June’s Featured Artist:

Jody Lloyd

During lockdown in coastal Wales, local creative Jody began collecting heart-shaped stones on his daily beach walks — a quiet ritual that brought him solace during a difficult chapter of life. What started as a simple act of noticing soon grew into a beautiful artistic practice, as he photographed and collaged these natural tokens of love, memory and healing.

Each stone carries a story of place and emotion, from stormy Aberystwyth to nostalgic Hastings, and now forms part of a deeply personal exhibition celebrating the quiet beauty of the natural world and the unexpected ways it holds us.

Jody and Rosie also host Ecstatic Dance at The Bridge twice a month — come connect, move, and be part of the rhythm.

Jo Brand

Jo’s Skincare Brand | Artist & Founder Bio

Rooted in ritual and inspired by the harmony of nature, Jo is the creative force behind Jo’s Skincare Brand — a unisex skincare line designed to restore balance, nourish deeply, and awaken natural radiance.

Alongside her skincare creations, Jo expresses her artistry through intricate dot artworks — each piece a quiet meditation in form, flow, and symmetry. Drawing on sacred geometry, the freedom of creative thinking, and spiritual symbolism, her art reflects the same philosophy as her skincare: balance, intention, and connection.

From the precision of pattern to the purity of ingredients, every creation is thoughtfully crafted to honour both inner and outer wellbeing. Whether through skin or canvas, Jo invites you to slow down, reconnect, and return to your natural glow.

Inspired by nature. Created with intention. Designed for all.
