CCN Celebrate Their 25th Anniversary!

All that glitters is not gold - the CCN celebrate their 

Silver Anniversary  

The Contemporary Crafts Network will be celebrating 25 years of beautifully crafted work in the ‘Silver’ exhibition at the Sam ScorerGallery, Drury Lane, Lincoln from 23rd July to 4th August.

The CCN, originally called Lincolnshire and Humberside Contemporary Crafts, formed in 1988 with an aim to create a self supporting exhibiting group. Over time their numbers grew and they achieved notable success exhibiting in galleries across the East Midlands and Europe so changed their name to reflect their expanding catchment area. The members now encompass a wide range of ages from talented new graduates to skilled and experienced crafts people, all specialists in their chosen fields which include an extensive variety of materials such as glass, silver, ceramics, metals, paper, felt and textiles.

The group is always inspired by new themes and members are encouraged to use many different methods and techniques in their own individual interpretations. The ‘Silver’ exhibition promises a sparkling collection of unique and finely crafted items and the group has been working hard to produce items in celebration of this special event.

One of the founder members Peter Moss, a well known Ceramicist and Arts and Creative Industries Consultant, will officially open the exhibition for the Private View on Saturday 27^th July between 2 - 4 pm. Entrance to the gallery is free - all welcome.
