    MEET THE MAKERS

    Our Resident Artisans

    Here is a list of the talented artists who currently work from our studios. Each brings their own unique practice, perspective, and creative energy to the space — together they form the vibrant heart of our artistic community.

    Philomena Thompson-Smyth
    Sculptor, Heptonstall
    Philomena is a classically trained sculptor based in the historic village of Heptonstall. Known for her refined, quietly powerful busts and figurative works, Philomena blends traditional craftsmanship with a distinctively modern sensibility. A graduate of the Glasgow School of Art, she has exhibited across the UK and Europe, with work held in several private and public collections. Drawing inspiration from mythology, memory, and the Yorkshire landscape, her sculptures explore form, emotion, and resilience — often rendered in marble, bronze, or cast stone. Philomena serves as a mentor to emerging artists and is a passionate advocate for the preservation of regional craft traditions.

    Tom Smith
    Painter, Mytholmroyd
    Tom Smith is a painter whose work captures the shifting moods of the Northern landscape with quiet intensity and emotional depth. Based in the small town of Mytholmroyd, Tom draws inspiration from the moors, mills, and mist that surround him — translating them into brooding, atmospheric canvases that blur the line between realism and abstraction. Working primarily in oils and mixed media, Tom’s palette often reflects the subdued tones of the Yorkshire countryside: slate greys, mossy greens, and muted ochres. His process is slow and considered, often layering paint, texture, and memory to create works that feel weathered yet timeless. After studying Fine Art in Manchester, Tom returned to his hometown to reconnect with the landscapes that shaped his early life. Since then, he’s exhibited across the North of England and completed several public art commissions, including a mural series along the Rochdale Canal.

    Denise Sanderson
    Textile Designer, Hebden Bridge
    Based in the creative hub of Hebden Bridge, Denise Sanderson is a textile designer whose work celebrates colour, pattern, and narrative through fabric. From hand-printed linens to experimental woven structures, her pieces draw inspiration from folklore, domestic heritage, and the shifting textures of the Pennine landscape. Denise currently works from the studio in the station building, where she creates both functional textiles and exhibition pieces. With a background in surface design and sustainable materials, she combines traditional techniques with contemporary processes, often using natural dyes and repurposed fibres. She has collaborated with local makers, exhibited regionally, and continues to explore the intersections of craft, place, and storytelling through cloth.

    Harriet Lowe
    Woodworker, Todmorden
    Harriet Lowe is a skilled artisan woodworker based in the hillside town of Todmorden. With a background in cabinetmaking and a love for hand tools, her work is rooted in slow, sustainable craft. Harriet creates finely crafted pieces that range from elegant homeware to bespoke furniture, all shaped with care and intention. Her practice celebrates British hardwoods and traditional joinery, often incorporating subtle hand-carved details. Working from her compact studio workshop in the Calder Valley, Harriet takes inspiration from the rhythm of rural life and the textures of the woodland landscape. She is also involved in local tool-sharing initiatives and mentors young makers exploring environmentally conscious craftsmanship.

    Callum Reid
    Ceramicist, Slaithwaite
    Callum Reid is a contemporary ceramicist from Slaithwaite. Known for his quiet, tactile vessels and atmospheric glazes, Callum’s work explores the intersection between landscape, utility, and memory. His forms are simple yet intentional — designed to be held, used, and lived with. After studying Fine Art in Leeds, he trained in traditional pottery techniques before developing a more experimental style influenced by Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetics and the rugged geology of the Pennines. Each piece is wood- or gas-fired, giving it a subtle unpredictability that reflects the natural environment he draws from. Callum exhibits regularly at craft fairs and design showcases, and his work is held in private collections throughout the UK. He also leads occasional wheel-throwing workshops at local community spaces.
