Fran Wood
Fran seeks inspiration from the natural forms found in the garden and on the family farm in Dorset. Also a keen traveller, she is to be found with her sketch book from on top of an ant hill in Botswana to an alley way in a Moroccan souk. Her colourful works are mostly in watercolour and oils.

TC Evans
TC has lived in Dorset for 16 years. A background in films and a constant traveller and avid sailor, she draws her inspiration from all sources, and is constantly experimenting with mediums and techniques. This ever changing journey displays itself in a diverse mix of subject matter in oil, acrylic and watercolour.

Rod Page
Rod's passion for wood developed whilst living and working in The Bahamas. Taking wood in its green state he sometimes creates the piece in one go, but more often rough turning, allowing the wood to dry and then finish turning. He uses mainly local wood often found on the beach with which he makes bowls, hollow forms and table lamps.
