2 Weeks Until Craft Festival Cheltenham

Michaela McMillan Chooses Her 5 Favourites from Craft Festival Cheltenham
Micheala McMillan's makes bold, colourful sculptures using recycled materials, creating a next life for unwanted objects and you can meet at Craft Festival Cheltenham.
She was named after a wildlife documentary filmmaker, Michaela Denis, and as her namesake she has always been inspired and curious about animals and nature, fascinated by their exuberance and fragility.
Micheala's collections are statement pieces intended to be playfully serious, holding parables about our lives today within them.
Read on for Micheala's 5 Favourites from Craft Festival Cheltenham

Michaela will be part of our panel discussion, hosted by Dr Kate Strasdin on Saturday June 11th. Joining Kate and Michaela are Brett Payne, Jeremy James and James Donald. I'm really looking forward to hearing about the Stories behind the Making.
Complimentary places are VERY LIMITED so grab your seat NOW!
See you at Cheltenham Town Hall,
Best wishes,
Sarah
Jeremy James
Love the narrative with Jeremy's work. I can conjure up so many stories with each piece. They feel historical, full of movement and presence.
These are beautiful brushes. I love the sense of ceremony in using a handcrafted object being daily. Gorgeous colours.
Alison Stockmarr
Every time I see Alison's work it just makes my heart sing. The sense of nostalgia, storytelling, emotion and the stunning compositions and colours, amazing!
Red Ruby Rose
I've just discovered Rowena’s work, and it’s just stunning. The natural images are so colourful and delicate - the cross-body purses are a particular fave!
Ashi Marwaha
Ashi's jewellery is just amazing, so intricate, exquisite shapes and always a contemporary twist. Particularly love the asymmetric earrings.
