TRANSFORMATIONS

I'm an Honorary Fellow (as book-artist) of the Society of Designer Craftsmen and hope that those of you who are in London will be visiting what promises to be an inspiring show. Here is my Maker Page on the Society's website.

It is the Society of Designer Craftsmen's pleasure to invite you to:

Transformations – an exhibition of unique contemporary craft from the Society of Designer Craftsmen.

Masters in the magic of transforming simple materials into superb contemporary craft works, the Society of Designer Craftsmen will be revealing their collective skill at the Bankside Gallery in London this summer. Combining innovative approach with supreme craftsmanship, over 100 of the Society’s members will be showcasing original work in textiles, ceramics, glass, wood, paper, stone, base and precious metals.

Established in 1887 by Walter Crane, with William Morris an early President, the Society of Designer Craftsmen is proud to have as members some of the finest and respected designer-makers of the day. It continues to promote and support the work of creative thinkers, designers and makers who innovate through the exploration of materials and skills in their own fields.

Transformations will exemplify the abundance of talent the Society represents today.

It will also feature a selection of supreme designer craft works created by Honorary Fellows of the Society along with the stories behind them.The exhibition will offer a rare opportunity to view and purchase a wide range of exceptional and unique craft pieces.

It runs from Wed 15th June to Sun 26thJune, 11am to 6pm every day. Admission is free and all works are for sale. Commissions can also be taken.
