Highlights Contemporary Craft Tour 2016
A stunning exhibition showcasing the best of current paper-cut and artist’s books. From exquisite hand-cut paper to the latest laser-cut techniques; ambitious sculptural paper works, installation and intimate book works. The artists explore a variety of themes with a deft stitch here, a sharp scalpel there, coated with a generous helping of wry humour. The exhibition shows work by British and international stars of paper-cut and artist’s books as well as exciting emerging artists:
Rob Ryan Mayumi Arakawa
Linda Toigo Priya Pereira
Andy Singleton Chloe Wing
Clare Lindley Jan Hopkins
Christian Barnes Elizabeth Shorrock
Annwyn Dean Les Bicknell
Florence Boyd Alison Waters
Elizabeth Willow Claire Peach
Nicky McNaney Shannon Bartlett-Smith
Marta Daeuble Joanna Robson
