Look out for the Gem Collection at Ruthin Craft Centre’s exhibition MAKE.
A celebration of the work of some fifty applied artists, marking a return of several of your favourite makers along with some new faces. For the past two years Ruthin Craft Centre’s Paul Hamlyn Foundation funded What is Craft? project has looked at many different aspects of Craft and the core fundamental process of making. Examining different ideas and approaches to making, in particular through form, function, materials, and decoration, it has engaged our audience in a creative dialogue. This exhibition articulates aspects of that dialogue and continues the ongoing conversation of what it is to Make.
