Little Moth in the Woods, etching with watercolour and gouache on Japanese paper by Ned Elliot

A curator’s talk will be held on Sunday, 14 December, from 3–4pm, exploring the central themes of the exhibition. Guests will also be guided through the works on display and have the opportunity to hear directly from the artists and design practitioners featured in Threshold.

Threshold is a three-day art exhibition from the 12th to 14th December at Bell House which will bring together six creative people whose work, whilst grounded in traditional skills, is contemporary. Whether basketry, intaglio printing or rug making, they’ve all eloquently allowed time old processes to be an intrinsic part of their creativity. 

As makers, their stories are intriguing, bridging the past and presence, and smudging traditional art preconceptions, it is these stories, threaded in their work, that brings them together into this one exhibition.

The exhibitors present for the talk are:

Tom Crowley

Vedat Demiralp, Coban Rugs

Ned Elliott

Kirsten Hecktermann

Pip Rice
