Chris Bladen from South Africa – for the first time as an exhibitor at the EWF!
|
Widely acclaimed for his bronze sculptures of wild fish and birds, Cape Town-based artist Chris Bladen strives to capture the essence of each species, the nuances of their movement and subtleties of their outline, bringing them to life in bronze. As an avid catch-and-release fly-fisherman and enthusiastic birder, Chris has honed his incredible eye for detail through his encounters with fish and birds. He makes a science of studying each species he plans to portray, travelling extensively to see them up close. |
 |
||||
|
Chris is one the rare breed of sculptors who’s involved in the entire process of creating a bronze sculpture – from sketching, moulding and casting right through to the chemical patination, and is known for his extraordinarily vibrant patination techniques. His work has been acquired by collectors across the globe. He currently has works on exhibition at the Charles Greig Gallery in Johannesburg, Jouel, The Quadrant, in Victoria, Seychelles, Africa Nova, Cape Quarter, Cape Town, Ebony/Curated, Franschhoek. 'Witness Bladen's Flying Fish, fluttering between waves, children of water and children of air, living in the shifting half world that exists between sea and sky.' |

A calling to all fly tyers and fly fishers at the 14th EWF!
 |
Since 2013 the EWF, its exhibitors, and many of its visitors have supported the work of the Ambulant Children’s Hospice in Munich with a stand at the EWF and with donations. The Ambulant Children’s Hospice (AKM), Munich, has supported, comprehensively and professionally, families with extremely or uncurably ill unborns, children, youth, and young adults. The AKM will again this year have a stand and present its work at the EWF. In prior years we have sold, for the benefit of the AKM, fly boxes containing 10 of the flies submitted in prior years for the German Open Fly Tying Championship or donated flies from many fly tyers. The proceeds from the sale of the boxes and flies will go 100% to the Ambulant Children’s Hospice (AKM), Munich. We would be greatly pleased to hear from you that you are participating in this campaign. Your EWF Organizing Team |

For the first time at the EWF - The Patagonia Worn Wear Tour!
The Patagonia repair team offers no-cost repair of clothing of any brand.
Repairs are on a “first-come, first-served” basis.
|
Increasing the useful life of our clothing through care and repair is the most important contribution we can make in reducing our effect on the planet because then we need to purchase fewer new items and can avoid the CO2 emissions, waste, and waste water associated with their production. The British organisation WRAP determined that whoever uses their clothing only nine months longer lowers their CO2, water, and waste footprint about 20 to 30 percent simply because less is produced and less is thrown away. |
||||
 |
The Patagonia Worn Wear Program began in 2013 in order to motivate people to care for their clothing and to repair it when necessary. Worn Wear’s objective is that clothing (regardless of manufacturer) be used as long as possible. When replacement is necessary, Patagonia recommends that the consumer invest in a durable product. That is why Patagonia makes high-quality and functional products and provides a lifetime guaranty. |
||||
 |
About Patagonia Patagonia was founded in 1973 by Yvon Chouinard and has its headquarters in Ventura, California. As a certified B Corp, Patagonia commits itself to an ambitious mission statement: build the best product, harm the environment as little as possible, inspire other businesses to follow this example, and find solutions to today’s environmental crisis. The company is internationally known for its engagement for product quality and environmental protection and has, to date, provided more than 89 million US dollars in donations, both monetary and in kind. |
