Jerwood Makes Open 2013 at Jerwood Space

Jerwood Makes Open 2013 is a commissioning opportunity which recognises rising stars in the world of applied arts. The completed commissions are presented for the first time in an exhibition at JVA at Jerwood Space. Conceptual maker Maisie Broadhead, jeweller Linda Brothwell, ceramicist Adam Buick, paper artist Nahoko Kojima and textile artist Roanna Wells have each been awarded a commission of £7,500, which gives them the opportunity to freely develop new ideas central to their individual practice. With processes spanning embroidery and paper cutting to photography and film installation, the selected artists each employ high-quality craftsmanship to explore and challenge traditional thinking in applied arts.
