Renate Wilbraham
Textile and Stitch Artist
I am a Sussex-based stitch artist with a farm-based studio on the
Sussex and
Surrey border.
Mark making with thread has been fundamental to my art since my teenage years. Both free machine and hand embroidery are central to my work. Colour, and the lack of it, play vital roles. My machine embroidery is often monochromatic; I am very drawn to the black line of cotton thread on plain canvas although at times, if the subject matter calls for it, I will introduce colour. On the other hand, my hand embroidery explodes with colour and texture.
I am inspired by the wider environment and of that around me; from the back garden, local surroundings, photographs and images from around the world. A City and Guilds embroidery course led to Reigate School of Art and Fine Art courses, still using my embroidery skills.
Art Groups / Exhibitions
I was invited to join the ShedArt artist cooperative and have been a member ever since, exhibiting in many venues throughout Surrey and Sussex. Being amongst many painters, I have been enticed by the medium and found it to be a pleasant alternative.
I am also a member of an East Grinstead-based art group, Example, which has undertaken two Arts Council funded exhibitions within the local community.

Samantha Tuffnell
Eastbourne, East Sussex
Graphic Designer, Artist and Art Tutor
Ink and Bleach, Watercolour, Mixed Media
I am a local artist, based in Eastbourne – art has always been an intrinsic part of my life. I originally went to Eastbourne Art College, to study Graphic Design. I completed my studies at degree level and continue to have a successful commercial career.
Over the last few years, I’ve made time to enjoy experimenting more with different media and discovered ink and bleach. I love the energy and unpredictability of using two colours of ink and achieving many more when the bleach works its magic! I sometimes like to include black fine liner and gold acrylic details when I need more detail or highlights. I find constant inspiration from my surrounding views of the South Downs and local coastline.
Exhibitions
I regularly sell my work in a couple of local galleries and over the last 6 years, I have exhibited in various art fairs. I am enjoying exploring the medium of ink and bleach and I am excited about where it will take me next...
