Be dazzled by the beauty in the overlooked and discarded.
Taking a highly innovative approach to contemporary craft, Hove Museum & Art Gallery commissioned ten artists and makers to create new pieces, and nine to exhibit existing work. Precious is the result, produced from objects which have had a previous life.
Coming from all over the country and selected from 300 applicants, the makers reflect all aspects of contemporary craft in Britain today. Participating makers:
Tracey Bush, Kelvin Birk, David Clarke, Donya Coward, Mary Crabb, Stephanie Douet, Amy Douglas, Jools Johnson, Circus Kinetica, Becky Knight, Margaret Marks Andrew Mockett, Joanna Mowbray, Mark Oliver, Claire Palfreyman, Kate Parrott Betty Pepper, Jasmine Pradissitto, Pamela Schilderman
Precious is created by Matt Smith, guest curator, and Polly Harknett, Curator of Contemporary Craft at Brighton & Hove Museums. After being shown at Hove Museum, it will take on a new life on tour to five other venues around the UK.
