Crafts Council presents: Antiques of the Future Time: 12.00 - 13.00 Speakers: Nadia-Anne Ricketts, Textile Designer, Billy Lloyd, Ceramist Sarah Myerscough, Gallery-Owner, Grant Gibson, Crafts Council Magazine Editor Location: Club Room, Gallery Level
Antiques of the Future throws the spotlight on a new generation of designers and makers creating pieces which will stand the test of time. The panel talk includes textile designer Nadia-Anne Ricketts, ceramist Billy Lloyd and gallery-owner Sarah Myerscough. It will be chaired by Crafts magazine editor Grant Gibson.
Sarah Myerscough has worked at fine art galleries across London and as an independent art consultant, working on larger corporate projects. She opened her eponymous gallery in Brooks Mews, Mayfair in 1999 as a fine art space, specialising in supporting young British graduates. She expanded in 2002 to incorporate contemporary craft and design in an effort to disrupt preconceived boundaries and encourage new-found freedoms of artistic expression. Since 2007 the gallery has focused on international fairs exhibiting in Seoul, Dubai, New York, Chicago, Miami, Basel, Geneva and Paris.
Nadia-Anne Ricketts founded her avant-garde textile label BeatWoven in 2008. Her work explores pattern, using skilfully coded audio technology as an instrument to translate and reveal the geometric patterns created by the beats and sounds in music. She has been described as ‘one of THE names in British craft,’ by critic and journalist Corinne Julius.
Billy Lloyd is an award-winning designer and maker of ceramic tableware and interior products. He creates functional pieces, which are simple and refined. Having graduated from Camberwell College of Arts in 2006, Billy assisted Lisa Hammond at Maze Hill Pottery for a year before embarking on a four year apprenticeship with acclaimed potter and writer Julian Stair. Upon winning the Cockpit Arts Award in 2011, Billy established his first independent studio. Since then, Billy has developed an innovative and ambitious style of working through a hands-on understanding of ceramic materials and processes.
Grant Gibson is a UK-based design, craft and architecture writer whose work has turned up in places like The Observer, New Statesman, The Guardian, Daily Telegraph, FRAME and Dwell. During his time Grant has been editor of Blueprint, deputy editor of FX and acting executive editor of the RIBA Journal. He’s is now currently the editor of Crafts and a contributing editor to the Dutch architecture title MARK.
