Where as in
other shops, you may find the same products repeated over and over again, at
Debbie Bryan our designers, makers and artists create limited
edition pieces that are just for us at our Lace Market shop and our Heritage cabinets at
Nottingham Castle, Newstead Abbey and Wollaton Park.
We thought
that in this festive time of giving and receiving, we’d give thanks to all of
our talented designer-makers, and give recognition to their fantastic work in
our shop... and it’s quite a long list... deep breath... here it goes...
We’d like to
thank illustrator Corrina Rothwell for her black and white photography and
digital illustrations of the Lace Market and of Nottingham Castle. These
limited edition pieces which feature Rothwell's signature sense of humour are
available to purchase at our shop and Nottingham Castle.
We’d like to
recognise Nicki Dennett for her beautiful collagraph prints. Nicki is a very
talented print maker who we’ve enjoyed both from her artwork and from her
workshops, such as Speed Craft! There will be another workshop with Nicki
Dennett on the 22nd June.
Next, we’d
like to highlight Claire Gage’s lace mugs, which have been a wonderful addition
to our shop and very interesting pieces for the season of LACE:HERE:NOW.
Claire’s work is more than just a tribute to her own talent and our shop, but
also to the great heritage of Nottingham and the Lace Market.
Debbie Bryan
Studio & Shop would like to recognise Katie Almond for her stunning ceramic
work. These limited pieces can add something extra special to any home, and
certainly stand out in our shop. Katie Almond’s work is also available in
Nottingham Castle and includes work inspired by the Castle and Nottingham's
Lace Heritage.
We’re almost
sold out of the fantastic work created by Emma Britton. Her limited edition
lace coasters have been best sellers in our shop, and we’d like to thank her
for these beautiful pieces. But not to worry, there are still a very nice
collection of Emma Britton coasters and surface protectors for sale at the shop.
Julia Church’s
lace inspired pyrography jewellery has been yet another tribute to the great
heritage of Nottingham’s Lace Market. We’d like to thank her for the wonderful
work she’s produced for our shop.
The paper
panels produced by Joy Norman have been fantastic pieces to display and sell in
our shop. Her work is always rich in texture and pattern and we’re very
thankful to have her wonderful work decorating our creative space.
Kit
Anderson’s photographic tiles really are something to stop and enjoy. Kit fixes
her photography onto the surface of ceramics to create truly beautiful results.
We’re extremely happy to have featured her unique and interesting creations.
We’d also
like to recognise the work of J.C Middlebrook for her exquisite napkins, which
are inspired by the gates on Nottingham Castle. These napkins are available in
the shop at the Castle Gallery Shop, as well as our shop, were you will also
find delicate lace jewellery.
Stevie Davis
is another very talented designer-maker that you’re sure to remember from Speed
Craft. Her wonderful and unique glass work is sure to shatter your heart.
Stevie will also be holding a workshop with Debbie Bryan 19th
January 2013, so book you place before they’re all gone.
Alys Power is
an amazing jeweller, who has created many
treasures for our shop. Alys’ work is created using reclaimed, reused,
reinvented and recycled materials, so she’s a friend to us and to the
environment. Alys will be hosting a pendant and brooch workshops with us on the
16th March.
Sarah Allen
is a hand-weaver who has hand dyed our locally made Nottingham lace. Sarah then
added adds these beautiful lace trims to her hand-made fabric purses, which we love
showing off in our shop.
Illustrator Lucy
Anne Harding is usually inspired by her family business and the days of being
on her father's milk round, but just for us she created a collection
exclusively for Wollaton Park. If you’re curious you should visit over the
Christmas holidays.
Another
amazing illustrator is Laurie Woodruff who spent a day at Wollaton’s industrial
museum, after which she created a series of hand-finished limited edition
prints of the lace machine house at the museum. These detailed pieces really
capture our local history.
Don’t forget
that unique, one-of-a-kind work by Debbie Bryan herself can always be found in
our own Lace Market shop, as well as at Nottingham Castle, Wollaton Park, Newstead Abbey with a selected collection at Nottingham
Contemporary too!
