After graduating from Leicester Polytechnic in 1978 with a B.A. Hons. in three dimensional design, Janie received a Turkish Government scholarship to study Turkish Ceramics. Based in Istanbul, she travelled widely developing her interest in the fascinating art and culture of this extraordinary country. On return, she worked as an Archaeological Draftsperson at Dover Museum in Kent, drawing their collection of Medieval and Roman pottery for records and reports.
Since moving to Devon, she has been working in stoneware, making sculptural pieces and hand 
built vessels. Janie sometimes smoke fires her pieces and finds the immediacy of this method exciting and stimulating. Her inspiration and interest centres around the female nude and the dramatic moorland and coastal landscapes of Devon and Cornwall. Her time spent in Turkey, with its extraordinary range of antique and contemporary ceramics, and at the museum in Dover have had an underlying influence on all her creative endeavours.
To see work by Janie Ramsay in more detail, have a look in our online gallery.
Emma West’s ceramics are part of the textiles exhibition, even though the finished work is in porcelain, because her subtle and sketch like wall panels start as embroidery.
Emma West established her ceramics studio in 2000. What was planned as a career break from her work as an archivist soon became a full time passion. Although the world of historical manuscripts is behind her a sense of heritage and historical continuity filters through her work. Emma’s style and approach to porcelain is sensitive, she has developed a creative technique focussing on surface texture and impression, using glazes to emphasize design.
The use of textiles in Emma’s work is a relatively new departure. An embroidery ‘image’ is hand stitched, quite loosely, allowing threads to fall freely and give a ‘sketch’ quality to the piece. The embroidered cloth is then impressed into the unfired porcelain.
At this stage various freehand marks are made in the clay altering each piece. Glazes are subsequently applied to reveal the imprint bringing the permanence of porcelain to the fragility of a stitch. Whilst the colour palette is not broad it is classic; gradations of blues, greens, greys and turquoise underpin the subtle detail of the surface line.
Today’s artist in the spotlight is Jane Price. Exactly four years ago, her work was our very first feature exhibition. At the time, Jane worked with inlaid papers and photo- and lucidagrams. Even though her work is mixed media, her first love was always textiles.
“45 Southside encourages experimentation which is an encouragement to an artist. This gallery has accepted and welcomed my diverse works in paper and textiles. My current brightly coloured abstracts have channelled an interest in saturated colour combi-nations; the works are like paintings but are also embroidered.”
“Being an artist involves developing new ideas, acquiring skills, responding to outside stimuli of time and place and implementing this acquisition of experience. Not repeating yourself is a challenge as it is a process of self discovery, but it is essential to keep studio practice vibrant. I believe in inclusion rather than exclusion and looking at drawing, painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, textiles, and papermaking are all enriching and interconnected disciplines! This cross fertilization is evident in the works I produce.”
Jane’s first year of art training was at Dartington College of Arts in 1967, followed by a Diploma in Art and Design in Textiles/Fashion at Camberwell School of Art 1968-1971. Jane lives and works from her studio in Exeter and has been a member of the Devon Guild of Craftsmen for 25 years where she frequently exhibits.
Some of Jane’s work is also available in the online shop and more will be added very soon.
