Craft is part of our everyday encounters – think of bowls, vases, jugs – and seen commonly in domestic settings. It is not bound historically to the framework of museum displays, but in many of the craft exhibitions seen today the work on display showcases breadth, variety and innovation in exhibition design and curation.
As artists continue their journey into creating curious objects that challenge our perception of what craft is and can be, curators are helping bridge this narrative to a diverse range of viewers.
