Waste not......Want not..... Some of our members use recycled materials or left overs to make entire pieces of work or as a contribution to projects they are working on. Examples of the materials used range from coloured glass bottles, wool, fabric scraps, wood from unwanted furniture, broken crockery and upcyclable fabric to select leaves from trees or plants and skins from vegetables. These materials are often seen as scrap but with some ingenious creative ideas from some of the artists at Made in Ross they are being cleverly made into some of the following....

New Artist... Tara Slater
Tara is one of our recent new members. She is a very talented artist using many hands on creative processes including printmaking to create her work. 
She says of her work....
The feel of carving lino or paint is just so satisfying and at the same time it never ceases to be challenging. Making art in this way is methodical and can be almost meditative but, by its very nature, can also be very hit and miss. Printmaking has encouraged me to embrace the unexpected as part of the process and a huge part of what makes traditional prints so special. It takes time and experience to get the images created on the plate to transfer to the paper in the way that was originally envisioned. It’s an intensively ‘by hand’ process, which I love, and the joy of a perfect print coming off the plate can not be underestimated.
My personal preferences are for recycled or handmade papers and water based inks, as they tie in firmly with my eco-friendly values. I make my own paper whenever I can, and source the rest from responsible and ethical manufacturers.
I’m constantly awed by nature and wildlife, and the importance of the conservation of all life and habitats on our planet comes through my art in the subject matter that appeals to me. Animals, flora & fauna and landscapes predominate because I feel a very strong connection to these things, with an innate desire to both admire, nurture and protect them.
