CERAMICS  PHOTOGRAPHY  JEWELLERY  DRAWING  ECO-TEXTILES

With a broad range of interdisciplinary skills and many years of teaching experience between them, Alison Shelton Brown and Robin Shelton are able to offer you a holistic, traditional and multi-disciplinary approach with a focus on the promotion of skill as well as ideas.

Robin has recently finished building his Dark Room for analogue processing of film but is also passionate about research into environmental photographic techniques, such as salt prints, chromatographs, or phytoprints. He trained as a jeweller in the 90s at Loughborough, and specialises in repurposing found objects for use in original rings, bracelets and neckpieces.

Alison is an artist who loves using a variety of materials such as clay and textiles, but also treasures the chance to reuse and recycle found bits and stuff whenever possible. She studied ceramics at Camberwell School of Art in the early 80s with some amazing tutors, and recently completed an MA at Bath School of Art. She's also great at making cakes!

Group sizes for courses will be limited, with social distancing measures in place.

The studios are situated in a beautiful green leafy valley on the Devon / Dorset border, close to both the A35 and A303/30 near Honiton, not far from Lyme Regis and the beautiful Jurassic Coast. They are part of a complete eco-renovation project which also includes an old Methodist chapel.
