The Bristol Artisan is the newest addition to a portfolio of successful events organised by Designers/Makers in collaboration with cultural venues. This two day weekend selling event is highly consumer oriented and offers visitors the opportunity to meet the designers and view, buy or commission products from over 40 Designer Makers. Come and chat to me about commissioning a rug to add a joyful pop of handwoven colour to your home and see a host of top notch designer makers. Full exhibitor list is here.
Join us to celebrate 50 years of the shift dress. With Arts Council England funding, nine textile artists/designers, collectively known as Seam collective, are creatively exploring their craft to showcase contemporary textile design with nine shift dresses.
Visitors can take part by sending in a photograph of their favourite shift dress and make their own mark in the gallery by hand embroidering graffiti on our blank shift dress during the exhibition.
Seam artists taking part are: Anna Glasbrook, Desiree Goodall, Anna Gravelle, Joy Merron, Angie Parker, Linda Row, Tabitha Stewart, Penny Wheeler and Samon Yechi
29 Jan-29 Feb 2016 Devon Guild of Craftsmen 3 Bristol-based makers explore personal responses to themes of colour and shape using print, glass and weave.
