Meet Artisans’ Guild member Kaye Thompson, pictured here with one of her beautiful beaded creations.
Kaye has always loved craft, but her love of creating also carries a very special connection.
“I have always loved craft. I had a special-needs daughter who was very clever with craft and art. She passed away five years ago, and I was left with many lovely craft items and lots of beautiful beads.”
Those beads have continued to inspire Kaye’s creativity. Today she enjoys making jewellery, beaded pictures, wall hangings, Tree of Life pieces, suncatchers — and just about anything involving beads!
It’s stories like Kaye’s that make a visit to the Artisans’ Guild Gallery about more than simply looking at beautiful handmade pieces. Every item has been created by a local artist or artisan, and often there is a story, memory or passion behind it.
Come in, have a browse and discover what our members have been creating. You may even find something special to take home.
