Artists Around Wetherby Open Studios - Jackey Brown

Jackey is one of 27 people taking part in this annual event in and around Wetherby.  

Jackey is exhibiting her work in Walton Village Hall, along with 4 other artists.  She finds the contrast of light and shade in landscapes exciting and wants to convey that to people who view her work.  As an alternative,  she will be working on Wildlife. Pastel and watercolour are her favourite mediums but she has tried her hand at most mediums.

Artists Around Wetherby Open Studios - Katy Small

Katy is one of 27 artists and makers taking part in this annual event.

Katy is primarily a felt artist. Her main focus is painting with wool fibres. She has developed her work in wet felting for several years. She also loves to work with other textile forms and acrylic painting. Her work is inspired by the local countryside, the changing seasons and the beauty of the moors, the coast and the teeniest tiny flower.

Katy works in her tiny workshop in her garden, near Wetherby. As it's so tiny, she will be exhibiting in Ailsa's Studio in Bardsey.
