I have been making Harris Tweed bags for eight years now, and have very much enjoyed selling at the SAAAF. However, I am now winding down, and have set myself two goals – to make simpler shapes, and to use up my many off-cuts of wool and tweed! So this year you will see bags in which I have combined smaller pieces of fabric, patchwork style. It has been an enjoyable challenge to find enough co-ordinating pieces to create a pleasing design, but Harris Tweed is very forgiving and it is surprising which colours work well together in the finished product. I hope you agree. So my intention is that this will be my final year at the Festival. However, I still have an intimidating amount of fabric to use up, so you might just (maybe) see me again next year!

I am drawn to the contrasts of light and shape in both objects and nature. By using mainly acrylic and sometimes collage, I try to interpret those contrasting elements until I have a striking image. My work is always evolving.

Stuart Sykes has over 45 years experience as a professional woodworker. For 10 years he was Woodturner in Residence at Brockhole National Visitor Centre, where he demonstrated his craft to many thousands of visitors. He has supplied many organisations with his work, including The National Trust and English Heritage and his work has been enthusiastically received by many galleries. Stuart now concentrates on green woodworking working with local timbers and recycling timber from broken furniture. He uses these materials to make decorative and useful items. In his latest phase Stuart is making smaller pieces for the home using recycled and reclaimed timber in both their natural and painted form. His ambition is to use only recycled materials including wood, fittings and paint, making no two pieces alike, each piece an individual hand made piece of art.
