Craft pods: Rachel Hazell, Phiona Richards and Alix Swan

Fife Contemporary Art & Craft’s specially designed craft pods are on their second year-long tour of libraries in west Fife. The theme for 2010/11 has been book related with all artists being inspired by books in some way. On show is a small selection of work by Rachel Hazell, Phiona Richards and Alix Swan, plus examples of the materials they use and background information about the artists.
