craft&design… a Showcase for British Crafts
Featuring the work of two award winning glass artists from the British Glass Biennale 2008 - Robyn Smith’s extraordinary glass curtains and distinctive glass chandeliers by James Lethbridge. Also in this issue: Andrew Geoghegan’s very special jewellery; spectacular blown glass by Will Shakspeare; stylish tableware by designer silversmith Anne Davis; and Riitta Sinkkonen Davies’ traditional spinning and weaving with flax.
There’s work by some of the UK’s top glass artists in this issue’s Glass Makers Gallery - Peter Layton, Adam Aaronson, Abinger Stained Glass, E&M Glass and many more. Or if you fancy having a go yourself, read all about the exciting Glass Courses offered by The Liquid Glass Centre. And still with Glass, we look back at the remarkable life of Dan Klein and the Memorial Fund that’s been set up in his name to support the continuing development of his legacy, North Lands Creative Glass.
We find out how Design Space in Birmingham helps jewellery businesses, we head west to visit the Devon Guild of Craftsmen, and we preview ‘Desire’, the Jewellery and Silversmithing Fair at Winchester where some of the UK’s major designer makers, such as Rachel Gogerly and Martin Pugh, will be exhibiting their work.
Whatever your craft interests, our Directory of Craft Supplies will help you to source your materials and equipment, whilst the listings of Craft Fairs and Gallery Exhibitions will point you in the right direction to enjoy some truly creative Christmas shopping!
Remember to look out for our January/February 2010 issue which features all our 2009 craft&design Selected Award Winners – on sale earlier than usual on the 3rd December.
I love the new look and layout. It's so informative, totally inspiring and completely rooted in the real world of real people doing real stuff.
