Launched by the Jerwood Charitable Foundation in 2008, a series of three annual exhibitions supports and showcases emerging creative talent. The exhibition which has been designed by product designer Michael Marriot, explores the notion of making from a variety of creative perspectives. The exhibition takes visitors on a journey through the different approaches to making, highlighting the importance of the applied arts as a visual arts discipline.
