Grounded in Material
A Discussion on Materials and Responsible Production in Crafts and Design
Featuring Gareth Neal and Peter Marigold, both Designer & Makers, alongside Sarah Myerscough, Managing Director of Sarah Myerscough Gallery and Creative Director of The New Craftmaker. Moderated by Gilda Bruno, Editor of COSE Journal and Lifestyle Editor of Livingetc.
10 years of Cluster, this conversation explores material-led practices in contemporary craft and design, with a focus on how artists engage deeply with materials as a starting point for making. In dialogue with the exhibition, it considers evolving relationships with materials and what responsible production looks like in craft and design today.
The discussion will also examine the relationship between artists and gallerists, and how collaboration and shared values influence how work is made and supported. Bringing together two artists and their gallerist, the panel reflects on how material-driven practices operate within both studio and gallery contexts today.
