Craft, Inspiration And Information On Demand – Past, Present and Future.

July 5, 2015July 5, 2015 John - Gentleman Crafter15 Comments

Having been involved in producing recorded and live TV shows, aswell as online media, about arts and crafts for over twelve years it’s interesting to see how the media sector is developing in relation to my/our favourite pastime.

There have been a few mainstream TV shows that have ‘made it’ into the psyche of the general public, think Sewing Bee, The Joy Of Painting and Watercolour Challenge, however for the dedicated creatives, what is changing now that media is becoming so accessible?Read More »

March 18, 2015April 16, 2015 John - Gentleman Crafter8 Comments

Ok, so I remembered to do this post. This is a good thing when you consider that just lately my brain appears to be melting away.

I’ll wander from one room to another and think, “now, what did I come in here for?” and then I’ll remember several hours later.Read More »

Exclusive Interview With Katie Young, Glass Blower - 1

Exclusive Interview With KT Yun, Glass Artist

June 15, 2014June 15, 2014 John - Gentleman Crafter8 Comments

Never have I been more excited than when I was put in touch with glass blowing artist, KT Yun. This chance opportunity led to an exclusive interview just for my little old blog :)

KT Yun is one of the talented craftspeople who has created the beautiful pieces of artwork in the new print advertising campaign for KETTLE® Chips which celebrates the care and attention taken to create the nation’s favourite hand cooked crisps.

KT is originally from the Scottish Highlands near Loch Ness and studied a National Diploma in Design in Carlisle before eventually relocating to the South of England to study Glass Art at UCA Farnham. KT now lives and works on the Somerset/Wiltshire border where she runs a glass studio and also creates products for other glass artists to use.

Following my initial gushy silliness at talking to such an accomplished glass artist I actually got around to nervously asking KT some questions.

Inkadinka-Doily – An Inkadinkado Stamping Gear Creation

October 9, 2013October 9, 2013 John - Gentleman Crafter28 Comments

I’ve been having another play with the Inkadinkado Stamping Gear and came to the conclusion that quite a few of the designs that I was making looked like doilys, so I thought that I would explore this route and see what I could create.
