Paul and Taz Jowett
Paul & Taz are both Falmouth based artists working in two different mediums Paul is a woodturner on The Register of Professional Woodturners and a member of the Made in Cornwall scheme Working with mostly locally sourced native timbers to create one off pieces. Inspiration comes from seeing the grain in the timber and using it to its best effect, also from ancient and modern ceramics. Taz graduated from Falmouth college of Art in 1996 with a BA(hons) in Illustration Since leaving college she took a great interest in all aspects of ancient art, from cave paintings to ceramics, native masks to stone carvings. With a varied selection of painting styles on paper and canvas, she uses acrylics, gouache, natural pigment emulsions and mixed media.

'Tandem'
‘TANDEM' - an art exhibition by Aimee and Jennie Jewitt-Harris, exploring life, colour, memory and scale. Aimee studied Illustration at Falmouth, and combines her artistic practice with ceramics. Jennie studied Fine Art at UCA and was selected for the 2018 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. This exhibition is the culmination of works made together, using their different experiences to create and respond to each other on the canvas, resulting in a dialogue of colour imagery, and ideas. Jennie and Aimee will typically each start a painting and then swap their canvases, having no say or influence on what the other will add. Preview evening open to all on Tuesday 30th July 6-8pm.
