Inspired in Bristol

Inspired at Ashton Court Estate, Bristol

I don’t often do things in Bristol, the city where I live, but this weekend I’m taking part in ‘Inspired’ a group show in the Hayloft Gallery, Ashton Court Estate in Bristol. The exhibition runs from 20 – 28 October open 10-4 daily.

The focus of this exhibition is furniture, but there are a few other designer-makers thrown in for good measure including painting, enamelling (me), photography, ceramics. The furniture is really great and includes cabinets, boxes, tables and even guitars. The setting of Ashton Court Estate is wonderful.

I’ve just got a bit of wall space and a window sill, but in a very short space of time I think I did a good job of displaying my work.

I’m also showing a few new pieces including this panel ‘Landscape’ in large size (RRP £260).

The following furniture is on display at the exhibition – I took the photos before it was labelled and so am unable to attribute the furniture – but look how great it all looks!
