The Capital of Craft 20th Anniversary of Craft Festival Season
To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Craft Festival Bovey Tracey in June, here is the 4th season of The Capital of Craft hosted by me, Sarah James MBE. I am the director of Craft Festival and Find a Maker.
Margo Selby is one of the UK's most celebrated and successful textile artists. Back in 2008, Margo was awarded Best New Business.
Since then she has built an impressive portfolio of creative work and working collaboratively with leading high street brands.
Her latest work, the spectacular moon landing; her first site-specific installation, created in collaboration with composer Helen Caddick, was debuted at Collect at Somerset House in March 2024.
Margo will be joining us at Craft Festival Bovey Tracey on June 8th. She will be running a workshop at Make Southwest in the Morning. In the afternoon, she will be giving a talk about her work in the Out of the Woods tent at Craft Festival. The talk is free and cannot be booked in advance.
Margo talks with me from her studio in Whitstable.
