Cressing Temple Scroll Saw Stall Holder

[CHJ]

Anyone attend the Cressing Temple 2013 event.

There was a young lady there showing some brilliant examples of her scroll work, I spent some time discussing the details of how she worked and complimenting her on the fine detail of her work.
I was so engrossed with her explanations that I became conscious that I was monopolising her from her customers and moved to one side and only later realised I had not noted her name or contact details.

So if anyone could fill in those details I would be obliged.

One thing that emerged from the discussion on the thickness of her designs and fine details was that she used an old Hegner and because she broke so many blades she only ever uses cheap hobby blades and treated them as very much throw away items. Some of her pieces entailed blind hole blade changing numbered in the hundreds.

You could always try the organizers of the event and see if they have a list of the people giving demo's..

Thanks Steve, should have made it clear, it was the September European Woodworking Show organised by Classic Hand Tools, but you have prompted me to do the obvious and contact them for the list if none else has the info.

I wasn't there but I looks as if it could have been Fiona Kingdom.

Thank you powertools, that's the Lady, must take more care when scrolling through the pages, did open that one and missed the entry completely.

Some of her work was astounding for its complexity and fine cutting detail, that's what prompted me to ask about the blades she used in such thick wood to achieve such narrow and fine lines.

But alongside that dense detail work were other very subtle pieces such as this:-

Which to me shouts Art as much as Craft.

Chas. I may be doing something wrong "as usual " but the link you posted for Ms , Kingdom is not showing for me

Sorry CHJ my mistake everything in order .

The more I look at this sort of work the more I appreciate her vision and work standard.

Chas how long before we see some of your amazing wood turning decorated with some scrollsaw work?

 

[CHJ]

A bit too late in the day for me to start the time consuming task of trying to enhance my craft skills I'm afraid.
I don't have enough hours to try out the various turning ideas or make much of a dent in the ever accumulating wood pile as it is.
The vision of a similar small intricate design or scene embedded in a box lid does keep haunting me though.

Wow! I can see why you were engrossed, spectacular skill involved and a great artistic ability too. =D>
