Ceramics

Sussex born Yolande Beer maker of brightly coloured earthenware and white stoneware.

Paintings & sculpture

I have pratised my art since my art training (1978-1985), seeking to draw from the land and the human figure. I look at the atmosphere (clouds), the geography and the history of the landscape in my surroundings.

Sculpture & Painting

I sculpt from clay which is then glazed and stone-fired. I have recently started painting, focusing on colour, shape and movement.

Stone Sculpture

Ceramics

My work is influenced by a combination of the form of the local landscape and the marks left in it by our ancestors and the desire to make functional objects particularly those associated with food. I enjoy the process of making but also being able further to affect the work by firing with wood to colour any unglazed surface. I work mainly in stoneware clays to produce cups , jugs, bowls and plates as well as casseroles.

Paintings

Contemporary British Landscape Artist, Rebecca Magner (nee Trotman), draws inspiration from her local environment; rural, coastal and industrial. Her paintings evolve through a messy, fearless, exploratory process of building up layers, scraping back, reworking and drawing in to.

Ceramics

My work is a combination of wheel thrown porcelain, press moulded Raku functional and decorative wall plates. The subject of the decoration is taken from my observational line drawings in nature and applied in decal form. More recently I have been adding colour and printing onto the surface using the clay as canvas.

Wood Engravings & Sculpture

I live and work in my native Sussex and am infused with the beauty and romance of this small corner of our country. I am constantly inspired by the world around me. To be able to engage in the landscape through my engravings deepens my appreciation and love of the world I am lucky enough to inhabit.

Wood Engraving has become a much cherished outlet for me. I fell in love with the medium even before I knew what it was. Leslie Benenson's work illustrating "Rudyard Kipling- A Sussex Anthology" was my first encounter. And a chance meeting with the accomplished, engraver Sybella Styles led me to classes with Diana Bloomfield.

Wood engraving is one of the simplest and most exquisite forms of printmaking. The print is made by engraving the reversed design into the mirror-smooth surface of a block of end grain box wood.
