See my work at Lanercost Priory

I’ve been invited to display my work during the ‘Craftsmen At The Priory’ exhibition at Lanercost Priory, near Carlisle. Close to Hadrian’s Wall, this is a fantastic location, with many of Cumbria’s top craftspeople showcasing their work.

It’s been a few years since I last exhibited here, although I did offer a small selection in 2012. What really appeals to me is the location, as it all takes place within the magnificent Dacre hall. Built in 1168, the hall retains most of it’s original features and still has the remnants of a 16th century mural on the end wall.

The work of fourteen makers will be featured, including watercolours by Christina Hargraves, basketry by Philip Greenhalgh and sculptures by blacksmith David Stephenson (all featured in top photo). I will be offering a broad selection of my most popular pieces including some larger ones in burr oak and yew.

The exhibition will run from 6th August until 2nd September and will be open from 10 am – 5 pm every day. The Lanercost tearooms are only a short walk away and offer a whole range of refreshments. You can find directions to the priory here.
