The shape of things is a national initiative developing over several years. Through a series of exhibitions and professional events it seeks to explore the distinctive contribution artists working in craft media are making to influence or reflect national identity, the intercultural nature of British society and its connection with global cultures.
“In this work, the shape of things to come becomes more than what it expresses. The shape of things to come becomes beauty, that high human value which brings us home again to ourselves, and gives us the possibility of transcendence and peace.” – Bonnie Greer, OBE
