Robert Andrew
Mixed MediaPaintingKinetic sculpture“I began my creative life as a freelance illustrator after college, learning to build images through careful lines and quiet observation. Illustration taught me discipline, but it also revealed how much I longed for a space where imagination could stretch beyond the edges of the page.”
Not wheelchair accessible. There is no toilet, no view from the pavement and nothing to eat or drink. Ring ahead to ask what is possible.

Edward Thomas
Sculpture“I am a figuratively trained sculptor with over fifteen years of experience in fine art, craft, and large-scale sculptural production. My practice focuses on close observation of the human form, exploring presence, character, and a sense of place through material, process, and detail.”

Ben Jones
Mixed MediaCut paper/pixel art/model making“Ben is an avidly online game developer from Manchester. Ben’s work conceptualises a critical commentary of postmodern technology. His neo-pixel art gives a sense of nostalgia, but his skillfully curated vibrant colour palettes, densely packed textures and details always give his work a sense of lighthearted play.”
Not wheelchair accessible. There is no toilet, no view from the pavement and nothing to eat or drink. Ring ahead to ask what is possible.

David Jones
Wood“During the course of my 30 years as a furniture maker, I have tried to express my artistic side through the manufacture of making mainly utilitarian items for others in timber but also gaining insight in the recreation/ repair of period pieces. This has allowed me to create new pieces in different styles as well as my own.”
