Contemporary Craft Festival
Join us once again in Bovey Tracey for one of our favourite events of the year. This amazing Craft Festival is in Bovey Tracey in Devon and features some of the best craft artists from around the country. Audrey will be there playing films of some of the artists and also playing Pathe archive of Crafts being made from yesteryear.

The featured Artists often come on-board at the end of their films and the audience get to ask them questions about their work.

BOLT OUT OF THE BLUE I was perusing social media one morning in early June. Someone had tagged the Vintage Mobile Cinema with a rather exciting message. They were drawing my attention to a website showing a model of the Vintage Mobile Cinema. It was an extraordinary 1/43rd scale die-cast model of ‘Audrey’ (including her registration plate) and had been … Read More

The Dome is Reglazed

It was a little while in the planning but finally we have managed to get the Dome reglazed. This was a complicated job that was achieved thanks to some very impressive work from some very skilled craftsmen. I had some lengthy chats with Ollie (the previous owner) about the dome.

In a new initiative, the Edinburgh Council (led by Councillor Lesley Macinnes) have hugely increased the … Read More

Winter Engine Work

In early November, we had a significant problem with the engine/gearbox. I was unable to get into 1st, 3rd or 5th gears. Fortunately 2nd and 4th got us out of trouble and to safety. Our engineers at Ward Jones discovered that 3 of the 7 bolts that hold the gearbox and clutch to the main engine housing were stripped. I … Read More

Whilst at the Contemporary Craft Festival in Bovey Tracey in 2017, I got talking to Helaina Sharpley, whose artwork was featured in a film we had shown during the weekend. One thing led to another and she has produced this amazing wire artwork of Audrey parked up near Westminster. If you would like a similar commission, don’t hesitate in getting … Read More
