Blended Monkey

Wisbech

Blended Monkey was founded by husband and wife team, Simon and Louise Taggart, whose woodturning and pottery studios are based in a small village on the Norfolk/Cambridgeshire border, where the surroundings and changing seasons provide ample inspiration for some of the designs and ideas that can be found in their pieces. "Our Blended Monkey gardens provide ample inspiration for our work, and is the perfect setting for woodturning & pottery courses. Louise (ceramicist) - I studied at the Falmouth School of Art & Design and I am interested in various art forms, design and applied arts. Simon (woodturner) - I have been teaching woodturning for many years and I love working with wood & exploring its versatility." - Louise & Simon They offer half- and full-day 1-2-1 or pairs experiences, including their unique "2 Crafts in 1 Day" workshops where the students gets to explore woodturning in the morning and then pottery in the afternoon.  All workshops include refreshments; the full-day workshops also provide lunch - catering to all requirements and allergies.   Simon and Louise are keen supporters of and fundraisers for the Mind charity, and the past few years have seen Simon and Louise focus their efforts on offering creative therapy workshops to provide rehabilitation and therapy for people of all ages who are suffering with brain trauma, strokes, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. They are also increasingly seeing students who are coping with poor mental health (depression, anxiety, PTSD …) often resulting from stressful jobs which take their toll physically & psychologically. The regular practice of any art or craft is incredibly beneficial in the treatment of those with poor mental health or who are rehabilitating after a brain trauma. Simon and Louise have seen amazing results in some of their students who come to them regularly to create with wood & clay. They work together with care associations, council departments & individuals to tailor their half- or full-day workshops to suit the individual needs of the student. They really enjoy sharing their woodturning and ceramics expertise and their lovely environment to contribute towards the rehabilitation and therapies of people in need.

I really enjoy teaching. The point is to discover people’s real interests, and to help them on to the next step, whatever their current starting point. To make a lot of progress in a short time is exciting for everyone around you. I trained at the Slade School of Fine Art, at London University. I have worked in many schools and colleges throughout my life, teaching on a variety of courses. These have ranged from BA Art and Design to working in a primary school. I taught in a girls college in the USA, at Southampton Institute, and at others in Hampshire and London. I have had single students who needed to develop work for art school courses and exams..Also small groups have often come here to learn techniques and work on ideas. I’ve printed textiles for the Royal Shakespeare Company and English National Opera, and experimented with ceramics. I use photography and drawing to examine and develop ideas. At the moment I am interested in print rather than painting, but it is interesting to combine the two, and see what happens. Video also has its own attraction, and I have tried out projection on moving surfaces, including people, and am still interested in taking that further.

Susan Nichols Wire Sculptures

susan nichols wire sculptures

I have been making wire sculptures for over 15 years and recently started working with recycled copper. After leaving school I trained as a marine engineer, so feel confident and at ease working with metals and metalwork tools. I’ve revisited old skills and have been making wire sculptures of birds, animals and people, and selling them for about 15 years. For the past 10 years I have also been teaching small classes of people how to make their own pieces. A few years ago I was given an old copper water cylinder when my son renovated his house and I cut it up to make a large copper flower for my garden. Since then I have been experimenting, designing and making other items and have also been improving my brazing and coppersmithing skills. I particularly like re-using old copper. I am a keen gardener, and often start by having ideas for my own garden, and if they work, I make more to sell. Both galvanised wire and copper are very durable and weatherproof which means they are ideal for garden use, and both weather well over time. I’m very lucky to have a workshop where I can happily while away hours trying out ideas and new projects. Like this:
