“I make sculptures and drawings inspired by the colour, movement and diverse quirkiness of the sea’s fragile gardens. My practice is centred around the tactile process of manipulating and stitching into a variety of media; juxtaposing contrasting textures.”

Contact details are available in the bio: @not_enough_yellow or Samantha-harvey.com.

I also run stitching and mentoring workshops, primarily for children and young people: @stitch.sam or www.stitch.club

I create British botanical jewellery and keepsakes which originated from my children picking flowers from the garden and wanting to encapsulate the moment in something beautiful to wear. I use my own collection of flowers to create one-off pieces and take my clients special items, to create their own keepsakes, to save their memories in wearable pieces.

Growing up in rural Leicestershire, I was taught by my gran how to grow flowers. Now living in London, I have taken my small plot and turned it into a flower haven where many of my pieces start from seed. Throughout the year, I pick and dry my flowers which I then arrange in glass spheres with cocktail sticks and tweezers before sealing them from the elements in either silver or gold.

Recent work using photographic prints (cyanotype) on paper or fabric. I’m also using gold leaf with painted inks or watercolours and incised lines and cut out collaged elements. I’ve been studying maps of North Wales where my family are from and these topographic elements feature in this work.

Hello I am N L Ceramics, it stands for: Nicole Lyster making pots 😊  I work in my tiny garden studio in Harrow creating all things made of clay.  I like my ceramics to be fun whether they are functional or sculptural, and I like them to have a story associated with their creation.  It might be an educational story about how I make and glaze them, a social story about why they came into existence, or a psychological story about how their creation helps me process the events that affect my life.  You can find more about me and my work on my Instagram page @nlceramics and through my website www.nlceramics.org
