Launched in 2010, Jerwood Makers Open is a biennial opportunity focusing on UK makers who propose to make ambitious, radical work in their first years of practice.
Five artists, Sam Bakewell, Juli Bolaños-Durman, Jessica Harrison, Marcin Rusak and Laura Youngson Coll, were selected from 271 submissions.
Each received grants to develop and tour new work in a diverse range of materials. Exhibits incorporate chainsaw-carved wood, parian porcelain, repurposed glass, organic waste, vellum and fish skin.
Two day event celebrating the work of the very best artists and makers in the South-West on Exeter's beautiful Cathedral Green.
See work being created, talk to the makers, buy something created with skill and love to treasure and enjoy the free entertainment. Now in its 40th year!
