Description: | Until recently Lizzie Farey was the Chair of the Scottish Basketmakers Association; she came to basketmaking via a circuitous route. A foundation course at Canterbury College of Art in 1979, followed by two terms at Cardiff Institute of Higher Education was time enough to make her realise she was not quite ready for formal art education. When she was 27 she watched her sister-in-law make a baby's cradle, bought two bolts of willow and began to teach herself the skills of basketmaking. She has found a craft that allows her to combine her love of nature with her love for art. Farey has attended a number of short basketmaking courses in basketmaking and recently was invited to exhibit in the Craft Council's Exhibition, Contemporary International Basketmaking shown at the Shipley Art Gallery earlier this year. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 2000 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Lizzie Farey | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
