Meet the Marches Makers Team

​Marches Makers is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit organisation by and for artists and makers.

Here are some of the people who make the Marches Makers Festivals happen....
​

Patrick Conrad - Chairman
​
​
My professional background has been in educational management and project management in a UK and European context. I am now retired and taking the opportunity to make a contribution to community participation in the visual arts through my involvement with the Marches Makers Festival.

Annie Gamble - Open Studios and Community Projects Coordinator

Annie brings all her enthusiasm for art and her passion for community participation to the Festival.

​Clare Conrad - Exhibition Designer and Displays
​

I am a ceramicist. I gained BA (hons) at UWE In 1987 and have exhibited widely since then. I moved to Kington in 2017 and was delighted to find so many artists working in the area. When Marches Makers invited me to join the committee to help with display in 2020, I was pleased to join the group.

Nancy Frost - Coordinator for the Market Hall  

I am a potter and maker of mixed media collages.  For the festival I’m part of the team bringing demonstrations and hands-on activities to the Kington Market Hall.  Our aim is to create a space where visitors can both see artists at work, and find opportunities to express their own creativity.

Fiona Ritchie - Book keeper 

​Fiona has been given the impossible task of keeping track of the money and making sure everything and everyone gets paid on time. Previously she was chief officer of ECHO, a charity working with and for disabled people in Herefordshire.

Stuart Roper - Publicity and Marketing

As part of the festival committee my main job is to create the Marketing collateral  - Leaflets, Poster and signage. All based on the excellent branding that was created for the first Festival in 2018.
A fun job using the fabulous images created by the Marches Makers Festival artists.

Helen Smith - Web Site and Social Media

​Having spent many years as a software tester and technical author, writing help systems and computer manuals, I now like to create and maintain websites just for fun!  Time away from the computer is when I play with textiles.

Bob Widdowson - Treasurer

Bob is a former Mayor of Kington and has spent most of his working life in the voluntary sector mainly with housing charities such as Shelter.  He brings a wealth of experience, local knowledge, and huge enthusiasm to our team! 

More team members:  Nicki Cornish - Volunteers Co-ordinator
