Jim Bennett’s response to our Autumn Exhibition brief, ‘Harvest Home’.

We celebrate the end of harvest with our new exhibition, Harvest Home, a traditional English Harvest festival, celebrated on the Sunday nearest the harvest moon.

We invited our makers and artists to create one of a kind pieces inspired by the traditions, rituals and abundance of this evocative time of year. Drawing upon folklore, history and the rich symbolism of the harvest season, the responses to the Harvest Home brief are both varied and thoughtful.

"In answer to the Harvest Home Autumn brief, I decided to take the idea of a woven basket.

Traditionally used to carry fruit, vegetables, eggs and other gathered produce associated with harvest, they are often handmade from natural materials, are functional, elegant, and aesthetically pleasing.

As I am a furniture maker I wanted to interpret this idea in wood. The humble serving tray, often referred to as a tea tray – is used to carry tea paraphernalia, food, etc from kitchen. By using thin laths of woven timber in a solid timber frame the tray becomes now becomes a functional, elegant, aesthetically pleasing symbol of hospitality.

This tray is made from local solid English Walnut, the mitred corners softened with a gentle curve and strengthened using contrasting solid oak splines set in. The handles are cut out from each end and shaped to follow the natural curve of the hand to give a welcoming, comfortable, softer feel."
