Artists A-D
Photographer Ernest Cadegan makes orderly, elegant images of everyday scenes that are often described as painterly and evocative.
Artists E-H
She creates larger than life, highly detailed metal insects. Each complex sculpture contains a treasure in a hidden cavity and incorporates gold, silver and gemstones in its construction.
Using stoneware clay combined with both wheel and hand building techniques, Flo creates pieces as diverse as buttons, bathroom sinks, tablelamps and tiles. Surface decoration is her passion which may include painting apples and floral designs on the pots or fluting and carving the raw clay. These approaches to her work result in some very unique dinner sets( plates, mugs, bowls) for both people and pets, serving and baking dishes, fashionable vases, planters of all sizes and much more.

Artists M-P
Dawn MacNutt uses basketry techniques to create freestanding woven sculpture , sometimes life sized and larger than life. They are generally abstracted figurative works inspired by human forms and postures. Starting with natural materials like willow, these are sometimes cast in bronze for indoor and outdoor installation. Recently, she has introduced paint to her work. Smaller works are woven from copper wire or shaped and coloured woven wirecloth.
Alexandra McCurdy, ceramist/printmaker works in porcelain making highly decorative, one-of-a-kind, colourful pieces, informed by her long standing interest in textiles.
