Barry Wall is an experimental artist based in Reading. He has been a member of the Henley Arts & Crafts Guild since 2016 and has exhibited collages, acrylic paintings, hand-built ceramic works and resin castings in guild exhibitions. He has also exhibited on the Caversham Arts Trail, Henley Arts Trail and in the

Caroline McAslan loves to do a huge variety of art and craft work. As well as experimenting with iPad paintings in pastel and watercolour, she loves working in acrylics, pen and ink and oils. Caroline is always busy sewing or knitting to create Christmas crafts and make cards for sale. Drawing inspiration from wildlife and nature is where her focus lies. Above all creating colourful works in many different mediums is what motivates her most.

I am finding my way experimenting with different art forms, and do love mixed media. At the moment, however, I am deeply interested in fluid art, especially acrylics and inks. This week I have been focusing on blooms using the dutch pour.

I have no formal art qualifications, just a passion for drawing and painting, which started early in 2025 after attending a community art class. I enjoy creating illustrations in pen and watercolour and painting colourful landscapes inspired by country walks and travelling.

Now I have retired, I have enjoyed returning to drawing, watercolour and acrylics. I have attended approximately 15 classes in the last 3 years and enjoy crafting too.
