The Magic of Mackintosh in Beads

Date: 
Oct 6 2012 - 10:30 - Dec 16 2012 - 16:30

 

The Beadworkers Guild were proud to present their wonderful interpretations of the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife Margaret Macdonald.

The diversity of Mackintosh's work provided ample inspiration;  from architecture and textile designs to watercolours and stylised artwork, the Guild members were tasked with designing something new from something old. 

They were proud to present their interpretations from artistic and decorative pieces to jewellery and functional items.  It's amazing what they achieved with needle, thread and a few beads.
