SUE LUGER - DIPSYCHICKS - TEXTILES
Sue Luger is the founder of the DipsyChicks label a name inspired by her 6 batty
hens. She is a multi disciplinary artist whose background is in drawing
& applied art. A former printmaker she now concentrates on textile and craft
work. She has a love of the natural world, which is the inspiration for her
range of hand crafted birds (little tweets) and rabbits - she never knows how
they will turn out until they are finished! Her range of machine drawn stitched
cushions are inspired by the quirky, the overheard and the absurd.

DEREK ADAMS - HANDCRAFTED LEATHERWORK
Derek has been making items in leather for over 20 years, handcrafted with traditional hand tools and hand sewn. Sewing by hand takes longer but the advantage is that it isn’t entirely
uniform and so adds character.
I work to a number of set designs, but as each item is individually made they
can be varied to meet your particular needs
