My professional background has been in educational management and project management in a UK and European context. I am now retired and taking the opportunity to make a contribution to community participation in the visual arts through my involvement with the Marches Makers Festival.

As a member of the Festival Committee Team, I am organising workshops (and leading a willow sculpture workshop) as well as generally getting involved with various aspects of the Festival.  I am liaising with the Rev.

​Clare Conrad - Exhibition Curator and Displays
​

I am a ceramicist. I gained BA (hons) at UWE In 1987 and have exhibited widely since then. I moved to Kington in 2017 and was delighted to find so many artists working in the area. When Marches Makers invited me to join the committee to help with display, I was pleased to be a part of the group.

Isobel Hutton - Coordinator for the Old Police Station
​

I have co-ordinated exhibitions at The Old Police Station for several years and have always enjoyed this venue.  I used to work for the Health Service but have always painted throughout my career and was able to focus on different art forms after I retired. Oil on canvas remains my favourite medium.  ​I also enjoy printmaking.  More info and contact details here.

Kathryn Moore - Co-Coordinator for the Market Hall 

​As a new arrival to Kington, I am delighted to be part of a most proactive team of artists and makers celebrating the wealth of creativity in the area. I am a landscape painter working in mixed media, and also work in spinning and weaving. My role within the Marches Makers Festival is to assist organising demonstrations and workshops in the market hall and other venues in Kington.

Helen Smith - Web Site and Social Media

​Having spent many years as a software tester and technical author, writing help systems and computer manuals, I now like to create and maintain websites just for fun!  Time away from the computer is when I play with textiles and my biggest love at the moment is tapestry weaving…
