Landscape Photography by CHARLIE WAITE

Charlie Waite is now widely revered internationally as the doyen of English landscape photographers. His distinctive style combining graphic finesse with an almost spiritual quality of calm and serenity is immediately recognisable.

With his legendary evangelical approach to the art, he has played a pivotal role in promoting the current worldwide renaissance of Landscape photography.

Japanese Pottery by YO THOM

After a degree in English Language, Yo came to Britain and started 3D design course at Kent Institute of Art and Design. During her introductory course, she was hooked in Ceramics and decided to take BA in Ceramics. She also started assisting a British Studio Potter, Lisa Hammond whilst at college, and carried on as a full-time apprentice after obtaining MA.

She established her own studio in London in 2004 producing hand thrown functional stoneware and porcelain with Carbon-trapped Shino Glaze and Blue Celadon glaze.

Now she is in the process of establishing a new pottery near Shaftesbury. She is hoping to develop new work in this new environment surrounded by picturesque British countryside, which would be an unique marriage of British and Japanese elements.
