Sarah Ball (paintings) & Lucy Edwards (handbuilt pots)From Saturday 3rd May until Saturday 31st May 2008Sarah BallSarah Ball grew up in South Yorkshire and having studied illustration at Newport Art College she was then based in London, working as an illustrator for a range of high profile clients. Since 1995 Sarah has been living in South Wales and concentrating on her painting, currently producing small scale works inspired by the landscapes of Cornwall and Wales. "The Coast series takes the colours, light and coastline of North Cornwall as their inspiration. Cornwall has been a tangible, physical presence in my life since childhood - Yellow gorse, green sea, wet moor land pasture, rooftop lichen, can all be found within these coast paintings, which also draw influence from painters such as Ben Nicholson and William Scott.

Lucy has exhibited her work across the UK and in Zurich. "Starting from a pinched form, I gradually build up the body of the pot using coils of clay. I enjoy the slow, steady pace of this way of working, getting to know each pot intimately, inside and out. The space inside always feels as important as the external form and I aim for a calm, quiet place at the heart of each piece."
