Art for Christmas

Just in time for Christmas shopping we have some new Leslie Watts still life work. Each picture is on a 5 x 7 inch board and painted in egg tempera. They are matted and ready for giving. For anyone who loves Leslie's work these are the perfect addition to their art collection, and just the right size to sneak into any space.

Mary Philpott

We have great new vases, plates and platters, cups and bowls by local potter, Mary Philpott. We also have a good stock of her trademark tiles in various sizes.

Michelle Salter

 Local artist, Michelle Salter's  newest works are in encaustic, also known as hot wax painting. This is a very old method of painting and is done by adding coloured pigments to beeswax and applying the hot wax to a prepared board or canvas. In Michelle's work she uses a combination of beeswax, damar resin and oil paint. Michelle likes the encaustic medium for its luminous colours, its lustre and its highly textured surface, all of the qualities visible in the two works shown here.
