Cutting edge contemporary craft at the Courtyard

The fourteenth Hereford Contemporary Craft Fair comes to The Courtyard Centre for the Arts this weekend (November 16, 17 and 18), with an upbeat and stylish show of the finest national and regional makers in top quality designer craft.

Hereford itself is home to a wide range of talented makers, including Rozie Keogh, Bronwen Tyler-Jones, Helen Brice Designs and Anya Keeley. Jewellers Duncan Hill and Will Evans also practice within the city, and with such diversity, Hereford can claim a natural affinity with contemporary designer craft.
