Winter Wood'n'Things

23 July to 17 August 2010

Wood is always a great favorite with those artists & craftspeople who use it in their work and with those who appreciate it for the unique attributes that it brings to an object – whether a functional or a decorative object.

The aim of the exhibition is to highlight the versatility of wood as a material, its inherent beauty, the diversity of its application and the innovation and quality of craftsmanship of those working in wood.

Artists & craftspeople are invited to participate in this exhibition that celebrates the diversity and versatility of wood.
