This new exhibition will feature mixed craft work by ten makers who have won awards at the Contemporary Craft Festival, which celebrates its 10th birthday in Bovey Tracey this year.

So The Great Exeter Tea Cosy Competition now has a silver teapot trophy, an amazing array of prizes, an impressive judging panel and the goodwill...
