New Work: This Heritage Piece Has Been Created through “In a New Light”

Throughout 2022 I was part of an exciting project and exhibition called “In a New Light”  This Arts Council funded project explored three endangered crafts in north Devon and their revival. Here is a video about the project.

Set up by Edward Crumpton and Jess Pearson  “In a New Light” brought together 3 skilled craftspeople from endangered crafts, to teach 3 artist or crafts people their skills.  These new skills could then be incorporated into new works.

I was very lucky to work with heritage gilder and Verre-églomisé artist Danni Bradford who taught me the basics of water and oil gilding which i have incorporated into my new work.

The new unique piece of furniture I created was exhibited at Barnstaple museum as part of “In a New Light” until early 2023 alongside pieces by Hestery Berry and Edward Crumpton

I created a side table in American Walnut with a beaten gilded golden disc in the center.  This unique heritage piece is the first piece in a new collection, please see the images below.
