The 3rd "Art in Action Fair" at Waterperry in Oxfordshire has just finished, with over 25,000 people enjoying the four day show. Filled with textile artists, painters, printmakers, metalworkers, jewellers, sculpture, calligraphy, illustration, and glass blowers (have I left anyone out?) demonstrating their methods and techniques, it's filled with exciting, inspirational work on show. Wonderful to see, the return of figurative drawing - both life and still life.
Here are just three of our favourites:

Applique artist Clare Beaton's number picture

Alice in Wonderland inspired teapot called "Alice Wouldn't Come" by Gwen Bainbridge

Bright pottery by Mirka Golden-Hann
