The Department has been busy over Christmas preparing for a new exhibition which will bring together for the first time the images and words of craftspeople met by Nick on journeys across Britain, Ireland, the Hudson Valley and Naples (mainly on two-wheels).
The exhibition will be held in the Jubilee Gallery at the Devon Guild of Craftsmen in Bovey Tracey from Saturday 18 January to Sunday 8 March.
Join us for the launch party Sunday 19 January 2pm to 5pm
Journeyman is Nick’s latest journey from Land’s End to John o’Groats on a bicycle with a printing press on the back, printing all the way from the factories and workshops of British makers. The exhibition will include images from this journey together with stories from more than 10 years of travelling and talking to makers, artists and craftspeople.
There will be maps, photography, original artworks and some of the products from craftspeople and the gallery will be filled with the voices of the makers talking about their craft from a showreel of selected photofilms made by Nick. Here are Luke Ives Pontifell and Kay Anderson to give you a preview.
