Open Tues-Sat 11-4. Sun 12-4
Sherry Doyal - Organic exhibition
​
Sherry is a maker, conservator and teacher.
Her botanic material and art objects are informed by her expertise as a conservator working with both natural science and history collections.
​
Sherry makes contemporary baskets which need contain nothing but ideas which are worked in botanic materials, papers, pulps and wax. Interests find expression in wabi sabi, a Japanese sensibility of the ephemeral, the incomplete, the imperfect and the wamono basket tradition.
​
Sherry is a founding member of the exhibiting group Basketry Plus www.basketryplus.org
and of The Basketmakers' Association
