This exhibition brings together works from a group of craftspeople who use paper as a primary medium or as an intrinsic part of their process, all of whom have developed their practice through specialist craft training and education supported by the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust (QEST).
Through the skills of the makers, the exhibition will showcase the versatility of paper as a material, and explore the breadth of its creative and practical potential. The show will consider our continuing relationship with this tactile medium in the age of digital technology, and its enduring usefulness.
Featuring Cockpit makers Kendall Clarke and Sim Orme, as well as Fung & Bedford, Edward Cheese, Felicity Bristow, Jonathan Wright, Kate Colin, Kate Rochester, Katie Beard, Lucy May Schofield & Oliver Smart, Mandy Coppes-Martin, Razwan Ul-Haq, Sam Newby, and Su Blackwell.
The exhibition also includes a new Sonobe installation which has been co-curated and commissioned by local young people and families, working together with the Hub and QEST scholar Kate Colin. The project has been funded by QEST.
