We are delighted to present a collaborative exhibition by 15 professional and associate members from Design-Nation’s Nottinghamshire Cluster Hub. ‘Growth’ will tour to TWO venues in the Midlands this spring.
Exhibiting artists:
• Barinder Designs • Debbie Barber • Denise Coupland • Hannah Lane • Jan Garside • Jane Frost • Jayne Middlebrook • Jill Riley • Kate Bajic • Mary Johnson • Rachel Morley • Sarah Burton • Sarah-May Johnson • Su France • Suzy Ager
The exhibition brings together a vibrant collective of craftspeople from across the Midlands, each exploring what “growth” means to them. For some, growth has meant pushing artistic boundaries or experimenting with unfamiliar techniques and materials. Others have drawn inspiration from the natural world—capturing the quiet persistence of plants or the surprising resilience of life in unexpected places. At least one maker turned to their craft during challenging personal times, finding healing through the making process.
The exhibition is as diverse as those that created it—a collection of personal expressions and creative breakthroughs that together explore the many facets of growth.
