47 Twelve at Number 12 Exhibition at Baxters T


his May, Baxters is launching a new exhibition featuring 12 artists and


makers 10 of whom are new to the gallery. There is a mix of paintings, screenprints, ceramics, glass, sculpture and 3D printing in the show so it will be a really interesting mix of techniques.


Heather Howe and Lucy Davies are artists who show in Baxters year-round but have both created new collections based on views from walks along the coast path and in Gallants Bower. They have very different styles but are equally collected by Baxters customers who are excited to see the new paintings. Lindsay Madden paints images of children on vintage rulers and book covers which makes us explore our memory archives and apply our own narratives. Her work brings interest and energy to any space and is much admired. Anna Marrow makes surprising, sometimes humorous screen prints pin pointing a specific moment in time. She is often drawn to objects from her childhood such as 70s televisions, radios and cars which all feature heavily in her work, as do divers and synchronised swimmers. Anna Noel’s sculptures tread a


delicate line between folk art and modernity; she has a particular sensibility that can include humour and solemnity. She is interested in the special relationship we have with animals and the way


the animal form can express emotions, character and illuminate our thinking and our place in the world. Ceramics have been in Jon Barrett-Danes’ family for at least five generations. A sense of humour and a keen observation of nature is the driving force behind his figurative sculpture. Cat Santos trained in printmaking and has used this skill to transfer images onto ceramic vessels and plates. She explores various techniques using slips, oxides and underglazes on a variety of clays. She also creates sculptures which capture moments of the wonder it is to live on this earth. Ceri White produces a


confectionery of richly patterned, contemporary ceramics for the home. She specialises in hand-


thrown planters, along-side which she has developed a range of similarly-styled interior accessories. Devon ceramicist Helen Harrison makes porcelain jugs, mugs, dishes and vases in wonderfully joyous colours with surfaces treated with layered oxides, decals, slips and imprints, making each piece unique. Caroline Nash’s work is designed to be fun and often functional, with a quirky style and vintage feel. She became a beekeeper recently and that has inspired her latest collection using underglaze printing, collaging, textured papers, decals and even her Grandma’s old buttons. Emmy Palmer graduated from


Plymouth College of Art and specialised in glass. She combines her other great love of knitting with some of her work where it is inlaid in the glass. She still lives in Plymouth where she is inspired by the sea and the moors. Finally Keeley Traae is a fascinating maker who is exploring digital craft through 3D printing in biodegradable materials made from 100% renewable and natural resources. Her work expresses her love of form, textural surfaces, and colour. The exhibition will launch at 6pm on Friday 24th online from the 25th
