New Experience!

Our lovely stall

Hi,

Today I was a part of a wonderful event in Bolton, Saint Andrew’s Court contemporary art and craft fair. Mine and fellow contemporary crafter Leah Fletcher’s stall ‘Contemporary Craft by Leah Fletcher and Lucy Harding’; looked really good, clean and very well thought out. Even though we didn’t actually sell anything, the experience was a fantastic. We now have a foundation stock that we can keep adding too and sell. Hopefully we are going to have another craft fair very soon, and also very exciting news that I start my residency at the beginning of October at Smithy Studios, Glossop.

Finally Finished!!

Hello!

My hand in date has been and gone! The few days running up to it were very exhausting, and I have now had a couple of days to recover due to the lack of sleep.

I am very happy with the end result, I have worked so hard and just hope it pays off. The work up for assessment looks really good, clean and exciting!

In the end I created-  two different types of cup cosies, ones with my pattern that fit a normal sized coffee cup and ones that fit my ceramic cups with digital print. 

I also had four final wall pieces two with my digital and appliqued milk man, which are my favourite and the other two are bigger and have my screen print as the background. I also appliqued a milk man’s overall jacket with a couple of milkmen which I really like as well.

My upcycled work looked really good as a collective of vintage ceramics and newly made ceramics. In addition I had three aprons, and also my ceramic cups on show for my assessment.

The next stage now is tomorrow I have to take my work down and then help with the 3D degree show where my work will be shown, and also this week I am going to create pieces to sell.
