Picture perfect celebrations
The Craft Centre and Design Gallery in Leeds, which was set up in 1982, has gone from a small basement gallery to one of the leading craft centres in the country. Nestled beneath the City Art Gallery, where assistant manager Caroline Dennis is seen above looking at Pathwwa, a glass artwork by Helen Slater, it has showcased tens of thousands of designers from graduates to established makers and hosted hundreds of exhibitions.
Director Hayley Walker said: “It has been an honour to have displayed work from some of the finest craftspeople. It was once a hidden gem but is now firmly on the map.”
