Hello we are "Weston Arts & Crafts" a collaboration of Artist and Woodworker.
Louise Angus
Jon Townsin
Living in the same village based in rural West Berkshire, we have joined forces to showcase our work at one venue, at nearby Leverton.
Below gives a brief explanation of each artist/woodworker:
Louise Angus, Artist and Creative Designer of LillyPea Designs.
A creative watercolourist generally incorporating scenes of nature, animals, marine life and flowers.
I have a loose and vivid approach to my artwork, my aim is to give that feeling of mystical, magical awe, similar to that emotion and excited tingle you had when you were told as a child, “There are fairies at the bottom of the garden!”
Jon Townsin, Furniture Maker
Matching contrasting woods and allowing the grain to speak for itself are among my favourite approaches. Using inlay work and steam bending to add interest allows me to create singular pieces that combine form and function. I don't always know what I'll make until I've made it and embrace accident and mishap as creative catalysts!
