I recently visited the British Craft Trade Fair in Harrogate and met some really talented artists. Be it ceramics, candle making, watercolours or woodwork the UK has some fabulous small artisan makers.
Two artists caught my eye, Leamne Arias Deniz who is an artist based in Edinburgh, originally from Cuba. She has lived in 7 countries and loves illustrating cities, towns and villages with watercolour and collage using sustainable products.

My aim is to create an exhibition in Croston later in the year of the various artwork that visually encapsulates our village in all its glory.
