Melanie is a professional sculptor based in Somerset. She uses wire as a way of form, drawing the shape in the air before developing the sculpture further perhaps with layers of resin or plaster and other materials almost as if adding muscle and soft tissue to the piece.
We all need brushing up on our painting skills from time to time, or, if you have never tried oil paints before, Alex will take you through the basics.
Sarah is an exceptionally creative Mixed Media artist from Somerset who is passionate about her work and has won many awards, in particular the “Landscape Award” at Bruton Art Society’s recent Annual Exhibition.
