84 Abigail Lagden (Curiously Contrary)
Art forms: Mixed Media 3D, Textiles
Welcome to my wonderful, whimsical world, where I create fun pieces using hardened fabrics, a childlike imagination and a sprinkle of magic.
Due to the processes and materials used, every piece is unique and designed to bring a smile to your face. I work with natural fibre fabrics, many being repurposed from clothing, to I create highly textured designs. The textures and other embellishments are then further enhanced using rich colours and shading.
I will be present at the studio on the dates shown and whilst there I will be working on new pieces and offering visitors the opportunity to get hands on.
As well as making my curious creations, I also offer workshops for groups. Please come and chat, or get in touch to find out more about these.

86 Maria Ipliktsiadou (IPLI Design)
Art forms: Drawing, Illustration, Mixed Media 2D, Painting
Originally from Greece, I am a graphic designer, self-taught illustrator, artist and crafter.
I have had four private exhibitions (Athens 2009, 2014, London 2023, 2024), and participated in numerous group exhibitions, graphic design competitions, and craft fairs.
As an artist I do not have a specific style. I change media often but watercolours and ink fine line pens are my favourites. I am mostly inspired by nature, but I also like urban themed illustrations. Drawing en plein air is my obsession. I consider those images as my way of keeping a diary of places I have visited and love.
Illustrations of mine have been published in several Greek books. I have self-published an illustrated book about the raw side of motherhood, presenting the difficult period in my journey as a mother, while I was trying to deal with postnatal depression and anxiety.
During the last five years I have specialized in illustrating poetry.
