Showcase Exhibition | May – July 2025

We are delighted to welcome three local artists in the Showcase for May, June and July.

Displaying their work are Sue Welfare, Fay Jones and Sarah Finley.

Fay Jones with works across a variety of mediums including wood, textiles and photography. Influenced by the natural world, Fay sources local wood for her exquisite carved spoons, crochet hooks and buttons, and forages plants to hand dye hand spun wool. Be sure to pop out into the courtyard where Fay’s marvellous willow sculpture ‘Pearl’ is residing! 

Sarah Finley is a weaver and spinner, and has on display a sumptuous collection of scarves and cushion colours made using Shetland Wool. Sarah’s woven work is hand-dyed in beautiful rich, earthy colours, and beautifully finished with hand tied tassels. 

Sue Welfare with a gorgeous range of bold lino prints. Sue takes inspiration from nature to create her intricate lino cuts, many of which feature birds found at the coast, and in the garden. Alongside her original framed prints, Sue has a great range of greetings cards. 

You can visit the Showcase any Thursday to Saturday 10am-5pm upstairs in the main building at designermakers21. All works on display are for sale.
