Collect 2008
Just got back from town. It was a very good show ! Much outstanding work to feast the eyes and heart on. Not much glass, but much ceramics and Jewellery a plenty.
Also, satellite show of Philip and Monicas, Baldwin Guggisberg, just down the road towards the Tube station on Exhibition Road. Nadia and Angel at Vessel have done a great job of showing Philip and Monicas work. Well worth a look and the 200 yd walk from the front entrance of the V&A .
It was also good to see so many friendly faces from Rosedale, thank you to all who came along on the Friday !
Disappointing, that at the opening of the event, the Crafts Council did not announce the next venue for the show when it moves from the V&A for 2009. We all wait to see the next incarnation of this important event for European Applied Arts, in a ‘Post Craft’ world. The failure to announce has caused much speculation , which I hope it will be resolved quickly and no damage is done to the credability or continuity of the show.
If you are in or near London town I do recommend a look. There is a link on the blog to all the details.
New Work
Just finished these two small bowls for the V&A Museum Shop.
Quite pleased with them.
Hope to see them in situ next week when we vist the V&A for Collect.
On with some new patterns now. Plan to have a studio show in Spring to show the new work.
Yorkshire Post
Made the Post again on Saturday. Bit of a nice surprise. All to do with CIN… The Burns Owen Partnership did some research for CIN, about creatives in North Yorks. Turns out combine us as a group across the board, and we economically make more for the county than farming, forestry and fisheries.
If you fancy a read of the full piece then the link is below.
