Fiona was selected to join exhibitors drawn from multiple disciplines in “an impressive array of heartfelt craft, designed and made with talent, precision and passion”. This showcase for Design-Nation members proved a busy week with a range of online events. Artists shared their latest practice developments from inside their studios and discussed what great craft meant to them. All events were recorded and can be found on the Design-Nation website - please contact me for access to the talks.

On My Workbench Zoom chats with Diane Griffin, Emily Jo Gibbs, Fiona J Sperryn, Samantha Sweet, Sarah Burton and Valerie Wartelle from inside each artist’s studio.

Talk: What Makes Good Modern Craft? Hayley Banks hosts Amy Leigh, Diane Griffin, Emily Jo Gibbs, Fiona J Sperryn, Jacky Puzey, Linda Bloomfield and Lucy MacDonald of Arra Textiles.
