My favourite show

Christmas means Wonderworks - a beautifully curated event in the Jubilee Hall in Chagford, nestling in the hills on Dartmoor. Discerning gifts for special people.

The organisers take time to select artists who use a wide range of skills, styles and materials in order to offer one of the best Christmas shopping events in the South West.

The Jubilee Hall is always buzzing as the locals know when they are on to a good thing. There is always good food on offer to ensure you will enjoy shopping locally for gifts.

Open 10-5 each day. Free Entry. Parking available beside the Hall.

I’m back at Bovey Tracey for this year’s summer Craft Festival, the South West’s finest. All my recent ceramic designs will be on display along with sterling silver pieces and it would be lovely to catch up with existing customers and new.

There are about 200 artisan makers exhibiting and the Festival never disappoints, with demonstrations, talks and ‘have a go’ workshops to attend, quality food and drink, trade and gallery stands to peruse. Parking couldn’t be easier. Given how much is on offer, buying a weekend ticket would be a great idea.

Five artists exploring nature

This will be the first outing for the designs I am developing during my MA studies at Arts University Plymouth, working primarily in ceramic and glass alongside the metals that have predominated my designs to date.

My work explores the deeply held emotions that link us to the landscape, with small precious items linking us to home.

I am exhibiting my work alongside that of painter Kerry Johnstone, textile artist Chloe Morter, studio ceramicist Helen Challinor and sculptor Matt Calder.
