invites you to

quintessential: the essential part of any substance; a refined extract; the purest and most perfect...embodiement of quality or class; a fifth substance forming the heavenly bodies and pervading all things.

Rosemary Molesworth makes functional decorative pottery that uses stylized, naive decoration on simple forms to retain a whimsical humorous outlook. Stencils, slips, sgraffito and ceramic pencil are used to create pieces that are able to establish an emotional link with the viewer.
Kathryn Thomson uses glass as a fascinating canvas on which to explore whimsy or more serious themes. The dance and excitement of creating blown glass and the slower play of reworking cold glass is a wonderful medium of beauty and possibility.
Linda Jenetti has a contemporary painting style that focuses a modern eye on traditional subjects. Her landscapes, still lifes and urban scenes are colourful and impressionistic, allowing the spirit of personal vision to be realized.
Brenda Roy is an international award-winning designer who creates jewellery inspired by historical Celtic and medieval artifacts. Her work is an exploration of contrasts between metal and stone, precious gems and rough minerals, and contemporary designs with ancient artifacts.

Pat Burns-Wendland focuses on the interplay of colour and weave structures. She manipulates colour through hand dyeing of the yarns before the weaving process. Each piece of textile and clothing is unique in design and structure with emphases on individuality.
