I am currently having a merry old time creating in my brand new studio. After two and a half years away from ceramics I'm a bit rusty so my work for the Arts Trail is a mix of techniques relearned. So far I'm working on a collection of decorative porcelain vessels .

Jenny Swizzle (aka Jenny Szewiel) will be showing handpainted homewares and other colourful pieces on Sunday 20th May.

She will also be part of the Travelling Victorian Moustache Emporium, where the dapper gentleman, handsome woman or fashionable child can browse a substantial range of moustaches for every occasion.

Diverse activities and games will be on offer throughout the day, and savoury and sweet treats will be available for your delectation.

Born and raised in Bristol, where my love of photography began, I enjoy capturing images ranging from various fields including urban life, still life, landscape, architectural and portraiture.

I’ve had a passion for photography since childhood and find that it is a great medium for me to express my view on the world and the people within it.
