Experimenting with different mediums is always a challenge especially when using acrylic, pastel, bleach, wax and charcoal together on one picture! Visit the Boat House to view the results and talk about the experience!
Sally Elford
New prints and collages. This year I enjoyed working in more traditional media - my prints and collages are all hand made and completely non-digital. I have loved creating different textures with ink, paint and print from which I then cut my pieces, resulting in simple compositions where the shapes and colours give impact.
Original artworks will be available both framed and unframed. These will also be available as giclee prints.
A small number of handmade lampshades are also available.

Tonwen Jones (All Mapped Out)
Tonwen studied Illustration at Central Saint Martins and more recently completed her MA in Sequential Design & Illustration at Brighton University.
Tonwen works as a freelance illustrator and has recently moved to newhaven where she can see the ferries coming in and out of the harbour from her studio.
If she's not creating hand drawn maps, then she's creating collage work, often referencing her large collection of 50's magazines in which she searches for images, objects and textures to manipulate her surrealist creations, revealing her comical take on everyday life. She also likes to draw complex pattern motifs in ink or pen mixing styles and techniques.
