She founded Flow Gallery in Notting Hill 10 years ago with the remit of showing both British and international applied artists’ work where she curates 6 shows yearly.

From her own curatorial experience and recent involvement with the Shape of Things initiative, Yvonna will discuss how both non-specialists and specialists can develop ideas, concepts and practical measures to curate craft exhibitions.

The Craft Exhibitions Group (CEG) convenes on a 6-monthly basis and is open to any individual or organisation that is involved in programming, curating and staging exhibitions. The meetings provide a platform to provide information on international exhibition opportunities, contacts and touring programmes and to discuss upcoming craft events and activities including August Craft Month.
