        • Thomas PetitThomas Petit is a range of hand blown glass made and created solely by Thomas himself since 1992, working in London, New Zealand and now here in Derbyshire. His designs are influenced by his own photography, surrounding nature, and everyday sights and objects, “sometimes it is the happy accidents that create the best pieces”. Each unique piece depicts the coastal beach and seascapes with alternative skies shaped by the wind. No two pieces are the same. Collection only, local delivery by arrangement, contact the gallery or email me at jill@duffieldartgallery.co.uk
        • Jeremy SandersDelighted to welcome Cornish based artist Jeremy to the Duffield Art Gallry team of professional painters. Jeremy needs no introduction, born in 1969 he studied at the famous St. Martins School of Art, then went on to graduate from the University of the West Country with a first class honours degree. He was also a ‘Prince’s Trust’ gold medal winner. His work has been commissioned for various national adverts for Nat West, Tui , Saga, and Cunard. Jeremy paints outside, in situ, in oils, with broad, intense, rich colours that vibrate with energy and light. But don’t just believe me, come and see for yourself.
        • Nick WalkerManchester born Nick Walker is the newest artist to come on board, he divides his time between here and his second home in Brittany. He paints quickly and boldly in strong vibrant oils to capture the warmth and light. Possibly the happiest and sunniest pictures you’ll ever see.
        • Eddie HallamEddie Hallam is an active and passionate wildlife conservationist. His bronze sculptures are in high demand both nationally and internationally.  We at Duffield Gallery feel very privileged to be 1 of only 4 galleries in the UK to have Eddie’s  work permanently on display. Each bronze sculpture can take up to six weeks to sculpt, then it is moulded and cast in bronze, using the centuries old technique of “lost wax” casting each bronze is then “patinised” by Eddie to give its individual colour and finish. A patina can never be repeated, so even though the bronzes come in limited edition numbers, every single sculpture is unique.

        • Michael Groves
        • Stephen AdamsStephen Adams began work as an apprentice engineering toolmaker, and later qualified as an engineering design draughtsman in 1972. He completed his degree course in 1979 at Loughborough College of Art & Design, gaining a First-Class Honours degree in ceramics and 3D design. Much of his work is influenced by his previous engineering training, which has continued to develop using different materials and techniques. He uses a variety of ceramic materials, usually dependent on the scale or thermal qualities required. These include craft crank for large scale sculptures, T-material for raku, and porcelain for smaller pieces. His work is often completed and complimented using bolts, chains and mechanical fittings. His interest lies not with the practical element of ceramic forms, but with the sculptural. He is continuing to pursue the theme of mechanical forms and gathers stimulus from the rich industrial heritage of the Black Country, and from photographs taken of shipwrecks whilst scuba diving.

His inspiration comes from his passion for nature and adventure,  he spends hours studying how the light falls on the landscape to create a sense of mood and a “you just had to be there ” feeling in all his work. We’re delighted to welcome him to our team here at Duffield Art Gallery.
