Crane Court Gallery presents The Art of Craft, a showcase of makers in metalworking, woodworking, blacksmithing, glassblowing, weaving and Verre églomisé. Join us at Crane Court Gallery on Friday 25th April at 5pm for an exclusive first look.
Craft encompasses many aspects of art, design and functionality, it can be minimalist and maximalist, it can tell a story and create conversation, it can educate and inspire.
The essence of all craft though is the presence of the hand of the maker. This can be overt with marks made in clay through pressure and gesture or almost imperceptible with objects formed in metal and silver appearing almost too perfect to have been shaped by hand.
Indeed, each craftsperson, through years and decades of honing their respective skills, has gained a mastery of their medium which allows them to reveal and conceal their hand or simply let the material speak for itself and tell us its own story.
The exhibition runs from 25th April - 30th May, Tuesday-Friday 12-6pm - or by appointment.
The exhibition will be open Monday 12th May – Sunday 18th May, 12-6pm for Craft Week.
