Ralph Levy

The 2019 Art in Ditchling Trail was dedicated to the memory of Ralph Levy, creator of The Handmade House, who sadly died earlier in the year.  The Handmade House was a unique venue on the Trail, and provided numerous artists and craftspeople with an opportunity to showcase their work both in and around the house.  Ralph was a maker in his own right and was equally at home working with metal and ceramics.  He also taught ceramics and provided a stimulating and encouraging environment for people to learn this craft.  He will be missed by many.
