HotHouse Showcase - features early and mid career designer makers who have been selected for the Hothouse Maker Development Programme run by the Crafts Council.
Crafts Council Hothouse Alumni: #HothouseAlumni KATE WHITEHEAD. HA12
A selection of work by the hottest makers from across the UK. Featuring ambitious and talented makers and designers who have recently set up their studios, we are showcasing fresh ideas, craft, design and celebrating material culture, showing the work of makers with varied approaches, from throwing on the potter’s wheel with a colour-popping twist, to the marriage of drawing and machine embroidery.
Combining distinct craft skills with the careful selection of materials, this exhibition features stunning ceramics, jewellery, furniture and textiles by the names of the future.
