Showcase Exhibition | February – April 2025

We are delighted to welcome three local artists in the Showcase for February, March and April.

Displaying their work are Becky Whatley, Cathie Fiddling and Keri Lowe (Fibre and Earth Studios).

Becky Whatley – Multi-talented, Becky is showing her fabulous pictures, which she creates with precision pyrography, and oil paint to finish. Becky also creates rather wonderful felted creatures.

Cathie Fiddling – Cathie makes attractive mosaics using broken crockery. Adding extra interest, and a little bit of humour with lettering in a very charming fashion.

Keri Lowe (Fibre and earth Studios) – Keri is a potter and sculptor. She hand builds with coils, slabs, and throws on the wheel. Her work is decorated using sgraffito. All are beautiful pieces of work, often functional, sometimes sculptural, with a focus on surface decoration.

Visit the Showcase upstairs at designermakers21 every Thursday to Saturday 10am-5pm.
