David Winkley
David makes an extensive range of pots you can use: ovenware, tableware and kitchenware. All hand-thrown and hand-decorated, and fired on-site, these are durable, timeless ceramics for everyday use.
David studied Fine Art at Reading University and as a postgraduate at Pembroke College Cambridge, vaguely intending a career in academia. But while working at Dartington in 1963 he watched a pot being made and asked to have a go. He's been going ever since.
His first workshop was in Hotwells, Bristol and he has now been established in West Somerset for more than 50 years.
Sibylle Wex
Sibylle's work is about colour and of our time.
She makes individual silk scarves and bow ties and much else, painting her own designs directly onto the fabric. She has recently started to make jewellery - often combining silver with African trade beads.
She studied textile design for four years in Germany at the Fachhochschule in Bielefeld which led initially to a short career in industrial fabric design, staying only just long enough to realise that owning the entire design and making process was preferable for a satisfactory career.
