Michelle Watson is a Suffolk-based figurative pain Michelle Watson is a Suffolk-based figurative painter whose work explores the modern female experience with power and sensitivity. In her paintings, reality and abstraction sit side by side. Classical figuration meets contemporary mark-making, and subtle brushstrokes shape isolated female forms that feel both strong and vulnerable. Her work captures beauty, emotion and the hidden pressures carried through past, present and future. Michelle’s thoughtful approach has led to solo exhibitions and group shows across the country, with her pieces held in private collections in the UK and abroad. Discover more talented Suffolk artists like Michelle through Suffolk Open Studios. And if you are looking for a festive creative outing, the Christmas at Clare exhibition is now open at The Old Goods Shed in Clare. #SuffolkOpenStudios #SuffolkArtists #SupportLocalArt
Fine and sterling silver jewellery artist Helen Wa Fine and sterling silver jewellery artist Helen Wallace brings the beauty of the natural world into every piece she creates. Working with both traditional silversmithing and recycled fine silver clay, she captures the delicate textures of seed heads, petals and organic forms, transforming them into pure silver details that feel both timeless and contemporary. Helen’s philosophy centres on working sustainably, using eco and recycled precious metals and ethically sourced gemstones wherever possible. Her work is thoughtful, tactile and deeply rooted in the landscapes that inspire her. You can discover Suffolk artists like Helen throughout the Christmas at Clare exhibition, now open at The Old Goods Shed in Clare. It’s the perfect place to explore local creativity and find something meaningful this festive season. #SuffolkOpenStudios #SuffolkArtists #ChristmasAtClare

Nick moves between clay and ink, letting each discipline influence the other. His ceramic pieces are decorated with a printmaker’s eye, using embossed patterns and colourful glazes to create contrast and personality. From mugs and bowls to tiles, dishes and quirky little creatures, his work is designed to make people smile. Alongside his ceramics, Nick creates bold, graphic linoprints and cards, carved and layered to form strong, simple imagery with real impact.
