Tamzin Lear
A mix medium of creations and texture, supporting the use of sustainable materials. many pieces are created showing the beauty of environment around us, the beauty of the animals, flowers, and illusions. demonstrating a mixture of reused canvas , cardboard and cutout print work, with acrylic , watercolour and ink, cardboard, cotton paper, newspapers etc
bringing everyday materials to life, such as juice carton, Tetra packs, creating a movement and emotion through the touch or a brush and colour, objects around the house to add texture.
I am an abstract artist using emotion to create my work as a release of anxiety, looking after my autistic children has given me the opportunity in bringing feeling into my work due to texture, creativeness and wonder what our minds can dream.
People can touch my work and feel the creation I have made.
Please enjoy looking at them as much as I have enjoyed creating them.

Paintings by Liane Stevenson
Liane’s landscapes are a response to places visited and enjoyed. She is inspired by the rhythms found in the natural and agricultural landscape and in the architectural geometry of the cityscape. She uses mixed media and collage to represent and enhance the decorative aspect of these qualities, whist maintaining a sense of place.
Primarily though, Liane has an immense joy in the artistic process, drawing, applying paint and experimenting with colour and materials.

Regular Activity
‘The UK discards nearly a million tonnes of textiles every year ‘ (WRAP)
This exploration of some of the aspects of textile sustainability consists of two parts. Firstly the CREATE Centre hosts a permanent exhibition of information about textile sustainability, including advice, explanations, and facts and figures. This exhibition is open during CREATE opening hours. The second part is the practical activity days that take place on most Wednesdays from mid morning to mid afternoon. Here the exhibition is extended to include examples of domestic items made from fabrics that would otherwise have been sent to landfill. In addition, such items as cushions, tea cosies, table mats and many other items are being made on the spot, with the intention of encouraging visitors to start or continue their own work. At all the times the exhibition and practical activities are open, free small fabric pieces are usually available so that visitors can take them to incorporate in their own projects.
FABRICation is run by Mike Timmins, who is experienced in decorative textiles as well as textile science and technology.
Transformabin
As part of Bristol’s 2015 Green Capital celebrations, 14 unique community inspired projects were commissioned for each of it’s Neighbourhood Partnerships. Mufti Games with Baggator Young People’s Project successfully pitched to Ashley, Lawrence Hill and Easton Partnership to create a fun project highlighting issues relating to household waste, fly-tipping, and recycling in the local area.
From this the Transformabin was created; a communal bin converted into a playable games station. The simple labyrinth style game highlights the effects that waste has on our city, combining fun and imagination with a positive envorimental message.
The Transformbin is a permanent fixture at Create and can be found in our gallery,
Monday to Friday, 9-5pm.
