Hi Rebecca

I think you probably know that I’m working at Making Space at the moment? I’m contacting you about a workshop coming up on 22 June which I thought may be of interest to students. It’s called ‘Photographing Your Craft’ and is aimed at people who want to take high quality photographs of their work. It’s run by photographer Matthew Cleveland and will provide the basic knowledge and skills needed for photographing craft objects.

Best wishes, Catharine

Rebecca Little

Rebecca is an emerging designer. Her beautiful designs are inspired by delicate, flowing fabrics with their rich textures, agility and softness. She is fascinated with the relationship between textile and metal and this is clearly demonstrated in her intriguing collection where she explores recreating textile like qualities in precious metals.

For Rebecca, movement and tactility are most important, so she has developed her own technique that translates these qualities to create intricate, spiralling and elegant pieces that are beautiful to look at and sensuous to wear.

Hello,
I was wondering if you may be able to help me.
I am trying to make contact with some potential case studies for a film we are hoping to make over the bank holiday weekend.
We are looking for someone who has come up with an idea, a new product, someone who has recently started making arts and crafts. We would want to film at an event (we were thinking some sort of market potentially Saturday, Sunday or Monday) and are looking for good characters with a nice little background story.
If this is something that you think you may be able to help us out with, it would be great to hear back from you.
Feel free to either email me back on this address or drop me a line on 07401576765.
Thank you ever so much for your time.
Best,
Cara
