Curator&Maker presents renowned ceramicist and champion of makers Emma Bridgewater in conversation with collage artist Kate Black and maker of ‘plants for shade’ crafted from hand-marbled cut paper Georgia Doherty as part of its ‘As You Like It’ show featuring the work of 10 British designers and makers. The collection is inspired by Shakespeare’s play ‘As you like it’, set in the natural beauty of the Forest of Arden. The works have been inspired by lying with one’s lover under the Greenwood tree, sweethearts walking through unripe green cornfields, birds singing as they build their nests in the hedgerows, and the crowning glories of the outpouring of flowers and blossom. A celebration of new life, fecundity and hope. --- Emma Bridgewater, internationally renowned ceramicist, has long supported British-made design and craft, playing a major role in reviving the ceramics industry in Stoke-on-Trent.
Kate Black is a collagist who creates imagery in response to objects and events, inspired by social history, artefacts and artworks found in museum and gallery collections. For Curator&Maker Kate is using the discipline of dust covers from old books, which in themselves have a history, and then has created collages carefully laid out on top, depicting British hedgerow birds in their natural habitat to evoke our theme of Shakespeare’s ‘As you Like it,’ with birds singing as they build their nests in the hedgerows, and the crowning glories of the outpouring of flowers and blossom. These specially commissioned works will be a limited edition.
Georgia Doherty creates beautiful hand-cut paper flowers and leaves which she hand-paints and marbles and then magically arranges on hand-made stems in individual antique flowerpots and beautiful recycled containers to create cheery perennial ‘Plants For Shade’ – conversation pieces that need no pruning or watering. Her creations for this collection take inspiration from the plants and flowers in Shakespeare’s imagined bucolic setting. --- Tickets are £10 each. All proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to Norfolk Churches Trust, a charity close to Emma's heart. The Norfolk Churches Trust was founded in 1976 to protect churches, chapels and meeting houses of all Christian denominations in the county of Norfolk and Diocese of Norwich by offering support through advice and grants. As a charity, the Trust is entirely dependant on the generosity of our many Friends and donors who do so much to support our work. Every donation goes directly towards grants for urgent church repairs. https://norfolkchurchestrust.org.uk/
