Our national network for contemporary craft and design continues to grow, and we’re delighted to welcome another talented cohort of creative individuals to Design-Nation.
Our latest intake brings together an exciting mix of emerging and established makers, with exceptional work spanning ceramics, jewellery, textiles, furniture, glass and mixed media. From distinctive material explorations and innovative processes to thoughtful approaches to contemporary making, our new members reflect the creativity, ambition and diversity of the UK’s designer-maker community.
Every new intake adds to the strength and breadth of our network, bringing different perspectives, skills and experiences. Together, we create a platform where exceptional talent can be discovered, supported and celebrated, and where contemporary craft and design can flourish.
We’re looking forward to getting to know our newest members, sharing their work and supporting their development through Design-Nation’s exhibitions, events, professional development opportunities and collaborations.
