My name is Janice Hosegood, and I'm fundraising to help Alan Craxford complete his final project. We've known each other for over thirty years, first through work and in later years, we've become great friends.
With a career spanning over 50 years, Alan Craxford is an artist, jeweller, silversmith, engraver, and teacher, acknowledged for his precision and mastery of precious metals and gemstones. Alan’s artworks are highly prized and have been exhibited over his career with examples shown within the Victoria & Museum’s permanent collection.
In 2003, Alan was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. It is a devastating condition and although its effect on Alan was slight in the earlier years, its cruel progression now has a significant impact on his physical and mental well-being and his daily life.
It’s probably no surprise to learn that Alan’s years as an artist-maker are well behind him.
Over the past five years, Alan has been documenting his life’s journey, through stories of his inspirations, influences, and characters who he’s met along the way. This collection of stories, with hundreds of accompanying photographs, is perhaps his final grand project.
I would dearly love to see this amazing project realised, as the splendid book it deserves to be and, with your help, this will happen. We’ve received generous support from a publisher but still need to raise more funds to cover the editing, design, print, and administration costs associated with such a project.
Any contribution, whatever the size, will be truly appreciated by all of us who wish to see Alan’s book come to life, for everyone to enjoy.
