This month we’re pleased to feature the work of Marc Potts. Living and working in an old thatched cottage on the edge of Dartmoor, Marc’s art is infused with the spirits of this wild place. It speaks of ancient creatures and hedgerow magic. Describing himself as ‘an avid devourer of all things folkloric’, Marc’s art and writing reflects this. He has contributed to numerous projects, including a jewellery range created in collaboration with his wife Kelly Martinez, and the Shared Legends project. Marc’s work is available as prints from his website. Please stop by the gallery to see more.

Award-winning miniaturist Penny Thompson is well known for her extraordinary figures and buildings created in 1/12th and 1/24th scale from Paper maché. Amongst the historical characters are found a host of faeries and fantasy folk including fauns and mermaids. Penny’s wonderfully wonky tree house is a firm favourite and her range of automata (a collaboration with Laurence St Ledger) are ingenious. The faeries’ wings flap up and down as the handle is turned, bringing the scene to life. Most of the automata and scenes are housed in glass domes making them wonderful display pieces, but my heart yearns for a tree house complete with faery family!
