Meet the artists
Seven artists and makers are looking forward to welcoming you to Colyton. Our venue will be stuffed to the rafters with gorgeous art and craftwork, and it’s the place to be in 2025.
This year’s crew comprises Alex Boon, Anna Brewster, Naomi Brookes Designs, Zee Jones, Jane Llewellyn, Bryony Lamb and Bud Hodson.
Nature art and journaling, expressive land and seascapes, feltmaking, ceramics, fused glass, silver clay jewellery and collage - there’s something for everyone here. Don’t want to miss out?
