Award-winning potter Beverley Bell Hughes resides near Llandudno, North Wales. Her extraordinary vision is shaped by both sight and touch. As a partially sighted artist, she infuses her clay creations—both fired and unfired—with a profound connection to the rugged coastal landscape. Bev’s pieces evoke the raw beauty of our surroundings, echoing the crashing waves and ancient cliffs.
Born and raised in the slate quarry village of Bethesda, North Wales, Cefyn Burgess brings a rich heritage to his woven textiles. His journey—from Manchester with a BA (Hons) in Woven Textiles to an MA from the Royal College of Art—has honed his craft. Cefyn’s intricate designs resonate with the echoes of slate, weaving together tradition and innovation.
Paul Croft’s canvas is language itself. His work evolves from a personal visual lexicon—a synthesis of motifs drawn from observations, still life, and found objects. His ongoing exploration of letter forms, characters, and alphabets adds depth to his compositions. Recently, Paul’s curiosity led him to learn Mandarin, infusing his art with cross-cultural nuances.
This exhibition promises an immersive experience, where these talented artists converse through their creations. Don’t miss this opportunity to witness the dynamic dialogue between their works. Whether you’re an art enthusiast, collector, or simply curious, our exhibition awaits you.
