Aunty Social returns to the Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair
We’re heading to the Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair at Victoria Baths in Manchester from 17-20 October 2024 to tell craft lovers All about aunty social and to showcase 3 Fylde Coast artists.
Meet the Artists
There’s a wealth of creative talent on the Fylde Coast and we’re proud to introduce you to three artists who take inspiration from our remarkable environment.
Sandgrown artist and illustrator Sarah Pugsley, aka Coxyart, discovered digital art during lockdown. Her work aims to bring joy to tourists and locals, promoting the unique charm of her beloved hometown of Blackpool. Through her colourful and vibrant pieces, Sarah hopes to inspire appreciation for the area’s cultural and historical richness. Sarah works with multiple mediums, including textiles, riso, acrylic and print to build a bold range of prints and decorative accessories for the home.
Based in Hambleton, Simon Iredale is a photographer and abstract artist with a passion for the power of now, and the logic that we only have this very moment. Simon works with photography and painting to document the memory of a past that no longer exists and to manifest the future of what we believe will happen. He uses art to capture the feelings, the colours and emotions of these concepts to create abstract impressions. Much of Simon’s work is reflective of his long career in creative direction and working in the music industry and taking influence from his surroundings to form large-scale, mixed media compositions of a Blackpool often not seen.
Chelsea Ladish is a ceramic artist who specialises in playful, striking hand-built pieces. As well as being an accomplished tattoo artist, she runs a pottery space that hosts a variety of workshops and supports a number of local creatives to run activities with the local community.
