Crafts Council Directory

Posted by cmgaylard on May 6, 2022 at 9:50 AM

I’ve got a profile in the Crafts Council Directory! I remember looking up Makers as a student many years ago. I shall be adding in new glass created for exhibitions later this year once I’ve unpacked back into my studio from another happy stint at the Quay. A reminder if you saw me there, that I am doing a single Open Studio weekend this June if you would like to see more.

April 2022

April portmanteau post...Spring arrives at last and I have taken a case of my work to a new gallery in Diss called Octagon Contemporary Crafts. I also took a print workshop in early April with Annette Rolston as I wanted to revisit some work based on caddisfly cases and enjoyed developing it into one of the collections I took to The Quay Gallery. I was very taken by drypoint etching as it suits my love of detail an...

Highlights! Back to the workbench after a spring-clean, full posts on Facebook or Instagram. Some transcendent weather along the coast. Two exhibitions: Gold of the Great Steppe in the Fitzwilliam, Cambridge - tiny marvels. Grayson Perry The Pre-therapy Years at Sainsbury Centre, Norwich: marvels of frankness, experimentation and surface pattern. A Tiger Eye ring for Year of the Tiger and the William Blake poem, The Tyger. A...

Best Nine 2021

Posted by cmgaylard on December 31, 2021 at 12:55 PM

There is an App that delivers your nine most popular posts on Instagram in the form of a collage. I decided to take matters into my own hands when my most popular posts one year were photos of a tree and a passionflower - that I most certainly did not make.
