Made by Hand, Tredegar House, Newport


Just wanted to share some photographs with you of my stand at the Made by Hand craft fair in Tredegar House, Newport. Its been rather frenetic making lots of new work over the last few weeks in time for this show, but very much worth it as its such a good event for me. I've created a new collection of jacquard woven framed works, all based on photographs on the Welsh landscape, meadows, trees and hedgerows. There are also lots of new Resonate sculptures and some brand new turned wooden vessels, wrapped with silk, cotton and linen threads: a new way to transform threads into something three dimensional.

Tomorrow (Sunday 2nd Dec) is the final day of the fair, so hotfoot it down there if you can! There is so much inspiring and affordable work to treat yourself or loved ones this Christmas. Its open from 10-5pm and there is a lovely on-site cafe selling tempting food. Hope to see you there.....

Tickets:
Adult Day Ticket £6
Accompanied children under 14 FREE
Concessions (aged 15-18, students, unwaged & OAPS) £5
Family Day Ticket (2 Adults & 2 Children aged 15-18) £16

Origin

Oh dear..... my blogging recently has somewhat fallen by the wayside as I've been frenetically busy. Last month I took part in Origin, the contemporary craft fair which is part of the London Design Festival. I had a great week meeting lots of customers, new galleries and fellow makers. Below are some pictures of my stand and some of the new work, including some of my jacquards of the Welsh landscape. Enjoy :-)






....and after a stand shuffle around on the weekend.....
