Megan's Art Space

Last month I started a new segment where shared the work of artists and designers who are based in the South West. Traditional making is so important in the art world more than ever and designers enhancing traditional skills like wood turning, ceramics etc are making a come back. In the next segment of Crafted in Cornwall I am sharing the work of creatives who use found objects, make beautiful, intricate pieces of jewellery from parts of the Cornish Coast and are using traditional dying process to make one off pieces of work Becky Short: Of Land and Sea Designs  Becky creates small pieces of beautiful memories with her approach to jewellery design.

It's been so rewarding and lovely to connect with people who have a similar interest, whether it be subject matter or medium.

I am not going to call this a block, I've just had a lot going on...finishing first year, moving house, travelling here, there and everywhere and working on several exciting projects which I can't wait to share with you.

Oh Comley Walk, Francli Way back in June I made my way to Lizard with other creative people who have a passion for all things outdoors. Oh Comely had teamed up Francli to put on a walk to bring people together to appreciate the great outdoors. The walk took place at Lizard Point and we walked around 7 miles in the rain and fog.
