A day of Meet the Maker was held in August with the financial support of Norton Priory Museum & Gardens and the Arts Council. Meet the maker present the chance to listen to the artist talk about the process and the theories of their practice and how it relates to the exhibition “Making Stuff”. It is a chance for artists and visitors to interact and eat sandwiches in a relaxed atmosphere and for some recent graduates is their first opportunity to talk about their work outside of university.

Says Gillian:

“For me, ‘Making Stuff’ is such an exciting exhibition, because, not only does it represent a diverse a range of contemporary craft practices but it presents artists who are using their craft to be both technically and conceptually innovative. All nine artists have an exploratory approach to their practice seeking to push the boundaries of their craft to produce decorative and functional art objects and I believe that the work on show reveals the exciting interface between craft and design.”
The Kitchen Gallery would like to take this opportunity to thank Gill for all of her hard work and dedication to the project and for her creative input to the curation of the show. We would also like to thank the artists for showing their beautiful work with us and of course our sponsors; the Arts Council of England, Norton Priory Museum & Gardens and Halton Borough Council Arts Development Unit.
