The exhibition showcases the work of 37 eminent designer-makers who have responded to the curator’s request for an object of their making which reflects their understanding of culture; of how material objects can carry a community’s shared history and reflect a cultural perspective.

The exhibition will be supported with a specially produced catalogue, featuring essays from a number of leading academics - including Dr Audrey Whitty, Dr Jessica Hemmings, Dr Josseph McBrinn and Professor Declan McGonagle - which aim to contextualise this exceptional exhibition and convey the importance of Craft to us all.Exhibition runs: 29th July – 22nd August, 2013
