Kate’s Plaice

Dec 16 2015

I’m lucky enough to do a spot of photography for Kate Jenkins, the quite brilliant knitwear designer, and crochet artist.

I have to share a couple of pieces of her work here, not only because it adds a bit of Seasonal cheer to my site, but because it may just be the last chance to see her incredible exhibition, ‘Kate’s Plaice the Stitchmongers’. Drum roll please for Kate, as she returns from distant shores, to don her apron and trilby once again, serving up the visual feast that is an entire knitted and crocheted fish counter, in her home town of Brighton.

It’s not around for long though! Catch it (sorry, it’s hard to resist) on the 19th & 20th December at the best Art Gallery in town, The Cameron Contemporary Gallery www.cameroncontemporaryart.com. Opens Saturday 19th December 10.00-6.00, Sunday 20th December 11.00-4.00.

Whether you can make it or not, keep an eye on Kate’s amazing work here www.cardigan.ltd.uk

It’ll have you in stitches (yeah ok, I’ve gone too far with that one. Sorry).

About this blog

The vast majority of posts in this blog are about quirky & eccentric competitions & festivals. I started it in 2006 in France with a competition I’ll never forget. Where contestants battle it out to become the World Champion Pig Squeeler, or ‘Cri du Cochon’. I had little knowledge back then of quite how far my pursuit of these kind of events would lead me. I’ve travelled all over Britain (and occasionally further afield) to capture our curiosities and quirks. There’s nothing uniquely eccentric about the British, you’ll find people all over the world up to all sorts of weird and wonderful activities, but we do have a remarkable capacity to embrace the madness. ‘A Brit Different’ is the book that was born from it, my labour of love! So what next? There’s always something interesting going on, so watch this space, only time will tell!
