CA Artist of the Month
Gina Hughes
My lifelong fascination for the natural world has found its expression in my art, creating forms and images which communicate my appreciation of its beauty and the layers of potential experience, inviting the viewer to share my encounter.I have always been drawn to the detail, close attention to the exquisite beauty in the minutiae, being aware of the personal significance contained within objects. Each item is framed within a compartment and holds a snapshot of one complete moment in time, combining with the others to depict the memories of life experiences, a framed portrait. The selected objects are carefully arranged, with meticulous consideration to orderly composition and colour palette.
What's On
Pi Potters is having a massive work sale at Crafts Alive to clear out her studio before closing for an extended period in 2025. Enjoy 50% OFF all marked prices on her beautiful, handcrafted and raku fired ceramics. Each piece is unique and
