Gather-ing Somerset Art Weeks Festival 2015

Working in partnership with Craftspace and The National Trust, Gather-ing showcases contemporary craft: makers, skills, materials and thinking in the context of ‘Momentum’. Artists Stewart Easton, Jacky Oliver, Helen Snell, Gillian Widden have been commissioned to create new work in a Tythe Barn at Stoke-sub-Hamdon Priory (venue 35).
The resulting project, Gather-ing seeks to inspire and challenge audiences, and raise the quality of craft made and seen in Somerset. By engaging craft practitioners with a track record of excellence and ability, we aim to make creative, imaginative and innovative responses to the site and brief.
