Craft Festival
Hilary Burns
I love the ease of Hilary’s sculptural forms alongside her the textures and subtle colours in her baskets.
Jo Irvine
The carefully considered geometric juxtapositions of different precious metals and simplicity of shape make Jo’s work perfect jewellery to wear with ease and make a statement at the same time.
Takahashi McGil
Takahashi McGil’s work has a beautiful calmness grounding the viewer with nature through the wood whilst the textures surfaces reminds us of the hand at work.
Dennis Blatchley
I love Dennis’ functional ceramics, the richness of terracotta clay is highlighted by and dances with the retro colours of the lids.
Keeley Traae
Keeley has a real eye for colour and shapes and the only problem with her 3d printed pieces is that one is never enough!
