About the organisers
Michelle
Michelle holds a varied hospitality background, ranging from Michelin-starred restaurants to local pubs and everything in between. She is happiest in customer-focused roles, creating fun, welcoming, and meaningful experiences for the people around her.
She also runs Tribe Somerset, a series of non-profit pop-up events that give back directly to local causes and initiatives. Her most recent event raised over £2,000 for local schools, and she is looking forward to continuing this work in 2027.
Her love for creativity and street art began over 20 years ago with the work of Miss Van, whose bold and expressive style first sparked her fascination with the power of visual storytelling. Since then, she has remained deeply inspired by the way art can connect people, evoke emotion, and positively shape the world around her.
Kate
Kate is a software developer by day, building websites and mobile apps with a focus on making the web greener and more inclusive. Before learning to code, she spent 10 years working across arts and education, working on projects at Design Museum, RIBA, Bow Arts Trust, and Barbican; shaping her love of bringing creative work to wider audiences. Over the past year she has been learning all about wine, and is particularly interested in how wine influences culture and vice versa.
Originally from Somerset, in her spare time she draws, paints, sings, and is a citizen scientist as part of the Frome Beaver Watch. She works from Makers Yard Somerset.
Adam
Adam is an artist originally from the North East of England, where he was named Young North East Artist of the Year. His passion for creating impactful work led to a 15-year global career as an award-winning art director and creative director.
In recent years, his second love—wine—took centre stage. After making wine around the world, he founded Saddle Goose in 2020, producing boundary-pushing, low-intervention wines from English grapes.
Adam sees a natural crossover between art and wine—both shaped by place, instinct, and personal perspective, with the power to spark conversation and shared experience. Unfiltered is a reflection of that belief: a space where these two worlds meet, collide, and connect.
