About this Event

This event brings together makers from New Ashgate Gallery’s Rising Stars 2024 programme to explore both their response to selecting work for the current exhibition, Open, and their experience as craftspeople early on in their creative careers. The event offers a chance to celebrate the partnership between the Crafts Study Centre and New Ashgate Gallery for this exhibition, and the success of the long-running Rising Stars program, a key professional development scheme within the field of craft.


For the exhibition, Open, each participating Rising Star was invited to be a ‘Curator for the day’ and choose work from the Crafts Study Centre’s collections. Their selections offer unique thematic pathways through the collections that cut across material specialism, from a focus on samples and test pieces, to looking at gender in textile crafts. Their response, often intuitive based on the limited time of their research visits to the Centre, attest to the relevance and vitality of twentieth century British studio craft to practitioners today.


After an introduction to the exhibition at the Crafts Study Centre, there will be a panel discussion between Director of the Crafts Study Centre, Stephen Knott, and four of the Rising Stars: Libby Daniels, Laura Gibbs, Charlotte Smith and Barbara Sulzberger.


Tea/coffee provided. Part of the Open event series supported by Knowledge Exchange funding from the University for the Creative Arts.
