Ceramics, Jewellery and Art

Steve Terry's artistic journey has led him from restoring antiques and making acoustic guitars, to discovering a new passion: pottery. This ancient art form allows him to express his creativity and fulfill his artistic ambitions in ways he never anticipated.

Kelly Archer has had a long love affair with art, which now shines through in her exquisite handmade silver and enamel jewellery, captivating paintings and ceramic decoration. Kelly studied Animal Conservation at University and each piece reflects her deep love for nature, inviting you to explore a world where natural beauty and artistry intertwine.

 

Kelly's first love is painting.  Starting with graphite, she then followed a natural progression through watercolour, gouache and pastel, and has found a new passion for oil painting.  Initially focusing on custom pet portraits, she now enjoys painting still lives featuring pottery, glass, flora and fauna.

​

Kelly originally took a taster course in silversmithing and enamelling around the year 2000 having always been fascinated by the work of Faberge.  After a long hiatus, but still excited by the jewel-like qualities of enamels, she began small-scale jewellery silversmithing which has progressed to include filigree and etching.  She is always looking for ways to incorporate colourful enamel into her work, despite the many challenges enamel presents.

​

Most recently, Kelly has started a journey into ceramics with her husband.  Very much a partnership, Steve spends most of the time on the wheel while Kelly decorates them with glazes, underglazes, bas-relief, high-relief, sgraffito and other methods.  ​
