for buying antiques. Twenty five friendly dealers offer

Today's
antiques were yesterday's crafts. The

of local craftspeople covering ceramics, jewellery, woodturning,
glass, wraps and paintings. It includes work by members
of the Oxfordshire

Our designer-makers and artists come into their own in May as Crafts on High is again an Oxfordshire Artweeks site (Number 219).
There are practical and useful pieces such as bowls in ceramics, glass
and wood, always made with design flair and so different from
mass-produced tableware, These are complimented by painted
items of treen, tealight holders, bags and mugs.
Original artwork for your wall space includes paintings in acrylic and watercolour as well as two-dimensional textile art.
Jewellery
and fine clothes are the basis of some of the oldest craftsmanship in
the world; Crafts on High is offering work for wearing, be it silk
painted ties and scarves or jewellery based on traditional silver
smithing and enamelling, beading, or unique photomontage work of
Oxford scenes. Our people also care about the environment; our wood
turner uses mainly locally-sourced timber, vegetable dyes are chosen
for some of our textiles and one of our artists upcycles broken
jewellery to create unique and show stopping adornments. We are proud
of our range of greetings cards, some hand painted or embellished and
others prints of the artists’ original paintings.
Come and
see what our ten makers get up to with wide ranges of work and prices.
Don’t forget that many of our makers will also work oncommissions.

are right in the heart of Oxford,located at 85 High Street,
opposite Queen’s College and two minutes walk from
Magdalen Bridge.
