Vicky Oldfield and Wendy Van Dort

Vicky Oldfield Artist/Printmaker

Open studios is a good opportunity to view and purchase current and archive work, to contemplate commissions, discuss printmaking and all things to do with making art.  I have lots of cards as well as artworks and some studio bargains all exhibited in an airy purpose built studio.

After leaving school, I attended Art College and then worked as a commercial designer in wallpaper and textiles in both London and Paris before becoming a full time artist in 2008.

As well as creating original collections for art galleries all over the Uk, I have had work selected exhibited for many major shows including the Royal Academy Summer exhibition, The Royal Society of British Artists and The Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers.

Wendy Van Dort Ceramic Artist

I have been working with ceramics for about 35 years.

I use many different techniques, various types of hand building methods….coiling, slab building, throwing on the wheel including large and small bowls, plates, dishes, mugs etc

Most of my pieces are made with stoneware clay and I use slips and different glazes for decorating which are fired in my electric kiln in my studio in Esher.….

I have enjoyed exhibiting my work and selling from various venues locally including from my own studio.

I taught ceramics at an Independent Pre-Preparatory School for boys aged 7 to 13 year olds.
