Nicole invited artists participating in Harrow Open Studio to contribute a leaf to her creativi-tree. Each member was sent a blank porcelain leaf and invited to decorate it using their preferred method before sending the newly dressed leaf back to Nicole.
The tree has been installed at Harrow Arts Centre where you can see it in the flesh.
You can see it growing in this video https://youtu.be/p5KmCo7y1ko
Have a look at NL Ceramic’s open dates here to plan a visit.

Inspired by Music, I paint life.
Music is a universal medium, connecting to the hearts of humanity, free from the bounds of language, culture and creed. It has an extraordinary power to soothe, heal and regale.
Music is close to my heart. I enjoy painting with music playing in the background. Gradually, the influence of music grew on me and I took to painting music itself.
I developed a visual grammar and syntax for depicting music on canvas. And started singing my own melodies through colours.
The essence of music appears on my canvas, utilising harmonious mixtures of colours representing tonal harmony, wave motion – the rhythm, and the progression – the eventual merging of the notes into the infinity of time and space.
Over the years, I realized that the rhythms are not unique to music- one finds them in entire universe. That set me out on an extended trip of exploration in nature, in life and even in human emotions!
That explains my art.
I hope my art spreads lasting message of harmony, peace and positivity to my audience and to humanity in general.
To buy my art please contact me on email or whatsapp.

While we were not able to create a group exhibition in a public space this year, we created an online exhibition to celebrate the diversity of artists and their work who are members of Harrow Open Studios.
Many of the pieces were for sale. It was a new experience for all of us. While we would always prefer to meet in person and share our work, it was good to find a way to stay in touch.

Riecha has observed and experimented with different art forms but her first and foremost enduring artistic joy is the most tactile of all: clay! She uses a melange of wheel thrown and hand building techniques in her pieces.

As a watercolourist I have shown my work with the Royal Society of Marine Artists for many years and I have been a member of the Society of Women Artists since 2000.
My inspiration comes from the outside world, usually the coast of Cornwall but more often than not a picture from my sketchbook. I have always enjoyed painting with watercolour, but recently I have moved into acrylics including mixed media.
Collage is a favourite and though it takes more time it brings another dimension to my work.
My contact is rodandmary@blueyonder.co.u

To see more of Sian’s work have a look at her Harrow Open Studios’ page here, and for further information please contact Sian on sianfenwick@hotmail.com
Sian Fenwick is a mixed media, fabric, paper and community artist.
I am inspired by vintage suitcases overflowing with memories, keepsakes and heirlooms. Sewing boxes filled to the brim with old haberdashery, albums of sepia photographs and a nostalgic childhood of nursery rhymes and storybooks.
Sian is interested in the way that small fragments of lace, colour or image can evoke nostalgic memories. By visiting antique fairs and junk shops to collect her treasures she gathers inspirations from the intriguing discarded fragments that offer a secret past.
I stitch, collage and journal using my vintage haberdasheries and nostalgic ephemera. I add my own narrative to the collection of precious finds by collaging in distressed layers suggesting passing time. My artwork is thread painted with machine or handstitched often giving it a painterly like quality.
Sian gained a BA (Hons) from the University of Hertfordshire she exhibits and sells her artwork locally and overseas. Artist in Residence at the Watford Grammar School for Girls for eight years she now teaches for various community groups including the Embroiderers Guild, Mencap, ASCEND Charity UK and Three Rivers District Council. Sian also conducts workshops via Zoom, at artist retreats and from her home studio.
