Craft means
‘items lovingly made with the human hand from raw materials with traditional
craftsmanship’. I believe hand
crafted designs are making a comeback from textiles, jewellery to printmaking and
artworks.
Designs can
be functional as well as decorative, often with a great story behind it. A new
term ‘the new design’, represents us the craftsperson, hobbyist, artist,
designer and artisan.
At Etelage
we are seeing a strong demand for quality, unique and beautiful bespoke
designs. This trend I believe is a strong backlash to mass produced ‘must haves’
or status symbols.
Jewellery
making is a relatively inexpensive hobby requiring only a few tools required to
get started. Beads can be easily stored and are portable. There are two basic
techniques in jewellery making: stringing and linking.
Once
you have mastered the techniques you can create your own amazing pieces. Why
not make your own Christmas gifts or revamp your old jewellery or inherited
treasures?
So
why not be a part of ‘the new design’ craft generation embracing traditional
skills and adding a modern interpretation?
Create
your own breathtaking designs, blending a traditional skill with your own
modern interpretation.
