MAKER OF THE DAY

Gilly Langton

A designer/maker with a passion for combining mixed materials to create unique one of a kind & batch production pieces of jewellery.

With a background in traditional silversmithing & jewellery, Gilly’s preference to making is very much hand on, manipulating metals through the fabrication of forms, usually architecturally inspired shapes, hand tooling marks upon the metal to create surface & texture, combining the strength of the metal with the softness of hand dyed elastic, creating jewellery pieces with a unique colour palette.

Whether you choice to buy a String necklace or One of a Kind Neckpiece, each and every piece in Gilly’s collections have their own iconic style.

    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.

    Something to look forward to

    SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TOHello! I hope this finds you well? I've been a bit unwell recently. Nothing too serious, but a cough and a couple of colds and then some light food poisoning, has left me feeling pretty low. And I don't think I am alone. There is a huge amount to worry about at the moment and finding joy can seem difficult and a little trite to mention. I do, however, like to put lots of things in the diary, sometimes too much, I know! But, having something to look forward to is so important to me. I genuinely feel that Craft Festival is a safe space for us all to experience joy and I hope you will join me in June in Bovey.  This week’s newsletter is dedicated to makers of furniture and wood at Craft Festival Bovey Tracey. Carved, turned, woven, bent, sculpted and hand-finished. From beautifully made furniture to functional objects and striking statement pieces, these works showcase the warmth, versatility and enduring appeal of wood.All made by hand. Book Your Tickets and workshops hereYou can also sign up to volunteer now, keep scrolling for details.Look forward to meeting you at Bovey.  Best wishes,Sarah James MBE
