Exhibiting Artists

Some 85 galleries throughout the village will open their doors for a unique selling exhibition.

To find them, the brochure will show the galleries on the numbered map or you may prefer to wander the village (top and bottom) and take pot luck. In the meantime you can browse the alphabetical list artists and their work here.

Ailsa Nicholson

Ailsa is a fused glass and ceramic artist based just outside Whitby, North Yorkshire. Her work is largely inspired by the land and seascape of the local area, culminating in bold, abstract and tactile forms. Both her glass and ceramic work tend to be of a sculptural nature and incorporate a variety of throwing, casting and fusing techniques as well as working with the recycling of old discarded glass. Ailsa has a BA (hons) first class in ceramics from Cardiff University.

Venue: Cottage 4a Northside, Cowbar

Medium: Fused Glass & Ceramics
