Great British Makers – putting Britain on the map for craft & design
Posted on 27 July 2012 by Seek & Adore Team
With our Great British Makers competition well under way it’s time to take a closer look at the people behind the products: our designer-makers. Throughout this competition we have been championing the work of Britain’s designer-makers and the skills and techniques they employ to create such beautiful and unique pieces. Designer-makers at Seek & Adore can be found across the British Isles. Inspired by their local surroundings, they often use and reclaim natural resources to create pieces which are truly special, items that have a real and personal connection to the area in which they live.
Leading the way this week is wood-turner Jennifer McDowell. From Surrey, Jennifer uses locally reclaimed wood to create beautiful and unique pieces for the home. Live in Surrey? Support local craft and design in your area and take a look at our Surrey-based designer makers here.
