Monthly Happenings | October
Rooted in the relationship between craftsmanship, history and storytelling, Folklore, Myths & Legends is a group exhibition curated by artist Venetia Higgins. Across painting, ceramics, textiles, woodwork, printmaking, sculpture and metalwork by 36 contemporary makers, the show reflects the continued relevance of traditional craft and handmade objects. Symbolic animal motifs and references to local tales feature across the pieces, forming a rich and varied curation of work.
