Craft Field
The Green Craft Field places the nature and inspirational energy of real education on full and spectacular display, showcasing everything from the flippant and whimsical to unquestionable masterpieces. As much as the main stages, here is a gathering of talent you would be very unlikely to see all held in one place anywhere else.
Just a few recent highlights included a fully functional foundry onsite, a visionary glass blower - working into the night from his two storey wigwam, a van dweller and chainsaw carver extraordinaire producing stunning buzz-sawed three dimensional sculpture, and art and technology combined at the forefront of a genuinely sustainable future in the shape of hand built wind generators.
Some of the very best craftspeople in the country offer insights into their work along with a taste of the life which fulfils them. Here you can watch and wonder, look and learn, create your own artefacts or go home with something direct from the skilled hands of the demonstrators themselves. The field itself is decorated with many monumental works in wood, stone and turf, making it a precious place to spend some time and be a part of the rebirth of respect and patience in the art of manufacturing.
