This week, our friend Elaine Dye of The Byre Gallery takes a walk around the website and shares her 5 favourites from Digital Craft Festival.
Read on hear about our next podcast episode with jeweller, Bronwen Gwillim and the chance to win Alex Pole's new book, The Forge Kitchen.
Ash and Plumb
I’ve been banned by my husband from buying any more wooden chopping boards so I was delighted to see that the beautiful collection of wooden pieces by Ash and Plumb has so many desirable pieces and not one I’d be be prevented from purchasing!
Helen Johannessen
Texture, colour and form combine in Helen’s stunning sculptural work, contemporary ceramics at their very best.
Lindsey Mann
I’ve really admired Lindsey’s jewellery for some time now. I think her wonderful use of colour coupled with her stylish settings is a winning combination and oh so covetable.
Amanda Banham
I follow Amanda on Instagram and love the stories she shares about the ‘inhabitants’ of her houses; it adds a wonderful extra layer of narrative to her work and perhaps brings out the storytellers in all of us as we imagine who might live in the little homes.
Tip Studio
I’m so drawn to these: there is a wonderful calmness, and sense of balance and proportion in Daisy’s work - and I so wish I could pick a piece up, as the jesmonite looks so tactile.
The Capital of Craft and Digital Craft Festival
This week on The Capital of Craft podcast, our guest is jeweller and Digital Craft Festival exhibitor, Bronwen Gwillim.
Based on the Pembrokeshire coast at Angle Bay, Bronwen forages and repurposes found plastics into covetable jewellery.
