Block Party: contemporary craft inspired by the art of the tailor
Artsdepot, North Finchley
25 January – 28 April 2013
The Crafts Council’s touring exhibition Block Party, curated by visual artist Lucy Orta, celebrates the skill of the pattern cutter and tailor, and explores the creative possibilities of this craft.
Presenting contemporary works by UK and international artists, Block Party continues its tour to Artsdepot, North Finchley.
The process of transforming the flat pattern block into three dimensional form is an enduring source of inspiration. The rich cultural heritage and evocative language of pattern cutting has stimulated a broad range of contemporary applications.
Artists include Shelley Fox, Charlotte Hodes, Dai Rees, Yinka Shonibare MBE, and Raw Edge
