SCAF Emerging Artists 2023 Exhibition Catalogue

Jill Tattersall
Mixed Media Artist
Three years ago Jill and her studio, The Wolf at the Door,
moved from Brighton to York. She hasn’t stopped making
art since childhood, but originally earned her living as an
academic specialising in medieval French literature with a
particular interest in old maps and travel accounts. Later she
took courses in art, design and ceramics at her local college;
her first solo exhibition soon followed.
Jane Claire Wilson
Winner of the Scott Creative Arts Foundation Emerging Artist Award 2022
Jane creates textile sculptures and 2D artwork to share stories
about places and people. Her work is in response to walking
in new places, talking with local community members and
research into the social and political context of the place.
Jane recently graduated from Leeds Arts University with an MA
in Creative Practice researching How creating a sense of place
in a creative practice engages audiences and makers in social,
political and global discussions.
Jane worked as an Early Years Teacher and Advisor; always
bringing creativity to the classroom. When Jane decided to
develop her own creative practice, she attended an Access to
Art and Design Course at York College. This positive experience
led to a change of direction into a new career in the Arts.
Since graduating Jane has exhibited in local galleries and pop
up shops. Jane is a member of York Textile Artists and North
Yorkshire Open Studios. In 2022 Jane won the SCAF Emerging
Artist Award. Jane works as a community based artist; delivering
workshops throughout North Yorkshire. Jane is currently
researching the theme of belonging to a place; a sense of the
familiar and unfamiliar. She is spending time exploring the
collections of Michael and Eileen Scott at the SCAF studios
as inspiration for new work.
