This exhibition explores landscape and the influence of historical movements such as Romanticism on contemporary craft makers’ work. The show examines and deconstructs traditional views of ‘landscape’ art through traditional craft form such as clay and thread, as well as introducing the ‘new’ media of technology. For many of these artists it is first time that they have moved from the reality of their craft to the virtual reality of multimedia. The exhibition therefore contains ceramics, textiles, glass, jewellery and furniture alongside projection and a multimedia installation.
