Jenny Pearce & Sarah Walker (Venue 86)
Contemporary and traditional baskets made with Herefordshire and Somerset willows by Jenny Pearce.
Individually designed lampshades created from plant fibre paper by Sarah Walker.
* Christmas Gift Show: Jenny and Sarah are amongst five professional craftsmen from Worcestershire and Herefordshire joining forces to stage an alternative Christmas Gift show, where everything has been designed and made locally.
Keen to encourage people to support their local businesses and keep their money within the local economy, the five (all members of the Worcestershire Guild of Designer Craftsmen) are offering genuinely creative solutions to the dreaded Christmas present list. "People are already aware that it pays to buy local when it comes to their fresh food, but few think of where their non-edible purchases come from". "Wouldn't it be wonderful if, as well as the food on your table, all the presents under your tree came from local producers this Christmas?" says Sarah Walker, the contemporary lampshade maker from Malvern.
Marie-Therese King from Eek Batik in Bransford will be showing
vibrant and fun batik works inspired by children's drawings, many
reproduced as Limited Edition giclee prints. Sarah Walker from
Malvern will be offering colourful stitched and cut artworks
alongside her unusual lamps and lampshades. Basket maker Jenny
Pearce from Canon Frome will be displaying a large selection of
baskets, bags, tables and chairs crafted from willow. Cynthia Lea
from Leigh, best known for her life-like ceramic chicken
sculptures, will be showcasing a range of pig plaques, while
Jocelyn Perry from Bewdley will be exhibiting her intricately woven
beadwork jewellery.
Prices range from £3 for a handmade card to £400 for an original
batik.
Creative Christmas Gifts in Ledbury will be held at the Weavers
Gallery in Church Lane, from 9 - 14 December 2008. It will be open
daily from 10.30am until 5.30pm.
