Tinsmiths Cuttings Blog
The Tinsmiths Cuttings blog is a place where we can delve a little deeper into topics of interest. All the people that contribute to the Tinsmiths blog are visual people – makers, designers and “doers”. They like to get out and about and look – at buildings, at landscape, at art, at life. That is why Tinsmiths Cuttings isn’t just about Tinsmiths. We hope you enjoy their posts.
Included in this blog you will find details about Tinsmiths exhibitions and special events – activities in which we aim to showcase the best in contemporary applied arts and the handmade with a particular focus on textiles, ceramics and print. Please keep an eye on our social media content, blog posts and What’s On Around Ledbury for further details of what’s coming up next.
