We are pleased to announce the makers that have been selected for the CKA x Krowji Project Space.
The CKA x Krowji Project Space offers two weeks use of a large space at Krowji for artists to focus on a project away from their usual working environment. They will also have the chance to take part in Krowji’s Summer Showcase, which will take place 25th to 27th July.
Sam Horn-Norris Bradbury
Sam is an artist living in Penryn working with a range of media—printmaking, sculpture, illustration, and more. He loves experimenting and trying new things to keep his work fresh and avoid getting stuck in a routine. His influences range from Cubism and Dadaism to fantasy art, outsider art and unusual illustrations.
Recently, he’s been getting into wood carving and mask making, and he’s currently focusing on developing his skills in automata and puppetry. This residency will give him the space to dive deeper into puppet-making and explore new creative possibilities.
Lou Tonkin
Lou Tonkin is a printmaker producing lino cut prints & homewares which are inspired almost exclusively by nature, our community & the beautiful environment she is surrounded by in her home county of Cornwall & her rural adventures.
Lou’s work focuses on movement, tone and texture, to allow you to feel like you are there with the subject & feeling the connection to the wild elements in that moment.
‘Knowing where the wild orchids & wood anemones grow each year, where the song thrushes choose to go for their supper & the best hedgerows for when you really wish to share part of your walk with a wren is everything to me’ – communicating this love of nature is the foundation of Lou’s work process.
Kate Walters
Fine Art trained in London, Brighton and Falmouth, Kate works from Trewarveneth Studios in Newlyn. Her works have been widely exhibited in various juried shows – details on her website below. She’s working on her third book of writing and drawing with Guillemot Press.
Kate paints, draws and writes from tethering points anchored in various worlds: bodily, psychoanalytic, dreamed, remembered, ancestral, creaturely and plant-ed. She works in found books, on canvas, paper and in notebooks. Being out in wild places helps Kate feel connected, and she regards time in her garden or studio as sanctuary.
Emma Saffy Wilson
Born in Buckinghamshire in 1973, Emma has lived and worked near Land’s End in West Cornwall since 1996. Her practice explores ideas of value, interpretation and the overlooked, often using clay, found objects and dirt. Whilst studying Studio Ceramics at Falmouth, she began incorporating dirt into my work. She’s drawn to the language around dirt, how it’s framed as waste or contamination, when it is simply “matter out of place” (Mary Douglas). She is also fascinated by ambiguity and shifting meanings of objects, places and rituals and what we value. Alongside her practice, she has spent the past 25 years working as a socially engaged community arts practitioner. She is a member of the Newlyn Society of Artists and CAMP, and in 2024 received an Arts Council DYCP grant to further develop her practice.
