Cross-disciplinary collaborations in craft and design.

A touring exhibition from Manchester Metropolitan University showcasing the work created over the last eighteen months by artists working in partnerships across their different specialist fields within craft, art and design. Having to engage with new technologies and techniques unfamiliar to them, this exciting exhibition displays and interprets the processes and documents the 'conversations' as sketches, tests and experiments, as well as the finished outcomes. The exhibition itself becomes a discussion between all the makers and between the makers and the audience.

Artist Talks: Wednesday 1st February at Craft in the Bay

An opportunity to hear some of the exhibiting artists discuss their work and the collaborative process:

Alex McErlain, Alice Kettle, Claire Curneen, Duncan Ayscough and Alison Welch
