Dear Students, 
When you pass the Craft Study Centre on your way out, venture in and have a good look at the ephemeral, sculptural works of Caroline Sharp.  



The Crafts Study Centre is delighted to announce the exhibition by Caroline Sharp: Land-Line-Form
from 11 March until 26 April


In her sculptural assemblage works, landscape architect and artist Caroline Sharp uses a variety of natural materials including her own charcoal, clay, chalk, willow, poplar, birch, hazel, dogwood stems and leaves. Her main focus is on sustainability and treading the land gently.
Much of her woven work is strongly influenced by natural form, containment and movement. More recently, Caroline has explored ideas in response to the craft of charcoal burning and her autobiographical journey in relation to walking the land and the memory of place.



I am particularly interested in how these fragile and autobiographical  works are informed by walking, landscape and place. Perhaps you could have a think about this too and let me know your thoughts when I see you next.

Sam
