HOME GROWN: Rising stars at Salts Mill
THESE hand enamelled copper bowls, £120 each, are by new graduate Georgia Rose West. They are part of the Youth Movement New Graduate Show at Kath Libbert Jewellery Gallery, which starts on November 14.
The gallery at Salts Mill has staged the event for the past 15 years. Kath visits all the graduate shows and selects makers she believes show talent.
This year, she also chose work by Rosie Deegan who was inspired by a set of cabinet makers tools given to Sir Terence
Conran as an 80th birthday gift. Hers are part a political statement about gender stereotypes and part decoration.
Using traditional jewellery making techniques, she crafted tools from glass, wood and precious metals and stones.
Kath Libbert Gallery is at Salts Mill, Saltaire and is open Monday to Friday, 10am-5.30pm. Weekends 10am-6pm.
