kettles yard

It was created between 1958 and 1973 and was the home of Jim and Helen Ede.
From the website :
In the 1920s and 30s Jim had been a curator at the Tate Gallery in London. Thanks to his friendships with artists and other like-minded people, over the years he gathered a remarkable collection, including paintings by Ben and Winifred Nicholson, Alfred Wallis, Christopher Wood, David Jones and Joan Miro, as well as sculptures by Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, Constantin Brancusi, Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth.

At Kettle's Yard Jim carefully positioned these artworks alongside furniture, glass, ceramics and natural objects, with the aim of creating a harmonic whole. His vision was of a place that should not be

"an art gallery or museum, nor ... simply a collection of works of art reflecting my taste or the taste of a given period. It is, rather, a continuing way of life from these last fifty years, in which stray objects, stones, glass, pictures, sculpture, in light and in space, have been used to make manifest the underlying stability."

Kettle's Yard was originally conceived with students in mind. Jim kept 'open house' every afternoon of term, personally guiding visitors around his home. In 1966 he gave the house and its contents to the University of Cambridge. In 1970, three years before the Edes retired to Edinburgh, the house was extended, and an exhibition gallery added.

Today each afternoon (apart from Mondays) visitors can ring the bell and ask to look around.

Everything made at our workshop and studio is unique, meaning it will be only for you. Each and every piece of jewellery is crafted by hand using only recycled raw materials. This simple, natural process means that each piece is closely connected to its maker and the little individual marks and subtle movements of tools that are sometimes visible are what make our pieces so special.

At The Hairy Growler we specialise in the unique, the ‘one off’, the exclusive, and so, we love to carry out commissioned work. Do you have a lovely little design fluttering in your mind? Or, would you like us to adapt one of our own designs, to make it well and truly ‘you’? Whatever it may be, we will work closely with you, ensuring you’ll see the unique parts of yourself, in your finished piece. Prices for commissioned work obviously depend on design and materials, but if you reference the work within these pages, you’ll get a relevant indication of cost.verything made at our workshop and studio is unique, meaning it will be only for you.
