The graceful lines and elegance of expression in this  beautiful study is typical of Angela’s work as she explores the inherent beauty and sensuality of the female form. Drawing on classical figurative sculpture, Angela incorporates a more modern style to create an emotive piece that invites the observer to pause and look beyond the surface. 

Margarets Creatures Collection has developed over 20+ years. From travelling around the UK, she has spent a lot of time watching wildlife in moors, mountains, estates and fields in their natural habitats. She has created 'Hare at Dusk' from observing many hares in an evening, bouncing across fields and with its nose in the air. 

Tapestry double cloth. Cotton. (Original Artwork)

The original jacquard woven tapestry is a double cloth. The weaving has cotton yarns in the warp and weft.

Care Instructions 

All Artwork is best preserved if care is taken to ensure they are correctly stored and displayed.

Storage

When tapestries are not hanging it is best to roll the tapestry with a core support. Use acid free paper and protect by covering with an inert material such as polyethylene Tyvek®.

If creases do appear in the textile during storage, then the tapestry can be carefully ironed on the reverse side using a low heat and a protective material between the iron and the textile surface.

Hanging

Avoid hanging the artwork in direct sunlight.

Cleaning

The safest way to clean the tapestry is by vacuuming. Use the hoover nozzle and hold the nozzle 5 - 10cm above the textile to reduce the suction pressure. To prevent scuffing or pulling loose threads, cover the nozzle itself with muslin, fine net or stocking, which can be held on with an elastic band.

If the tapestry requires further cleaning, then wet cleaning or solvent cleaning should be undertaken by a professional.

A ceramic sculpture epitomising the simplicity of form and textural elements typical of Wendy Lawrence’s work.                  

The herringbone pattern is carved with hand tools to echo the striations found in rock and ancient stone edifices,  becoming part of the form as well as the surface of the piece. 

Inspired by ancient stone circles this piece generates a sense of solidity and continuity, connecting us with our heritage and spiritual landscape.

The works are high fired and are suitable for any interior or exterior spaces.

The bowl has become an important vehicle for me to express stored thoughts, writing and feelings. It contains, cups, gives a sense of gentle containment in a changing world. It is a quiet archive of thoughts, stories and metaphors that can move from one form to another.  

One of a series, this bowl speaks of movement, absence and rhythms. The insides are inscribed with fine lines and have a matt, abraded surface; the outsides are a beautiful, rich, glassy black.
