The Makers - collective exhibition at Artwaves Gallery, Burslem

Last week-end I was very proud to organise and be part of a collective Art/Craft exhibition which ran for 3 days. This show was conceived at the boundarie between craft fayre and art show. It involved 9 local artists : Katie May Shipley, Andrew Conroy, Kate Lynch, Rachel Grant, Ruby Sufi (for The String Theory), Deborah Nicklin, Perry Walmsley-Pitts (for Perryceramics), Anna Francis and myself. For the curation, it was very important to me that the works would be presented in a harmonious mixture, balancing and responding to each other. Several pieces were collaborative works between artists and this is something I am looking forward to developing in the very next future.
