An exhibition exploring how makers are recycling and repurposing materials has opened at Make, a gallery dedicated to craft run by Hauser & Wirth in the Somerset town of Bruton.
The show, called Re-Use, Re-Think, Re-Imagine, features 54 pieces across disciplines from glass and ceramics to furniture, in order to showcase a wide range of possible approaches to the topic.
The Re-Use, Re-Think, Re-Imagine exhibition features works from seven different makers and designers
Jacqueline Moore, curator and director of Make gallery, told Dezeen that artisans have been exploring sustainability and new materials long before the recent trend. She chose projects that reflect this for the show.
"Sustainability, environmental considerations and the exploration of new materials are themes which many makers have long been engaged with," Moore said. "Even before the more recent, topical concerns." "The exhibition seeks to continue and broaden the dialogue and to reveal new possibilities for materials, methods and techniques," she explained.
