MAKER OF THE DAY

Becky Crow

Becky has been making her Illustrative jewellery since graduating from the University of Brighton in 1999. Her unique jewellery can be worn, but many pieces can also be displayed as miniature pieces of art.
Largely inspired by the great outdoors and the wonder of being in it, elements of narrative are transformed from pencil sketches into silver scenes telling out across the surface of a brooch or hanging as a pendant. They are individually hand cut in sterling silver, and textured by embossing with paper cuts, stamping and hammering. Components are layered together, soldered and finished with matt, oxidised and polished surfaces, to add depth and tone. Finally the addition of gold leaf in certain ranges brings colour and highlights details.

    The Capital of Craft Podcast with Cathryn Gwynn

    Craft Festival Wales Special

    I met Cathryn Gwynn at her home studio in Cilgerran, a village near Cardigan in West Wales. 

    Her early life in Cardiff led her to a career in writing, editing and finally teaching at Preseli School. She later began an access course in art, leading to a degree in Textiles from Carmarthen School of Art in 2020.

    Text, texture and textile: three words which reflect sher practice as a mixed-media artist. She is drawn to thread, pen, ink and paper and work somewhere on the cusp of these materials.

    Cathryn Wynn will be giving an illustrated talk about her work at The Capital of Craft at Craft Festival Wales at Cardigan Castle. 

    Her work is part of an exhibition of 8 important Welsh makers at Canfas Gallery in Cardigan. Woven, curated by Suzi Park from Cambrian Wool, runs from September 5-October 5th.
