Society of Designer Craftsmen A warm welcome to the 23rd Annual Exhibition of the Society of Designer Craftsmen, we bring you Designer Crafts at the Mall 2013. The Society was formed as the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society in 1887 with the aim of promoting the work of craftsmen to a wider public audience. It has been 124 Years since the Society’s very first exhibition took place in 1888, at that time the exhibition was held at the New Gallery, Regent Street, London. However, the aims and objectives for the Society still remain true today and we are proud to say that exhibiting the work of our members remains one of our fundamental goals. Within the exhibition you will find a wide variety of NOTES disciplines, such as glass, metal, wood, textiles, ceramics, book arts and mixed media showcasing the skills and craftsmanship of a selected group of prominent members together with our new Licentiates selected from this year’s graduates who bring fresh ideas and approaches in their chosen craft.

As you walk around the Gallery and ‘Shop within the Show’ we hope you will find work that inspires, delights and tantalises as well as pieces that evoke quiet contemplation. An exhibition for everyone! As well as Designer Crafts at the Mall 2013, the Society is currently exhibiting the work of selected members in a collaborative exhibition with the William Morris Gallery, Walthamstow, London, entitled ‘Everyday Encounters’. The exhibition is currently running until February 3rd 2013. For further information contact the William Morris Gallery www.wmgallery.org.uk Dawn Thorne & Christine Dove Curators 03

Gary Betts specialises in contemporary figurative sculpture made of porcelain. His work is often described as enigmatic but his inspiration comes from his childhood growing up on the edge of Epping Forest.

Living in Pennine Yorkshire, I am surrounded by inspirational landscape. Using a range of ceramic techniques, my artistic response tries to mirror the range of its beauty, complexity and diversity.

My current work consists of hand-built functional and sculptural forms in porcelain and smoke-fired earthenware.

In an attempt to challenge the normal concept of ceramics having a “proper place”,  my current work, explores the use of ceramics to produce items of adornment inspired buy the female form. Using the body as canvas to communicate these ideas.

My work is hand built using the simplest tools. Sea forms, strata, fossils or fungi inspire unique ethereal, translucent vessels, wall installations and tiny pinched objects. I celebrate risky delicate qualities of high fired porcelain.

Sonya explores the notion of ‘still life’ within a craft medium. Everyday containers are transformed; cast in porcelain with precious inclusions, or explored in pate de verre glass, raku and smoke firing.

This series of work explores the theme ‘A Sense of Place’. Using maps as inspiration, landscapes and architectural images are interpreted with fabric, stitch and texture. Commissions undertaken.

Recently I have been experimenting by mixing fibres which felt firmly with those which are resistant to felting, to capture the spirit of a place or object and build a sculptural effect to enable the fabric to gain more colour depth and tactile interest.

I use textile techniques such as stitching, weaving and threading to create intricately constructed surfaces with both tactile and visual appeal.

I paint on silk to express my feelings from experiences of the world, using free hand drawing, monoprint, wood blocks, lino cuts and applying dyes like water colour techniques.

Contemporary use of the traditional craft of rag rugging. Using original tools and colourful, vibrant wools and fibres I create rugs, cushions, hats, flowers and a range of jewellery.

Scenes to capture the vibrancy of the English country side are created from layering mixed media and free machine embroidery.

My practice embraces the beauty of imperfection, commentating on the detail not the whole. In altering the scale, tension, juxtaposing the physical and philosophical aspects, I create a new whole.

I continue to indulge my passion for landscape in these machine embroideries. Contrasts in light and shade are explored through densely stitched surfaces. Commissions, exhibitions and residencies welcomed.

Yumiko creates her original Stitch-Drawings using a sewing machine. She is working series of “Mother and Child”, “Black Rain Never Again” (about Hiroshima Atomic Bomb), “Anorexia” and “portraits of women”.

For this work I was inspired by the forms and structures of coral. My technique is based on machine knitting which I de-construct and then re-construct using stitch.

Hand printed textiles using folded paper and workshop residues to create layers of colour and visual information. Images might be familiar sillhouttes of structures and the natuaral world distorted and merged.

Using hand and machine stitch as a means of markmaking, my work is usually narrative, slightly surreal, and built in layers; of time, of thought, of fabric, and of stitch.
