MORE ABOUT GARETH HACON

Gareth is a photographer based in Norfolk, who studied graphic design and moved into photography with an interest in open and closed spaces. His work is concerned with the passage of thought leading from the expanse of large open spaces, seemingly impossible to capture. Using time and patience these take form through his photographs harmonising composition, light and land to create a final photograph conveying thought and evoking awe.

Our makers create beautiful handmade objects that are one-offs: cushions, cups, chopping boards and decorative furniture for the home. They use diverse materials, often natural, and associated with an under appreciated craft and the rural location where they have been produced. These include seashells, hand-turned wood, wool, glass and ceramics (Right ©Laura Huston).
