AN exciting new exhibition showcasing the work of eight very different Pembrokeshire craft workers, all using the medium of wood opened at the Narberth Gallery, Narberth, last Friday.
The wood, mainly locally sourced and sustainable, comes from a range of different trees. For instance, one of Dominic Bagnal's pieces, which is 5.5ft high, a chair with a difference, is made from sycamore, oak, leylandi and willow.
The wide variety of objects on show includes the beautiful carved oak Arabian horses of Neil Machin, one of which is just under three-foot tall, the elegant individually designed birch ply furnishings of Steve Thompson and the delicately worked screens of Penlan Interiors.
Also featured are the natural and coloured turned hollow forms and bowls of Jo and Leigh Rihan, the local driftwood mirrors and trees of Sharon Karpaty, alongside the large forms of Campbell McConnell, which show the natural fissures and elements of the material, together with the unique hand-crafted furniture of Dominic Bagnal, of Rustic Revolution.
The exhibition runs until November 8 and the gallery opening hours are Tuesday -Saturday, 11 am - 5 pm.
