7 days to go.....
Jane Audas is a powerhouse of knowledge and ideas. Her digital production, curating and writing skills are regularly sought by the V& A, Ruthin Crafts Centre, Science Museum, Selvedge magazine and the Natural History Museum. In her own words, "I like finding and telling stories about objects". Jane's are our Final 5 Favourites before our doors open at City Hall next Friday at 10am and it's your last opportunity to enter our amazing Under The Thatch competition.
I can never resist kitchen based craft purchases. The combination of utility of form and function means I just want to pick things up and start using them.
I’m a signed-up member of the ‘people who wear far too much black’ club. And where would we be without our statement necklaces and jewellery?
Jewellery that tells a story is always fascinating. And means you have something to think about whenever you wear it.
Anything that combines paper, sculpture, words, books and craft is like catnip for me.
When ceramics and pattern meet in a gentle way, resulting in tactile and decorative wares, eating and drinking becomes so much more pleasurable.
