Who else is at Craftworks this weekend?
We have a late addition, making 18 amazing craftsmen and women for your delight & delectation!
A little Italian style never goes amiss and Ettore Consorte brings exactly that to Craftworks, with his fabulous jewellery. Last time I saw him he had a drop-dead gorgeous pendant featuring a brilliant spinel, a much underrated gemstone I knew nothing about. He will most gladly tell you all about these lovely gems and all the other stones he uses. And I just need a lottery win!
Also appearing are charming printmaker Rachel Salisbury and master furniture designer maker Brian Maiden, come and explore, discover and be tempted.
This weekend, 21st and 22nd October, Elmslie House, Malvern. Open 10am – 4pm, free entry. Click the link for directions etc. The cafe will be open all weekend too!
Who is?
Who is at Craftworks?
Barry is our chairman, but what I really want to know is. . . .
. . . just exactly what is he doing in his ‘action shot’.
I’ll have to wait until Craftworks to find out #MeettheMaker.
Come and find out for yourself next weekend 21st & 22nd October, Elmslie House, Malvern.
Christmas means Craftworks
The Guild’s very own Craftworks is just 15 days away.
Come and meet the makers, chat with the craftsmen, discuss with the designers!
In the lovely relaxed setting of Elmslie House, Malvern, you’ll find time & space to browse 16 outstanding exhibits across ceramics, print, jewellery and more. And you can be assured everything is locally made, by hand, by the actual people you meet. #Shoplocal #Handmade #designermakerartist.
We love to talk about what we do!
The in house cafe, serving delicious, homemade light bites and moreish cakes, will be open during our show.
So, make time to visit, relax and enjoy.
And, perhaps, start ticking off those unique, rather special presents for loved ones this Christmas.
Entry is Free!
Seasons of mists and……
well I’ve started so I’ll finish…
…… mellow fruitfulness!
And for all members of your favourite contemporary craft guild that can only mean one thing; the autumn shows. Busy and busier right up to Ch-shhhh (we’ll mention that soon enough).
So what’s up?
A little bird tells me that Herefordshire Art Week kicks off on 2nd September, and runs through to the 10th. Quite a number of our talented designer makers will be exhibiting during h.Art in venues around the county.
Some are at their own studios and others at gallery style exhibitions so you may get treated to demonstrations as well as a chance to ‘meet the maker’ (check before you travel though as not all designers will be on hand every day.)
Including :-
Brian Maiden, Bridget Drakeford, Belinda Terry & Tara Coomber at Venue 51
Jenni Stuart-Anderson & Jill Bagnall at Venue 117
Sharon Curtis & Ali Tregaskes at venue 61 and venue 60
Jo Dewar & Claudia Petley at venue 46
Sam Hemming & Tanith Rouse at venue 54
Marie Therese-King at venue 36
Paul Shepherd at venue 127
Sarah Walker at venue 48
h.Art is a fabulous, county (and just beyond) wide celebration of the best arts and crafts. Outstanding artists, designer makers and multi skilled creatives rub shoulders at gorgeous venues.
Look out for the pink signs!
Runs 2nd to 10th October inclusive.
