Treasure Trove
The British Craft Trade Fair at Harrogate is an important part of my working year. It’s where I get to catch up with existing gallery representatives as well potential new ones. As storytelling becomes an increasingly important part of my work I decided this year that I would set my stand up to reflect this and so tried to recreate a storybook glen within my 2x1m square space.
Part of my stand at BCTF 2013
As well as letting me showcase my work, BCTF is also important for catching up with other makers. I love seeing what they have been up to and so try to get to the venue early in the mornings so that I can have a good look around. Here are a few of the things that caught my eye this year.
Beautiful blown glass by the lovely Matt Walsh of Walsh Designs
New slate lidded vessels by Sue Candy
Beautifully displayed pieces by Leigh Shepherd
Vessels by George Ormerod
Fused glass by Colette Halstead
New wall work by Catherine Green
I came home with quite a few pieces for me, friends and family as well so I will try to get those photographed and share them with you later.
