Blisland Harness Makers
 Blisland Harness Makers produce a full range of saddlery and driving harness as well as maintaining a complete repair service. The work has branched out into cattle, sheep, pig and goat harness and all leather dog equipment. The craft side is expanding with cartridge bags/belts, pouches and cases, boxes, fashion belts, bellows, fishing rod and reel cases, and sailing equipment. Jane Talbot-Smith is now making a tripod stool which comes in various heights. Jane uses her training as a carriage builder in her carving on the bellow as well as doing all the leather work on horse drawn vehicles. She also makes and restores rocking horse tack.
In 1985 Jane was assessed and accepted into the Society of master Saddlers and became the first Master Saddler in Cornwall. Jane is qualified to teach saddlery and leather work and has run several courses with YTS students.

Glen Forster, Digital Photographic Artist
I have recently returned to photography and am concentrating on my own personal interpretations of my own photographs.
Both travel and philosophy have played a very large part in my life. Different peoples and different places have always fascinated me. Couple this with the genes of a Portuguese great grandmother and my love of colour and form, both of which are very important to me, may be explained. I have tried to exploit this in my images and provide a "painterly" feel to my work.
The coming age of digital revolution has enabled me to combine both the scientific and artistic elements of my life. Use of the computer gives me great satisfaction in that it allows me the freedom to interpret the picture in different ways, unlike straight photography.
Archival prints of my work are available in limited editions of 25. If properly cared for these should last up to 70 years.
