Haddon Hall and QEST present Showcase 2

^{‘The Healers I’ & ‘The Healers II’ by Verity Pulford}

Following a successful collaboration last year, we have once again joined with Haddon Hall to present a second showcase of contemporary craft. Haddon Hall stands as a testament to Britain’s rich history of craftsmanship, from the very fabric of the hall to the furnishings and fittings. The grounds have provided further inspiration and even resource to fuel this artistry.

We are proud to feature a selection of work by six QEST Alumni, chosen by Lady Edward Manners to resonate with the history and architecture of Haddon, its gardens and parklands. Showcase 2 demonstrates how traditional craft skills are employed and evolved by modern makers to beautiful effect.

QEST Scholars featured in Showcase 2:

In the Exhibition Room

• Hanny Newton, embroidery artist
• Verity Pulford, glass artist
• Anna Lorenz, silversmith
• Lily Marsh, sculptor and stone carver

In the Earl’s Apartment & Ante Chamber

• Oliver Cook, sculptural artist
• Mandy Coppes-Martin, textile artist

Showcase 2 opens to the public on Monday 1 July and will remain on display until Sunday 14 September.

About Haddon Hall

With 900 years of history, Haddon Hall is one of the most significant and oldest heritage destinations in the country, and one of the only houses in England to have remained in one family’s ownership for its entire existence. It is unique in that it remained empty for nearly 200 years, allowing it to remain unaltered during the modernising period of the Georgians and Victorians. It features a remarkable tapestry collection; an early English furniture collection reputed to be the best of its kind in England; exquisite and very rare 15th century freso seccos and stunning Elizabethan Walled Gardens, redesigned by Arne Maynard.
