Adrian's greatest inspiration is the plasticity of hot steel and the ability to form and manipulate the steel into a design that embodies his philosophy of beauty. Music is also something that inspires his sculptural work and he admires songwriters that can paint a picture in the mid or elicit an emotion that is strong enough to inspire him to ant to interpret it in steel.

Elizabeth has lived in Wensleydale for over 30-years. Growing up on the edge of the moors sowed the seeds for a love of wide open spaces, walking and being outdoors. She has always had a passion for taking photographs and enjoys capturing moments in time whilst out walking - nature and the environment through the changing seasons are the core themes of her work. Having left full-time work, and children growing up, the idea for her cards came to life.

Gaynor first began to work in stone 25 years ago and was captivated by the ancient process of carving stone with hand tools

Jennifer & Adrian work from their home studio in Co. Durham. Known for the detailed naturalistic designs inspired by the countryside they are hand cast from Earthenware and fired in a kiln to 1140c. Jennifer draws a design onto the ceramics with a pencil then paints them using under glaze oxides. They are finished with slip-trailing to give a slightly raised effect. Once complete the ceramics are usable, decorative and they make beautiful gifts.

Sheila is a textile artist who enjoys making hand stitched books.   The surface designs on the covers are created individually from natural leaf prints, acrylic mono prints and from fragments of vintage fabrics. The fabric is then waxed to protect the surface.
