Artist

Sara Evans

Sara Evans’ playful, sometimes dark, often humorous sculptures are hand built in series and most are related to their predecessors. During the making process fresh challenges always arise sparking ideas for further pieces, as well as deepening Sara’s understanding of the nature of clay. Sara’s themes are psychological states and human behaviour in response or reaction to our complex, confusing and ever-changing world. Some of the work depicts animals as metaphorical stand-ins for the human condition. Stories that we tell ourselves and others, whether ‘true’ or not, is the substance of her work. Alongside her sculptures, Sara has recently been exploring sculptural vessels layered with slips, underglazes and oxides. Inspired by her mixed-media sketchbook practice these forms focus on harmonizing surface decoration with the sculptural, and relate to her desire to constantly develop her work. Sara has an Honours degree in Fine Art specializing in Ceramics, and in the 1990’s she worked in production pottery at Dartington Pottery at Shinner’s Bridge. At times when Sara was unable to pursue an art-career, she worked at an organic vegetable farm, planted many thousands of trees, and learnt how to build dry-stone walls. After completing a PGCE in art, Sara taught learning disabled adults weaving, pottery, and art. Following many years in art education, Sara teaches weekly ceramics classes and specialised technique day workshops. Requests for commissions are welcome. Sara is a member of Make Southwest in Bovey Tracy.

Artizan Collective at Delamore Arts 2026

Artizan Collective is proud to return to Delamore Arts for our third consecutive year in 2026. Since our partnership began in 2024, our presence within the historic grounds of Delamore has grown from a single showcase into a vibrant, multi-venue Stableyard Arts Quarter—a dedicated hub for contemporary British craft, fine art, and creative engagement. Based in the heart of the English Riviera, Artizan Collective is a social enterprise dedicated to championing the South West’s creative industries. Since 2014, we have worked from our home in Torbay—a UNESCO Global Geopark—to support hundreds of artists annually, managing cultural venues and providing essential platforms for both emerging and established talent. Our ongoing collaboration with Delamore Arts allows us to extend this mission, bringing the very best of regional and national creativity to one of the most prestigious events on the South West arts calendar. This year, Artizan Collective is delivering its most ambitious programme to date, transforming the Delamore Stable Courtyard into a destination for discovery: •Contemporary British Printmakers: Our flagship exhibition returns for its third year in the Carriage Room Gallery, celebrating the technical mastery and narrative power of original handmade prints. •The Kiln Room: Following its standout success, this dedicated space returns to showcase the "alchemy" of ceramics, from functional studio pottery to avant-garde sculptural clay. •The Old Workshop (New for 2026): Transitioning from a trial of "have-a-go" sessions into a permanent fixture, this dedicated space hosts a full month of curated exhibitions, workshops and demonstrations. •The Courtyard Shop (New for 2026): A brand-new retail experience for Delamore, showcasing "stockable" high-quality art products. From original textiles to handmade stationery, leather goods and more, it is the perfect place to find a unique, artisan-made treasure. •The Maker Takeovers: Located in "The Stalls," these rotating pop-up art spaces offer an intimate, ever-changing opportunity to meet the region’s finest artisans, watch live demonstrations, and buy direct from the creators. "Delamore Arts has become a cornerstone of our annual activity. In our third year, we are thrilled to be deepening our contribution, showcasing the incredible vibrancy of the UK’s creative community. Our commitment remains rooted in the belief that art should be engaging and accessible, and we are honoured to provide a bridge between the extraordinary artists we represent and the discerning visitors of Delamore." Through this curated showcase, we hope to not only add value to the visitor experience but also to shine a light on the incredible talent shaping the future of British art and craft. We invite you to explore, discover, and take home a piece of original creativity this May.
