I am delighted to be exhibiting a new unique piece of furniture as part of “In a New Light” at the Museum of Barnstaple from the 1st October 2022 – 18th February 2023.
This wonderful exhibition is inspired by endangered crafts and their revival through the creation of Modern Art and Craft, and includes work by Hestery Berry, Edward Crumpton and myself.
In a new light is an Arts Council funded project exploring endangered crafts in north Devon. Set up by Edward Crumpton and Jess Pearson this project brings together a skilled craftsperson in an endangered (locally endangered) craft who will teach another artist or crafts person so they can incorporate the skill into their own craft.
I have been very lucky to have been working with heritage gilder and Verre-églomisé artist Danni Bradford who has been teaching me the basics of water and oil gilding.
