Jacques Brejoux
“Many of us start in the paper world for all the wrong reasons. We get into it for aesthetic reasons because we are bourgeois intellectuals and we often have no sense of reality. Yet reality obliges us to go in a certain direction and practice allows us to refine our papermaking.”
A Dying Art
I trust my creativity and follow my inspiration. I learn from each piece of art that I make and so I continue to improve. I have never questioned the path I am on as I have a personal mission to share my love of stained glass to help ensure its survival.
Louisa Creed
Meet British artist Louisa Creed, a celebrated British rag-rug makers with an exclusive excerpt from her story inside Issue 9 of FAIRE
Louisa Creed is a celebrated British rag-rug makers, beloved for her sensitive handling of colour and a painterly appreciation of form. Her first book, My Rag Rug Life, will be published by Rylett Press in July 2023.
“Living alone as I do now, rag rugging is even more important to me, however limited I am. It is a kind of addiction – my fingers need to be working, and I need to be creating.”
From Science to Art
Over the past two or so years, I’ve had to work hard at separating what is income-driven work and what is true creative work (and also travel) that is meant to fuel me, not drain me. I’m getting better at distinguishing the two, but it’s still a journey.
Sarah Andrews
“But what I have learned is that while on the surface, wanderlust and domesticity might seem to be at odds, where you might feel you need to choose one or the other, they are both part of a fundamental human need.”
Little Dog Ceramics
Working together on Little Dog is the first time that we have collaborated professionally. It’s a way for us to combine our love for art once again, but now as adults. And that is enormously gratifying.
Cecile Boudon
