Andrzej Pacak
Exhibiting Artist
Andrzej Pacak is one of the most accomplished jewellery artists from Poland. His very bold, sculptural pieces combine silver or gold with semi-precious and amber stones, creating wearable works of art that balance technical mastery with sensitivity. Graduated as a veterinary surgeon, he started his artistic education in 1970 in Warsaw, at the studio of a well-known sculptor Miroslawa Miller. Since 1991 he has lived and worked in London, where he co-founded MAGAN Gallery. Over more than four decades, his jewellery has been presented in exhibitions and shows across the UK, Poland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Russia and Lithuania, as well as in other countries, gaining recognition for its originality and craftsmanship.

Angela Thwaites
Exhibiting Artist
Growing up in a household of make and mend, always drawing, making and growing things, Angela went on to study ceramics and then glass in UK, USA and former Czechoslovakia.
Exhibiting internationally, writing, teaching and continuously researching and experimenting Angela has become well known and her work is in museum and private collections across three continents.
Ideas and starting points for artworks arrive from everyday things and experiences, very often from nature, quirky, sometimes humorous sometimes deep.
Based in Croydon Angela works and teaches from her garden studio.
Justine Storey
Exhibiting Artist
Her paintings are a spontaneous expression of colour and movement. She loves working on large canvases that she can move freely, allowing light and vibrancy to emerge. Born in Sheffield, the Steel City, she later moved to London to study at Camberwell Art School, eventually completing a Fine Art degree at Chelsea School of Art. She is especially drawn to the sea lines of Cornwall – their raw beauty at night – and the quiet stillness of East Suffolk. Her anchor is the gift of life itself and the freedom to paint.
Ruty Benjamini
Exhibiting Artist
Ruty Benjamini studied Ceramics at Camberwell College of Art, London, travelled in Europe and India, and has lived in South Italy for 5 years. Ruty has exhibited her artwork in UK, Europe and Israel, and participated in international ceramic Symposiums in Israel, Poland and Belarus. She makes one-off and family groups of sculptural vessels, nude female figurines, and wall pieces. Her artwork is inspired by the human body, natural forms and textures, weathered and effaced surfaces, and ancient ceramic and glass.
Andrzej Maria Borkowski
Exhibiting Artist
An artist, performer and art critic born in Warsaw. He studied art history and fine art printmaking in Poland and the UK. His practice focuses on drawing, printmaking (monotypes and screen prints), photography and traditional reverse glass painting. His work has also included installations, theatre set design and street graffiti, with a small publication of his graffiti held in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum. He is a member of the Association of Polish Artists (APA).
