Ceramic Patchwork Installation

by | Aug 14, 2010 | Uncategorized

16th August, 2010

Part of august craft month

Relating craft to the ethos of the Slow Movement – a reconnection to self, materials and its positive impact for our quality of life – ceramicist Gail Mahon invites members of the public to contribute and engage with the sculptural works that will be developed during a week installation at the Tower Museum.
By bringing together old and new elements in a ceramic ‘patchwork’, the installation work examines the future of craft and explores the relationship people have with craft objects and their perceptions of value. Collaboration
Gail will work alongside the Mission Hall Quilters’ Group to add to their installation work. Within a sewing circle, the group will use traditional patchwork techniques to create long lengths of fabric to thread
the ceramic beads and components. Join Gail to share in the experience and explore craft skills and creativity as the installation evolves throughout the week. The outcomes will be displayed as part of Mahon’s solo exhibition in 2011.
Where: The Tower Museum, Union Hall Place, BT48 6LU
