5 Favourites from Craft Festival Cheltenham⁠
⁠
We asked our exhibitors to choose 5 favourites from our Festival in Cheltenham which opens next weekend. ⁠
⁠
Here are the choices of Molly Lemon.
⁠
In her own words...⁠
⁠
Rachel Higgins Sculpture creates the most exquisite metal animal sculptures. At the beginning of each show I'm always keen to see what creatures she's brought with her.⁠
⁠
I love how Adamina and Adrian from 2 Hungry Bakers combine ceramics and wood. Their work feels modern, unique and classic all at once.⁠
⁠
Nick from The Letterpress Collective always demonstrates his craft in a fun and enthusiastic way. Using antique machines to make new and exciting art feels a little bit like magic.⁠
⁠
I'm drawn to the organic shapes and textures in Beca Beeby's jewellery. They're like little wearable sculptures.⁠
⁠
Charlotte Macey's textile creations are beautiful and practical. I think her new range of backpacks are my favourite pieces of hers to date! ⁠
⁠
See you in Cheltenham from November 17-19. ⁠
