Winter Design Collection 2009
27th November-24th December

Think Christmas ...think Bllcliffe. The Roger Billcliffe gallery presents stunning contemporary jewellery, silver, metal, textiles, ceramic and glass sculptures from over 60 leading British and European makers. Most are established designers, many of whom have works in major museum collections and adorning well known public faces (and spaces), and are here showing their new collections alongside young up-and-coming talent. Design Collection covers every style with a choice of must-have desirable pieces, from minimal and flamboyant to the more reserved and classic. Ceramics are varied in range and size from wall pieces, classic glazed pots, vessels and animal sculpture. Spectacular, graceful glass forms and subtly coloured smaller vessels are also represented. Textiles are unique, three-dimensional twisting scarves (and evening bags) in soft silk fabrics and leather office bags, all in sumptuous deep winter colours.
