Sue Elderfield at the Henfield Hall
Sue has been making mosaics as a hobby for nearly four years now - she joined a class run by Alicen Haire of Mindful Mosaics in Brighton. The group members have become firm friends, and still meet every week. Sue is also a very keen gardener and loves colour so the idea of garden mosaics was sown during winter when the garden needed cheering up. It took her two winters to work out which weatherproofing worked and she is now sure she has got it right ! Some mosiacs in her garden stilll look like new after having been outside all winter. The designs are done on a wooden backing with hooks attached so they can be easily relocated.

Maggie Knight at the Henfield Hall
Maggie's passion is oil painting, although she may incorporate acrylic and collage. She loves the freedom of oil, the canvas, the brush, the knife and the mess! Each new painting poses a fresh challenge, observation and interpretation, colour and technique, success or failure! She likes to think that her appreciation of impressionism comes through in the execution of her paintings – always striving!

Since then he has done landscapes, flowers, buildings, and aircraft - he used to fly jets in the Royal Navy. He must be getting to around a hundred, many of which he is quite pleased with.

Having spent most of his leisure time making aviation films, he has concentrated recently on painting. Richard works almost exclusively from photographs in his office/studio.

All his sculptures are handmade on the sunny south coast crafted by Paul himself! Saturday and Sunday. |
