitcases overflowing with keepsakes, childhood memories and nature “I stitch and collage to achieve a painterly like quality with wonky edges, wavy lines and rogue stitches” My artwork is created from new and recycled fabric, paper and embellishments.
