Shire Hall Gallery, Stafford
15 September 2012 - 27 October 2012
The seventh
in its series, Made in the Middle is the Midland’s principal selling exhibition
and takes place
every three
years. For the first time in its history- ‘East meets West’ as makers based in
or affiliated to the East Midlands will contribute to the exhibition alongside
their West Midlands counterparts. This exhibition series promotes the best of
recent craft from makers of all disciplines.
27 makers
have been especially selected by a panel of curators and craft sector
specialists. The makers offer an insight into the skill, creativity and
innovative practice within the region. The range
of
disciplines include ceramics, glass, metalwork, jewellery, textiles, wood work
and mixed media from recent graduates to makers with over 30 years experience.
Selected
exhibitors include Jennifer Collier, Amy Twigger Holroyd, Jannette Matthews,
James and Tilla Waters, Anna Collette Hunt, Kevin Grey and Imogen Luddy.
‘Pathways to craft’ careers represented include apprenticeships, traditional
university routes and evening courses and provide inspiration for people
looking to change career path. Made in the Middle is a partnership between
Craftspace and mac birmingham in collaboration with The National Centre for
Craft & Design.

them to potential pathways within the sector. Apprenticeships in the Making,
was an action research project, produced in partnership between Craftspace and
mac birmingham, as part of the touring exhibition, Made in the Middle:
Contemporary craft across the Midlands, which will tour to venues nationally from
