Description
Eleanor Lakelin and Alison Crowther are two female artists at the forefront of contemporary craft, working in wood. They discuss their practices and creative interests.
This is part of the talk series associated with London Craft Week's debut exhibition Scorched.
Guest curated by Sarah Myerscough, Scorched is an exhibition of scorched wood pieces by leading contemporary artists and designers. The traditional process of shou-sugi-ban, otherwise known as yakisugi, is a technique originating from Japan in the 18th century which involves the slight charring of the surface of wood. Although it carries a strong cultural significance, this exhibition comes from a clear Western perspective.
