I create textiles and prints to capture a sense of place and invite an immersion into the wild beauty of West Cornwall's landscape, flora and fauna; with its hidden woodlands, sweeping curves of moorland and coastlines where the Atlantic Ocean meets the skies. Situated inland from the coast, I work surrounded by meadows and woodlands. i gain a deep sense of place by revisiting the same locations to draw and paint from direct observation, exploring the colours and fauna as they change with the seasons and time of day. Back in my studio i create detailed botanical studies of the plants I've collected.

Hello! I'm Stacey, the face behind Fox Under The Moon... My 'Fox Under The Moon' artwork series is for all ages. It is inspired by the simplicity of everyday life, and the complicated emotions that go with it. Through my artwork you will meet an anxious, but inquisitive fox and the wise old moon. Along with their friends, I hope that their warm and whimsical world can bring some encouragement and love to yours.

Lisa Rennocks of Potting in Penryn produces stoneware ceramics in her garden studio in the historic town of Penryn, Cornwall. Most of Lisa's work is thrown on the wheel using locally processed clay from St Agnes.
Her work is both tactile and functional with a weathered aesthetic inspired by Cornwall's industrial coastal landscape. Each pot is simple in form but unique in how the glazes combine to generate its own identity.
Lisa produces a wide range of pots for everyday living as well as more sculptural pieces. Her deigns blend seamlessly with contemporary and traditional interiors.

Our slow made pieces are often made from local St. Agnes stoneware clay, many of the brush-heads I use I make from natural...
