Hello!
I hope this finds you well.
With only 3 Weeks until Craft Festival Bovey Tracey, we asked Natalie Melton, Executive Director of Craft Council to choose her 5 Favourites from this year’s line up.
Scarlweaves
I am excited to see the whole start up section – there are some really terrific new businesses here making interesting work, but I was particularly drawn to scarl weaves and some of the commissioned pieces that I spied on her website, her work shows a sense of restraint that really lets the skill of weaving and the natural materials come to the fore.
Takahashi McGill –
There is such a deep respect for material in their work, and I love the dialogue between the husband and wife duo and how their complementary skills seems to elevate the beauty of each piece.
Hilda Carr Pottery
I was drawn to the calm, tactile nature of Hilda’s work – as well as the range of pieces she has on offer – particularly the oh-so-covetable lamp bases – just divine.
I’m an absolute basket addict – I cannot travel anywhere without returning home with a local basket – so will be making a beeline straight here to snap up one of these willow beauties.
These letterpress and botanical ink prints are simply so poetic, and so original.
