In support of new, emerging talent, each year our resident makers hand pick promising ‘Future Makers’ to showcase their work here at Manchester Craft and Design Centre. These new designers are either currently studying, recent graduates or newly emerging and this opportunity will bring their beautiful work into the spotlight. This exhibition will guide you around the Centre, allowing you to discover our innovative Future Makers work within our resident makers studios.

Featuring the work of emerging talents:

Kitty Jones – Studio 1

Ralph Shuttleworth – Studio 10

Freja Burgess – Studio 21

Lois Jane Wiseman – Studio 22

Hayley Grafflin – Studio 22

Rachael Allcoat – Studio 24

Amy Quinn – Studio 26

‘Future Makers 2018’ will run throughout the Centre between 08/02/2018 – 31/03/2018. Find our innovative Future Makers work in a selection of our resident makers studios.

Free Launch Event: 8th February 2018 6-8pm.
