Elena Gomez de Valcarcel
Elena's work revolves around the emotional link formed through interaction with a product, and tries to create the perfect balance between function and appearance.Her work is specifically aimed at children: she believes that creating ceramic products for children will provide them with items that they can learn from, play with and take care of whilst breeding familiarity with a material often conspicuously absent from children's product design.

His abstract sculptural works are the artistic reflections of his surrounding urban environment as well as the natural environment which he frequently visits. As a passionate rock climber he is particularly fascinated by the different qualities of the rock surfaces and this source of inspiration is what he also claims for his abstract way of expressing his art.Julia Smith
Julia’s work communicates her interest in juxtapositions and metaphor, of form and material personalities, whether harmonious or discordant, and finds her inspiration in nature’s architecture and formations, such as crystals, fossils and rock strata; a record of ‘experience’, a material history.Karl Favell
Karl's objective is to produce well-designed and well-made products for people to enjoy every day without compromising on either design or creative concept. His inspiration comes from the natural worlds' beauty, fragility and vitality and how we as a species have a responsibility to care for our environment rather than contributing to its destruction.Kirsty-Marie Williams

She has a strong research methodology, attending tradeshows, exhibitions, and visiting retailers to identify trends that inspire her surface designs.
