It has been a wonderful opportunity to showcase a jury-selected range of Contemporary Craft from across Europe. Over 100 craft practitioners have contributed and participated in this process!
Alongside these Showcase pieces, the exhibition has featured a sample of the emerging project outcomes, including experimental material library samples; a selection of tools and raw materials illustrating process; film tutorials and maker interviews; as well as a Soundscape, weaving together workshop sounds. A Crafthub catalogue is being curated to share the project achievements, including a dedicated chapter to all showcase pieces that have been exhibited.
Courtesy of the project coordinators Carlow County Council from Ireland, there is a cash fund of €2,500 available to award selected Showcase Exhibitors.
The first prize will be €1,000, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th prize will be €500 each.
The Crafthub team is asking for help from the public to make this selection!
An online public vote will be launched on the 26th September – 26th October and the winners (with the most votes) will be announced on the 1st November during the Crafthub Conference – Transformation: Effect and affect of craft in society Oslo (Norway).
