CRAFTHOUSE

About

CRAFTHOUSE is the vision of artist Cressa McLaren.

Two curated showrooms will be open within The Briggait, Glasgow. They will present contemporary craft for the home, showcasing Cressa’s decorative glassware as well many other makers from across Scotland. Each piece on display will be bespoke contemporary handmade craft from some of Scotland’s most skilful artisans. It will include furniture, pottery, textiles, lighting and glass. Exhibiting artisans include Cressa McLaren, glassmaker; Richard Owen, furniture-maker; Cat and Andy of nocomplydesign; Andy Priestman, potter; Chantal Woven, textile designer; Laura Derby, textile designer; Gvido Bolsevics, furniture maker; Stuart Campbell, furniture maker; Ceri White, potter; and Stephen Finch, furniture maker.

From Cressa: I have a real passion, love and appreciation for high-end craft. This exhibition will highlight and celebrate craft-makers from across Scotland. With CRAFTHOUSE I want to focus on contemporary makers and provide a platform to showcase the wide variety and high quality of current craft production. By presenting the works together I hope to raise awareness of this talent and create a vision of how contemporary craft can look in an interior setting.
