Crafts CouncilDirectoryAsh & Plumb

'Archetypes' exhibition at The Scottish Gallery in Edinburgh, UK.

Our debut solo exhibition of over 70 pieces. We find ourselves fascinated with the language of form, with the way we as individuals imbue vessels with qualities that conjure characterful and deeply human archetypes and how we chose to live and interact with those works This show is for us a representation of our journey through woodcraft so far as well as a celebration of the material and making process itself. Exhibition is open between 2nd to 23rd December 2021
