Who else is at Craftworks this weekend?

Posted on by

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!

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.
