    2017 was the first year that The Byre Gallery was a sponsor of the Contemporary Craft Festival at Bovey Tracey -  one of the country's best contemporary craft events and a must-visit destination for me every year.

    Reflected Glory
    Ruth Shelley's stunning glass in every exhibition since The Byre opened. At the 2015 International Glass Biennale, Ruth was awarded the Glass Sellers' Maker Award; her new work has been accepted for this year's event which is held at the end of August and, having had a quick preview, I feel sure it will net her another award.

    Wood Works
    'Out of the Woods' our first exhibition of 2017,  perhaps not surprisingly, features both trees and wood among the art and craft on display - both as subject matter and raw material.  We're delighted to welcome Kerry Harding and Lizzie Farey to the Byre Gallery for the first time. Kerry is drawn to the scenery around her home in west Cornwall and delights in capturing the way that the violence of the elements can soften even the hardest of parts of landscape.

    Out of the Picture has now been open for a couple of weeks and I'm so enjoying being in the gallery space - I love every new exhibition but the blue walls of this one are particularly pleasing to be surrounded by. I'm always delighted when the pieces of craft I've chosen for the exhibition work with the colour; I want to create a space which both enhances the individual pieces and creates a cohesive feel and doesn't diminish the impact of the work. No matter how much planning I do in advance there is always a fear that something will just not work and undermine the overall look - fingers crossed, it's always been ok so far!

    A visit to the magical garden of ceramicist Pauline Lee, in the most beautiful setting on the edge of Dartmoor.
