We are delighted to celebrate this year’s MA Contemporary Crafts Graduate Showcase – a true testament to the creativity, dedication, and exceptional talent of our postgraduate students. Each maker has taken their practice to new heights, demonstrating not only creativity but also critical engagement and theoretical depth. The work on display is both visually striking and intellectually stimulating, and we are extremely proud to see our graduates presenting at such a high professional standard.
