Final preparations take place this weekend for our final show of the year – Designed for Christmas at the Weavers Gallery in Ledbury HR8 1DW. Ledbury is a wonderful town to visit in the run up to Christmas, with its specialist independent shops (Tinsmiths and Hus and Hem to name but two) and welcoming cafes; the perfect day out..

And you’re sure of a warm welcome in the gallery too, with two of us on hand each day. Come and meet Jo Dewar with her colourful mixed media abstract artworks, textiles and wire work, Joanne Goodwin with her distinctive silver, brass and copper jewellery and Emma Thomas with her salt-glazed stoneware and slip decorated earthenware, including jugs, bowls, mugs and plates. My son, Ben Walker will be exhibiting his ash benches, nesting sharing boards, turned bowls and fun Rudolph tree decorations and Jocelyn Perry will have her latest fine woven beadwork jewellery, statement necklaces and bracelets and festive earrings.

I will have a range of my lamps and shades including floor, table and wall lights. You’ll also find a few of my cushions and notebooks digitally printed with my own pattern designs, plus mounted handprinted linocuts and cards.

Come and see us at Weavers Gallery, Church Lane (the cobbled lane running from the Market House to the church), LEDBURY HR8 1DW from Tuesday 3 December until Saturday 14 December 2024 from 10am till 4pm. Free entry.
