Sea Moor Cornwall
I’m delighted that Sea Moor Cornwall is featuring my sea and weather-inspired Storm, Maelstrom, Breaking Wave and Ripple collections.
You’ll find the Sea Moor gallery, run by the fabulous Gyotaku artist Stevie McCrindle on the main road running through Newlyn, near Penzance in Cornwall.
This is my first Cornish gallery and I’m delighted to be joining Stevie as we share so much in terms of ethos and approach; we are both inspired by the natural world found in and around the seas and moors of Cornwall.
Stevie is passionate about making art and designs that are not just unique in their conception but also mindful of the environment - an approach she also takes when selecting her guest artists like myself.
Her mission is to encourage people to pause and consider where their purchases come from, the effects they’ve had on the earth, and the role they’ll play in the future. Through her work, she hopes to promote more thoughtful and sustainable choices. This is very much reflective of by own sustainable ethos and studio practice as I prefer to use recycled and Fairtrade metals, ethically sourced gemstones and lab-grown and Ocean diamonds whenever possible in my pieces.
Make South West
I’m delighted to have been chosen to be part of Making It 2025 with my sea-inspired Maelstrom and Storm collections.
Held every 2 years, Making It is one of the leading showcases for emerging artists, makers and designers who are based in the Southwest, celebrating innovation, diversity and collaboration in craft and making. The exhibition sees 25 Southwest-based emerging artists in the prestigious Jubilee Gallery at MAKE Southwest.

Form Falmouth Art Fair
IClare will be exhibiting for the first time at Form Falmouth Art Festival with her Storm, Maelstrom and Celtic collections, Labrador jewellery and cufflinks and her stunning silver bangles along with a number of other exclusive pieces.
This county of Cornwall has long been a source of inspiration, refuge, and community. Both shaped by and simultaneously shaping the creatives who call it home. Artists and makers here are influenced by the rhythms of the landscape that surrounds us, inspired by both the raw dynamism and the gentle ebb and flow. We believe the art created in Cornwall is unparalleled and deserves to be celebrated by both familiar and new faces.
2024 is the third year of our annual festival which celebrates the visual arts heritage and vibrant creative culture of Falmouth. FORM offers a series of captivating events such as talks, workshops and exhibitions in venues across the town, including in a 3-day art fair at Princess Pavilion. Here you’ll be able to immerse yourself in the work of hugely talented Cornish artists and craftspeople ands purchase directly from these small creative enterprises.
