Facets of Avalon is our retail gallery in Glastonbury, specialising in hand made jewellery, hand painted silks and colour healing products. Jan Billings and Rachel Reilly, a mother and daughter team who are already established artists in their own unique styles, have combined their talents to create a space where they can be seen working. We are just off Glastonbury High Street, around the corner from the post office.
Come and visit a very special and friendly place.
As well as our own work, on display are some carefully chosen 'magical things' that we think are lovely, wearables and interior pieces. A beautiful selection of gift ideas for yourself or a special person.

Rachel Reilly: I love sculpting jewellery with silver and enamelled wires. Form excites me and colour drives me. I knit a colourful mesh which after a series of manipulations, a piece grows and flourishes. It is an organic process. I try to mimic the perfection and strong simplicity of nature. The spiral form is ever present in the work. The knitted jewellery is unique. When a finished piece is worn by the rightful owner, both are transformed and energised. It is magical to see.

Jan Billings: Painting has always been a passion for me. Colour and pattern are a constant in my work. The process of creating visual dynamics by playing one colour off against another has always intrigued me.  I have always been fascinated by the juxtaposition of colours from my first psychedelic designs in the 60's to the more muted tones I use at the moment. At last I feel with using silk and dyes that I have found my ideal medium, where the transformative properties of colour, light and illumination are an integral part of my new work. Now my colours sing from the shimmering silk fabrics. I am a trained Aura Soma Colour Therapist. Aura Soma is a form of healing through the use of colour. I have learned about all the spiritual, emotional, physical and mental properties of every single colour and every colour combination and their effect on the human psyche and attempt now to use this knowledge within my painting.
