I create figures in clay and in papier mäché and a mixture of the two. The clay figures are fired with non-realistic glazes, sometimes in a raku kiln. I also dig clay locally and produce more experimental work.

Open all year around by prior appointment.

I work mainly in acrylic, with animals of all kinds providing both the subject and the inspiration for my painting. I am self taught but have been painting and exhibiting since the age of 15 and still enjoy the daily challenge of creating something new and exciting.

Animals are my main passion when I paint. No animal is safe, horses and dogs feature heavily with a few penguins, wolves and owls thrown in for good measure.

This year we have two artists working in the Hidden Gardens; Sarah Key derives inspiration from the flowers, foliage and plants while John Hedley is working on paintings and collages inspired by the trees in Coed Cadnant.

I graduated in Fine Art Printmaking, but recently became interested in mosaic work. I was ararded a grant by the Arts Council of Wales to attend a mosaic course at Ravenna, Italy. I like the rhythm mosaic creates, and how the spacing and reflection of light affects the work.

My work consists of large oils on canvas, charcoal, and pencil drawings. I feel very connected to things that are folding and dying as they contort and twist from their upright forms. Organic flowering and earthy colours, the work celebrates a fascination for the natural forms found in hedgerows and fields.

Peter Read makes colourful giclée prints to cheer himself up. He has been working on this for ten years and a selection of his best efforts will be on display. Peter is inspired by Paul Klee and John Craxton.

My inspiration is the natural and man-made landscape and the inter-relationships between them. I seek to describe the effect of light on what I see. I work mainly in oil and acrylic.

Open throughout the year.

Dottie-May’s sculptures and paintings symbolise
personal themes through motifs of natural curiosities
and the female figure. Jonathan’s work explores nature,
memory, and perception through abstract oil paintings.

Stories, nature and life in Wales inspire me to make paintings and sculptures. I love to experiment with all kinds of technique and materials to make my work interesting.
