Upcoming Designers - Craft in the Bay

 
I will be exhibiting a small selection of my work in Craft in the Bay, Cardiff, at the beginning of September. I am pleased to say that it will include fellow graduates and previous graduates from Hereford College of Arts.
It is in combination with the St.Ives Potters exhibition & you can find me in the Oriel 2 space on the first floor. 
Having never sent off my work before, I think I have double checked possibly everything!!
 
 
The selection was quite hard as I am limited to how many pieces I can send. But after a little while, I finally made my choice. Finally deciding on sending mainly silver pieces with one copper, just for colouring more than anything.

The Exhibition will run from Saturday 8th September - Sunday 11th November 2012.

Society of Designer Craftsmen


During New Designers I had an interview with Anoush to become part of the Society of Designer Craftsmen. She was very lovely and enjoyed my work, which is always nice to hear!


A few days ago I recieved a letter in the post to say that I had been accepted
as a Licentiate Member!! 
Alongside this I have also been invited to exhibit at the Mall Galleries in London in January 2013.

I am very excited to be exhibiting with other members and to be part of SDC!!!  

Shortly I will be added to the List of Members on the website.

Update...

Sorry it's been a little while since the last post, I've been a little busy, but have lots of things to share.

During the degree show back in June (feels like a while ago now), I was invited to exhibit with the Gloucestershire Guild of Craftsmen, which runs from the 4th- 28th August in Painswick. I went along to help set up and was given the task of painting....& had lots of it to do! I have to say it felt like I was back setting up the degree show and New Designers!


The Exhibition was held in an original Arts & Crafts building,
which was the perfect setting for the show. The Ceiling was the best feature!
It went from this above picture....



To this....
The Private View...
Couldn't believe how many people were there!

This was my first exhibition since graduating, so it was a little strange. But it was nice to exhibit alongside some established makers, some of which I have seen at other reputable shows.


While I was in Painswick, I explored the town, which was built in this fantastic stone.
 It was beautiful.




The walk through the church grounds was lovely too!
