Zoë Rubens
I make sculptures and prints reflecting my interest in the effect of politics and power on individuals and on the world around us. I am interested in the emotions life creates. Drawing is an integral part of making sculpture and creating prints, by recording my surroundings, drawing ideas and planning. My sculptures are a coalescence of ceramics, concrete, ferris and non-ferris metals, welded, cast, brazed, smoked and fired. Currently exhibiting in London, Edinburgh, Cambridge and Suffolk, I have shown widely in the UK and abroad, including Scandinavia, Portugal and Japan.

Colin Slee
The English landscape gives Colin the impetus to paint and achieve an ambition held in check for many years since leaving college in the mid-sixties. His aim is to create an expressive response to the environment - the ever-changing effects of the elements on water, skies, forests and the countryside inspire him to portray an atmospheric and emotional sense of place. As the image "emerges" a feeling of "rightness" prevails - only then can the viewer inhabit that space.

Ursula Stroh-Rubens
Ursula creates unique, hand-built sculptural vessels, which are first biscuit fired and then Raku fired or smoked. She has travelled extensively in Greece where the evidence of cultural origins and the land, as well as nature and architecture, have greatly shaped her visual language. She relates this experience to the forms and structures that develop through the process of building the pot. Thus birds, trees, skies and land emerge out of slips, pigments and fire. Ursula studied at Goldsmiths’ College School of Art in London where she later was appointed to a lectureship. Her work is held in many collections including the Wilfrid Trust, Auckland, New Zealand, The Gateshead Museum, Shipley and Stadt Dortmund, Germany.
