    MEDIA RELEASE: Craft Scotland and VAS showcase material mastery in wood by Scotland based makers Three of Scotland's most exciting artists present their work in the third Craft Scotland celebrates... exhibition as part of ALIGHT at Royal Scottish Academy In the third of a planned series celebrating craft mediums Craft Scotland is delighted once again to be partnering with Visual Arts Scotland (VAS) to celebrate contemporary woodworking through a presentation of multidisciplinary works from gifted Scotland based makers. This year Craft Scotland has chosen to explore wood through the diverse work of three makers: Charlotte Barker, Beth Legg and Naomi Mcintosh. Their work is presented alongside hirta, a modular structure that acts as a focus for discussion around materiality, design and making. Challenging the common perceptions of wood, this year the Craft Scotland celebrates... wood showcase highlights the versatility of wood as a craft material, and the diversity of applications it can be adapted to. Selected by the VAS committee and representatives of Craft Scotland, the three invited artists will form the starting point for a wider celebration of the diverse discipline of contemporary woodworking throughout the ALIGHT exhibition. A sense of movement is offered by Charlotte Barker, the wood’s natural texture contrasting with the controlled markings of her ceramic vessels. Beth Legg’s objects and jewellery are rooted in the poetic nature of metal, wood and stone and her fascination with hinterlands while Naomi Mcintosh’s designs explore volume, pattern and movement. Speaking ahead of the exhibition opening Craft Scotland Director Irene Kernan said: “Our media-specific showcases were born out of Craft Scotland and Visual Arts Scotland's mutual ambition to exhibit high-quality craft, alongside works of fine art, in a venue fitting of its stature.

  • ANNUAL REVIEW April 2016 - March 2017
    ANNUAL REVIEW April 2016 - March 2017 SUPPORTING MAKERS PROMOTING CRAFT 1 was delighted to become Chair of Craft Scotland last year, and I am grateful for the excellent work done by my predecessor Jacquie Edwards. In 2016/17 we delivered a series of successful exhibitions and events, gathered feedback from the sector, and assessed new opportunities and funding sources to create a dynamic strategic plan for the next three years. Driving this long term strategy is our mission to make Scotland a place where craft is valued as culturally significant, essential to our economy and meaningful to our communities. I would like to thank my fellow Board members for their invaluable insights and support, and particularly our Director Fiona Logue and her talented team. Their hard work, creativity and commitment has delivered so much in a busy year, and their imagination and ambition is shaping a progressive and exciting future. - Catherine Holden · Chair he talent, vitality and spirit of the Scottish craft sector never Tceases to amaze me. A priority for us during 2016, the Year of Innovation, Architecture and Design, was to focus on opening up the audience for craft. We did this through highlighting the innovation and design in makers’ practices. Our events have placed quality Scottish craft in front of enthusiastic retail consumers, trade buyers, design specialists and audiences who are new to craft. To celebrate our makers and advance Scottish craft, we enhanced last year’s programme with the addition of two high-profile exhibitions at London Design Fair and the American Craft Council’s prestigious Baltimore show.

  • Craft Scotland Showcases World Class Glass Made in Scotland
    MEDIA RELEASE: Craft Scotland showcases world class glass made in Scotland Three of Scotland's most exciting glass artists present their work as part of OPEN at Royal Scottish Academy In the second of a planned series celebrating craft mediums Craft Scotland is delighted once again to be partnering with Visual Arts Scotland to celebrate contemporary glass through a presentation of multidisciplinary works from gifted Scottish makers. This year they have chosen to present the work of three artists working in contemporary glass in very different ways: Alan Horsely, Carrie Fertig and Jeff Zimmer. Challenging the common perceptions of glass, the showcase highlights the diversity of glass techniques and styles in a dramatic presentation. Selected by the VAS committee and a representative of Craft Scotland, the three invited glass artists will form the starting point for a wider celebration of the diverse discipline of glass throughout the open exhibition. Alan Horsey's sculptural works in part take the form of fragmented artefacts, while Jeff Zimmer's haunting pieces using photography and mirroring explore ambiguity, morality and mortality in contemporary society and politics. Carrie Fertig's interdisciplinary practice includes The Great and The Good, both object and film and her spinning mirrored lamb shows a distorted view of the observer and their environment. Speaking ahead of the exhibition opening Craft Scotland Director Fiona Logue said: 'Our media-specific showcases were born out of Craft Scotland and Visual Arts Scotland's mutual ambition to exhibit high-quality craft alongside works of fine art in a venue fitting of its stature. I hope this celebration of contemporary glass, showing the myriad of ways glass can be used in a creative context, will captivate and grow appreciation of the beauty of the medium.'

Union.Gallery.Edinburgh Henry Jabbour This Life to Me 03.03.17 - 01.04.17 UNIONgallery 'Who lifteth up the spirit, Say, who is he?' 'Who gave in the beginning This life to me.’ Jalal El-Din Rumi (1207 -1273) This Life to Me When Henry Jabbour entered Leith School of Art in 2005 to take an evening class in drawing and painting, in order to gain some respite from a busy life working as a senior scientist with the Medical Research Council, he could not have imagined the journey that lay before him. Henry’s engagement with art soon took hold and deepened to the point where he gave up his career to focus on painting, joining the Painting Course at Leith School of Art. After two years of intensive study, Henry was ready for post graduate work at the New York Academy of Art and has since been working as an artist full-time, from his garden studio in Cambridge. It is reasonable to imagine that an extensive training in science and post graduate art studies at New York’s traditional academy might lead to an objective approach to looking, underpinned by a rationalist philosophy. Not so Henry Jabbour, whose painting is made from a reaction to his subject matter rather than a mere depiction. It is a reaction that is raw and strongly felt, a rich sensibility that is then immersed in the paint, the printmaker’s ink, oil pastel and drawing materials.
