| Photo Shoot at La Shed Photography by Sylvaine Poiteau |
 |
£300 - £500 | Sylvaine Poitau The Photographer. 'The experience of working with Sylvaine is much like the finished product: Inspiring and unexpected, but above all memorable.' Sylvaine writes: 'I was born in France, spent my early years in North Africa, before returning to live in Brittany, Nice and Paris. I moved to London twenty years ago, where I worked for many years in studios or on location around the world, before settling on the Norfolk/Suffolk border and opening La Shed photographic studio. I photography most things, but I love people most - I studied sculpture at art school in France which probably explains why. The most important thing is to have fun with people and for them to enjoy being photographed. I think it changes their image, their look and that's when you see them at their most natural. There is a lot of spontaneity in my pictures, because I see that as the real challenge - to make something fabulous happen at the last minute, so most pictures area a response to the person and the situaton. I also like the quantity on a shoot, partly the rhuthm of taking many pictures, but mainly because I think you are creating something with someone and each shot is a step on the way to the finished piece. That's where the best work comes from. | Sylvaine Poiteau |

| Dee Evans 'Room With A View' |
 |
£180 | Collage 48 x 48 cm Framed. I have been painting and printmaking for over thirty years using many different media, and studied Art and Design at Norwich City College. I am currently concentrating on highly colourful mixed media collages. These are made with original monoprints (produced in batches), as well as other printed material such as newspapers and magazines, and sometimes textile fragments. The materials are cut or torn to form a semi abstract mage which is mounted on board, canvas or paper, which sometimes has an acrylic underpainting. The composition is not defined at the beginning but arises organically as I work with the materials. It may start with a vague idea, a piece of collage paper or fabric. I am inspired by colour which is why I make many collages of flowers. I am also inspired by the landscape in hot Mediterranean countries as it tends to be more colourful than the UK and memories of views from shuttered windows, terraces and balconies onto hot landscapes are always particular favourite subjects. Some ideas spring from paintings by renowned artists, particularly Matisse. This collage includes a view of the Portuguese countryside. | Dee Evans |

| A night in a 19th century Preacher's Waggon and a ride on a vintage tractor. |
 |
£80 | Donated by a Trustee of designermakersCIO : Over a century old this restored Preacher's Waggon sleeps two. It has a double bed and wood burning stove. These vehicles were made for summer evangelical missions travelling from village to village to spread the word of God and to win converts to their non-conformist religious denomination. The Preacher’s waggon may have originally carried large painted religious tracts on its side to spread the gospel. The minister would have preached from the front of the waggon and there is evidence that a harmonium was used to accompany singing. The Preacher would have slept inside (as you will) while the story goes that his servant had to sleep beneath. A Shower and compost toilet are available nearby. The Vintage tractor is a recently restored Fordson Major Diesel made around 1953. | Bill Seaman & Janine Oxley |

£100 | Linocut on paper Mounted Limited Edition of 150 / signed, numbered and dated by the artist The ‘SUMMIT’ print explores the creative capacity of the female body, in relation to the spaces we inhabit. The work is inspired by the figure of the Femme Maison, here presented in a powerful, energetic and protective position, charged by the architecture that she exists in conjunction with. The print encapsulates the potent memories I have of the physical action of sitting naked astride roofs in past performance works. It speaks of experiences of home, motherhood and the personal as political. Positioned at the apex of the architecture, ’SUMMIT’ presents the maternal body as a figurehead at the forefront of society. | Poppy Jackson |

| Clare Johnson ‘Crowns Awanting’ |
 |
£595 | series number: 1. Frame size 73 x 52cm The image is a print combining several mono prints with a screened image. Mono Print; Unlike limited edition printing -where multiple copies of an image are produced, a mono-print means there was only one impression produced, making it a one-of-a-kind artwork. I achieve this by inking-up a plate with colour and passing it through an etching press Screen Printing is a stencil method of printmaking: It involves transferring separate colours of ink onto a surface through a woven mesh one layer at a time. I only do the black dot as a screen print | Gary Hincks |
