Relocating from India in 2005\, she holds MAs in Journalism and Curating Contemporary Design.

Varuna’s curatorial approach centres on rigorous artist research and in-depth exploration of conceptual themes and artistic expression. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nRichard Foot  \n \nRichard’s fascination with the world of Craft was ignited through his sister\, Helen Foot\, a talented woven textile designer. On visits to her whilst she was studying at the Royal College of Art and in assisting her at various Craft Shows\, Richard was struck by the number of talented Makers and their beautiful creations.  \nAn opportunity presented itself through the Crafts Council’s Hothouse scheme\, which Helen participated in 2011. Together with my friend Arron\, we produced a film featuring her for the open film submission for The Power of Making exhibition\, held at the prestigious V&A in London.  \nThis marked the birth of R&A Collaborations\, a venture that has spanned over a decade\, during which they crafted short films of makers in their studios\, sharing their stories and promoting their incredible work. Their adventures took them across the United Kingdom and beyond\, London\, Paris\, Milan and Goole\, immersing us in the vibrant world of Craft Makers.  \nHowever\, as 2023 unfolded\, change beckoned\, and the time came for R&A Collaborations to conclude. From this point\, Richard’s new solo venture\, #CRAFT🧡\, was born. Richard has worked with a few makers on new projects and at the end of 2023 he began working part time for Design-Nation as their Events and Exhibitions Lead organising group showcases such as Collect at Somerset house.  \n  \nEmma Daker \nEmma (she/her) is Exhibitions and Project Development Manager for Craftspace and co-curator of Made in the Middle. Emma has 20 years’ experience of managing and curating touring exhibitions.

She also leads on strategic work around migrant and refugee women including managing Shelanu: Women’s Craft Collective and the Women’s Maker Movement project.  \n\n\n\n\nRefreshments\n\n\n\nDrinks are provided. There is a café onsite for lunch\, or you can bring your own. \n\nMade in the Middle\nPart of the Made in the Middle exhibition programme. The exhibition will be on show in the main gallery.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Made in the Middle
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Made in the Middle – Artist Development Event\nTuesday 26 March\, 7.00 – 8.30pm: Zoom\nThis event is for artists interested in applying for the Made in the Middle exhibition. \nCraftspace’s Exhibitions Manager Emma Daker will be introducing the exhibition in more detail and answering questions about the application process. \nRachel Butlin and Li-Chu Wu\, Made in the Middle 2016 exhibitors\, will be joining the event to talk about their experience of exhibiting. \nRachel Butlin\nRachel seeks to challenge the concepts of contemporary jewellery\, producing a range of high end \, mixed material pieces. She loves to challenge the way in which people perceive a piece\, by creating small scale sculpture that can be worn on the body\, in a way chosen by the wearer. Carefully considering material combination and placement\, her work often explores bespoke materials\, evoking curiosity between the piece and the wearer themselves.  She gathers materials in a collection\, waiting to explore them through combination and placement\, in a 3D drawing process. Drawing with materials is an essential part of her practice\, with linear forms\, featuring strongly alongside geometric shapes and spaces.” \nLi-Chu Wu\nOriginally from Taipei\, Taiwan\, Li-Chu is a contemporary designer jeweller based in the UK. Her art practice combines materials and layers\, distinguished by the subtle movement achieved through layers\, embodying a harmonious fusion of traditional metalsmithing techniques and new technologies. Exhibits worldwide. Currently works in the jewellery trade. She demonstrates expertise in crafting contemporary jewellery\, working in fine jewellery and antique jewellery world. \nBooking information\nBook your free ticket here. \nBooking closes on Monday 25 March at 5.00pm. \nThe session will be held via Zoom. You don’t need a Zoom account\, nor do you have to download Zoom. You can join directly through your internet browser. The Zoom invite and joining instructions will be emailed to you when you book. \nAutomatic closed captions will be available. There is a BSL film of the application information here.
