The Life of Trees - News

The Somerset Guild of Craftsmen is delighted to continue their annual exhibition with emerging designer makers studying at Bridgwater College, Somerset. A select number of designers have been specially chosen from Bridgwater students, including furniture that demonstrates excellence within contemporary design, form and vision whilst representing the creative flair of individuals working with wood.
