Made by Hand was a joyful weekend of the best contemporary craft
4000 happy visitors came to Made by Hand. More people than ever enjoyed meeting 135 of the country's finest designer makers and shopping was at the top of the agenda.
More people than ever took part in our workshops and masterclasses
Our workshop programme was provided by Cardiff Learning and Make it Wales. Our childrens's workshops were provided by Llantarnam Grange Arts Centre and Kings Monkton School.
Spellbound audiences watched masterclasses by potter, Walter Keeler and woodturner, Mark Sanger.
Demonstrations of craft were sprinkled throughout the event, giving our visitors to have insight to how things were made.
We'd like to introduce you to our craft award winners..
Congratulations to Treefall Design (Best Stand), Bonner Leather (Craft Excellence), Christian Ryan (Best Maker in Wales) The Cat in the Shoe (Showcase Award) and Sue Hanna (Best Ceramics). Huge thanks to our award sponsors Potclays, madebyhandonline.com and Llantarnam Grange Arts Centre.
AND The Pottery Showdown proved that clay and carpet can get along just fine!
Huge thanks to Matt, Jane, Major Tm and Jim, the students of Cardiff School of Art, our amazing volunteers, Margo Schmidt and the irrepressible Billy Adams, not forgetting Potclays for the loan of all the kit and clay. You did us proud!
