May 2013 Oxfordshire Artweeks

Once again, Antiques and Crafts on High is highlighting in Oxfordshire Artweeks the quality craftsmanship in the Craft Gallery.  Ten artists and designer-makers, covering a huge variety of media, present their work their work in Site 69. 

With modern, stylish jewellery, Rosemary Zeeman (Oxfordshire Craft Guild member) shows her intricate enamelling work, Barbara Goodbun makes necklaces, bangles etc from both semiprecious stones and recycled pieces, while Rose Hallam's (OCG Member) earrings, necklaces, cuff links and brooches feature pictures of Oxford scenes in her photomontages and rolled beads.  Ceramics  features in the work of maker and teacher (and OCG Member) Jane Hanson with her amazing shapes and glazes, and Jane Donnelly with her painted mugs.  Bowls and platters (and tealights holders, paperweights and bottle stoppers) also feature in the work of woodturner and OCG Member, Richard Shock, while Richard Loadman is showing his glass bowls and dishes. 

Craftsmanship is not limited to 3D work as is shown in the paintings and prints of Rosie Howlett (Oxford Art Society member), featuring local scenes in superb detail, and the colourful acrylics and prints of Ali Clements, also in many cases of Oxford scenes and subjects. Last but not least, Tania Norman is showing her one-off pieces for fashion and home, each one being handcrafted and including silk scarves, ties, bow ties, and glass cases. 

Crafts on High will be an Artweeks site during the entire festival, 4 - 27 May, with at least one of the makers on hand in the shop during all opening hours (10 - 5 every day, except Sunday 11 - 5).  They are more than happy to talk about their own work - and usually knowledgeable about the work of the other makers.  As today's antiques were made by yesterday's craftsmen (and women, but usually men!) our makers can often give insights into how the antiques were made.

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

We accept all major credit cards.

Opening hours are 10am to 5pm
(11am to 5pm Sundays and Bank Holidays)
