HandShake exhibition - Artist talk this Saturday 4pm - Jessica Winchcombe

[Studio 20/17]

Saturday 13th August, 4pm - Artist Jessica Winchcombe will be discussing work in the HandShake exhibition, and the background to this innovative project.

 

The nature of this project departs from more common exhibition formats, which focus on a theme or the curator’s perspective to bring to together a group of artists. Here, a group of emerging artists will have the opportunity to develop work in collaboration with a mentor. In this project, the traditional practice of the passing on of craft/artisan skills through a classical apprenticeship is revived in a contemporary context. The partnership and dialogue between the graduate and their mentor is a great opportunity for the graduates to learn more, but also for the established maker to bring forward their knowledge and share with the new generation of makers.
