SUMMARY:MAC Craft Fellows: exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition was shown from 3rd November 2018 – 24th March 2019 \nFrom April to December 2019 we worked with MAC to support five recent graduates on their journey from postgraduate to confidently working as professional makers. \nThey were each commissioned to make new work to develop their practice since graduation. The work also showcased the journey they have been on during the fellowship programme. The exhibition at MAC was the culmination of their hard work. \nThe MAC Craft Fellowship Programme was made possible with support from The Headley Trust. \nImage: Craft Fellows 2018.

SUMMARY:Lush Life Presents: An evening of Craftivism\, with Sarah Corbett & Friends
DESCRIPTION:Our Director\, Deirdre Figueiredo\, will be part of a panel for this event led by Sarah Corbett for Lush Life. If you can’t attend you can watch the live stream on the Lush Player. The event should be available to watch afterwards too. Sarah’s Gentle Protest exhibition is also on show . \n“Join Sarah Corbett\, award-winning activist and founder of the global Craftivist Collective\, for an evening exploring Craftivism. Sarah will be chairing a discussion on the use of craft and Craftivism for making change. Exploring what it is and how to use if for maximum impact. Sarah will be joined by Chris Gee\, Campaign Leader at WWF talking about how WWF are incorporating craftivism; Deirdre Figueiredo MBE\, Director of  Craftspace on the power of using craft for young people’s voices; and Alexi Duggins\, once Editor-at-Large of Time Out London\, now freelance journalist for the Guardian\, NME amongst others\, on how using Craftivism as a tool for campaigning can attract media to cover your issue. \nFollowing the discussion you are invited to join a Stitchable Change-maker Craftivism workshop. We know that changemakers aren’t superheroes; they’re just people who connect their values to their actions. Every single one of us has gifts and talents we can use to be the change we wish to see in the world. At key times we need to make time to slow down\, keep a cool head & think critically about how we can be positive change makers. We hope this ‘inner activism’ project is a useful tool & physical reminder of your journey as a craftivist & brilliant global citizen. \nThis event is part of a week long takeover of the Lush Life Channel by Craftivist Collective. A week exploring Craftivism with the aim of inspiring activists and non-activists alike with methods for starting conversations and making change.” \nYou can get more details and find out how to book here. \n(Image: Sarah Corbett leading a workshop for our Making for Change project.)

SUMMARY:Gather-ing
DESCRIPTION:Gathering is a craft commissioning project initiated by Somerset Art Works in partnership with The National Trust and curated by Craftspace. \nFour artists were commissioned to respond to Stoke-sub-Hamdon Priory site. Stewart Easton was lead artist in collaboration with the Quirky Quilters\, musician Michael Tanner and sonic artist Gawain Hewitt. Jacky Oliver\, Helen Snell\, Gillian Widden and poetry technologist Christopher Jelley were associate artists. Their creative responses make particular reference to the agricultural and religious use and history of the site. \nThe artworks are being re-displayed in an exhibition in the Abbey Barn at Somerset Rural Life Museum. \nStewart Easton’s quilt is interactive and conductive threads can be touched to listen to a soundtrack. Visitors can create their own harvest of words from Christopher Jelley’s word cloud posts by taking rubbings using a word hoard activity sheet.

SUMMARY:Radical Craft: Alternative Ways of Making - Walford Mill Crafts
DESCRIPTION:See the show at the final venue Walford Mill Crafts\, Dorset. 16 September – 31 October 2017. \nDue to the size of the venue a smaller selection of work is on display. For this showing Willem van Genk’s work is on display Priest’s House Museum in Wimborne. \nCarving in miniature (toothpicks and pencil leads)\, reworking found objects from places like the River Thames and hospital grounds\, wrapping\, covering and epic missions in model making are all ways in which the self-taught artists in this exhibition practice and make work outside the mainstream. \nThe exhibition\, which is co-curated by Laura Hamilton\, features 34 international and UK artists who express their creativity unbounded by taught conventions. \nIt includes artworks by historically renowned artists associated with Outsider Art and contemporary self-taught artists who see themselves as facing barriers to the art world for reasons including health\, disability\, social circumstance or isolation; 21 of whom have been selected from open submissions. \nMost have never received any formal art training\, although their practices may have been nurtured and encouraged in specialist centres or studios. Their work or\, creative impulses have been developed with an obvious inventiveness and independence\, which is rarely aimed at a particular audience\, public recognition or marketplace. \nMore about the exhibition here…
