After taking part in PEATS: The Traditional Crafts and Skills Programme with the Devetaki Plateau association in Bulgaria, I found myself thinking about handmade and household items I surround myself with in my home.
Over the past year, I have been exploring textile screen-printing, using various fabrics at PrintClan and following an experimental printmaking process. I have also been reflecting on items which I have in my Glasgow flat which were made by my grandad for me and my family.
A place for things, 43 cm x 55 cm, With pinch pots, 2023.
(Edition 1 of 1)
Taking inspiration from the book Irish Country Furniture and my grandad Danny’s carpentry memorabilia, I have created, with the help of the wood workshop at The Deep End, a shelf which reminds me of home. On these shelves I have placed small pinch pots which my mum taught me to make and which are inspired by the same ones which sit on shelves in her house
in Bristol.
