Sue and daughter Claire Acworth welcome you to their exhibition of pastel paintings and handmade jewellery.

Sue has a life-long interest in the countryside to which many of her pictures are related. She captures the ebb and flow of the seasons with her colourful depictions of woodlands, animals and landscapes. Sue works with pastels on sandpaper and uses techniques that almost add a third dimension to her pictures.

Claire is a designer and maker of contemporary jewellery, working in silver and gold. Her work is organic and sculptural. She uses semi-precious stones as well as simple found objects such as pebbles or sea glass which are transformed into elegant new forms. She also breathes life into old unworn jewellery by using the original stones or gold to create a contemporary new design.
