Christmas shopping

It might be reasonable for me to buy soft things like tea towels or wool scarves to take back to Toronto for Christmas, but today I went looking at a show and sale of ceramics, which are heavy, breakable and just impractical to buy here to carry there. At least I was saved from any tough decisions: no one is getting a lovely mug or bowl!


I didn't get any cards for any of the artists, but let's see if I can find any links. These bowls are by Karen Banks.


Alas, I have no idea whose these are.


Perhaps someone can decipher the name of the gnome-builder. They are quite cute.


The show was in All Saints' Church, which was decorated in the Arts and Crafts style. (There are leventy-million churches in this town, and not all of them are still used just as churches.)

In this picture I believe there is painting, tapestry and wallpaper, not to mention the stonework.


The ceiling is a bit of a marvel.


I do have a list of other Cambridge churches done by the same team of designers and craftspeople, and I must find time to go see some more.
