Samantha Bryan: The Adventure So Far

For two decades Bryan has been making humorous yet industrious fairy-like creatures; adorned with items from her eclectic hoard of buttons, spotted feathers, seed pods, dyed leathers, and contraptions influenced by Victorian flying machines. She combines these materials and found objects to inform their intriguing personalities.

The celebratory collection of delightful, fun and charming characters will be available to purchase at YSP. A book launch and signing to celebrate Bryan’s first publication, 20 Years A Maker, will take place at YSP on Saturday 1 October.
