Description

A handwritten letter by Julia Land listing her exhibits for the Black Swan Guild Gallery in Frome, Somerset. There is a list of 28 items for the the Gallery. Julia Land states that the prices listed are the ‘retail price’. The items and their prices are as follows: ‘large teapot’ (£45), ‘small fat bellied teapot’ (£39), ‘small teapot’ (£35), ‘large jug’ (£30), two ‘med fat bellowed jugs’ (both at £20), three ‘sm fat bellied jugs’ (all at £14), two ‘pot bellied jugs’ (all at £16), two ‘waistcoat jugs’ (all at £16), twelve ‘mugs’ (all at £8) and three ‘large platters’ (all at £20). In regards to the three ‘large platters’, Julia Land has marked an asterisk noting that on two of these platters there is a ‘fault in the glaze’. Total value of £451 is noted at the bottom. This document is in blue ink on white paper. This document was found in a folder titled ‘Delivery notes. Black Swan’.

The Makers’ Guild in Wales was formed in 1984 as a maker co-operative to bring together and promote the best of Welsh craft talent. The guild consists of craftsmen and women and is fully committed to its charitable aims, namely the promotion and preservation of applied art and craft skills, by presenting Welsh-based work of the highest quality for the public to view. Since its establishment, it has gained status in producing internationally recognised craft and art. Currently, the organisation has 79 Wales-based maker-members. Prior to settling at Craft in the Bay, which has been in several locations in Cardiff Bay, the guild was based at the Old Library craft centre from 1989 to 1995. The guild also spent some time at St David’s Hall. It is now based in the reconstructed ‘D’ Shed on the Flourish in Cardiff Bay.

In the beginning, The Makers ‘Guild in Wales was wholly run by volunteers; there were no paid staff positions until the mid to late 1990s. The Makers Guild still relies on the help of volunteers to work in the gallery space; they have played a vital role in the sustainability of the craft organisation.
