Yuliya Podolska Yuliya grew up in Kiev as the USSR was coming to an end and Ukraine was emerging as an independent state. As a child Yuliya was obsessed with drawing and this obsession won her a place at one of the USSR's top schools of art, The Kiev Academy of Fine Art, where she studied for six years. Yuliya focussed on the art of classical and renaissance statuary throughout her studies and now produces sculptural works in a variety of media. |

Susan Prince - Textile Artist Loving the colour, texture and tactile experience of textiles, I use different crafts to make both useful and decorative objects. I now use feltmaking, embroidery, beadwork, patchwork, quilting and applique in my work and strive for beauty and good craftmanship. The studio has been a belated but very welcome opportunity for me to, at last, do what I have always wanted to do. |
