To directly mark the world that surrounds us with text is an enduring human need, and there is great material complexity to this expression. This includes fluid techniques atop a surface: brushwork, calligraphy, slip decoration; and various forms of inscription: lettercarving, scratching, sgraffito. This exhibition uses the Crafts Study Centre™s collections to explore the encounters that result from writing on, or into a surface.
The Crafts Study Centre nurtures and celebrates the study and practice of craft in all its diverse forms. Harnessing the rich collections of twentieth and twenty-first century studio craft in its care including maker archives, the Centre intends to make research into craft history and practice more accessible, dynamic, and relevant to audiences both in-person and online. Exhibitions and events are free and the Centre™s research library is available by appointment for anyone with an interest in our collections.
