‘In the Making’ will showcase contemporary designer craft from leading nationally acclaimed makers in a Museum setting.

Linking the past to the present and the future.

One discipline will be exhibited at a time and reflect the innovation and high quality of British craftsmanship and will cover the broad range of disciplines that make up contemporary crafts today.

The work selected by Stroud International Textiles will be from established makers as well as new emerging makers.

‘In the Making’ will engage visitors who may not have opportunities to see leading contemporary work and to encourage debate and fresh observation.
‘In the Making’ will be running educational programmes linked to schools, encouraging young people to engage with the work, and take that learning back into the classroom.

Alongside this there will be talks and opportunities for people of all ages to engage with the work and be drawn to a greater understanding and pleasure for contemporary crafts today.
