Gabrielle Dudley
Gabrielle studied Fine Art Painting at Exeter College of Art in 1969. After leaving she married and spent much of her youth raising a family and working in Agriculture. She returned to the arts in 1992 to study ceramics by attending Carmarthen College of Art, and followed this by spending a further two years at the college as a ceramics technician's assistant helping students with their very diverse projects. This has given her a very wide base of knowledge of both fine art painting, printing, glasswork and ceramics and its possibilities. She began making tiles and mosaics as a business in 1997, having spent three years in her workshop at home experimenting and producing work for exhibitions.
 
Since then she has produced a very large quantity of murals, individual tiles, paintings, glass window mosaics, painted glass - used for splash backs and kitchen cupboard door inserts, and ceramic portrait cameos. Each of the works that she produces gets the same level of care and they are worked on until they meet her exacting standards.

She has exhibited regularly during those years of production, and has shown both ceramics and paintings in London's St. Martins, at the Tile and Stone Show, at the Excel Centre in East London, at the Grand Designs exhibitions in Birmingham and at numerous other venues in Wales, Oxfordshire, Norfolk, Hampshire, Chicago and Belfast as well as having a presence at one day events such as the Reading show, the Royal Welsh show, Summer Craft Fairs, Food and River Festivals and Christmas Fairs all around Wales from Cardiff to Aberystwyth. After opening her own Gallery at the school in 2016 her work is now permanently on show and can be viewed at any time.

Gabrielle Dudley makes sure her artworks are both practical and of a very high standard. She is highly skilled in most areas of art and welcomes commissions of all types. For ideas and information please browse these web pages or phone the studio on 01239 851026.
 
Gabrielle spends her time working steadily and constantly mainly on her commissioned projects or teaching in the workshops held at the school during the week. 
Each work that she produces will be completely unique having been individually inspired by her commissioning clients.
