This exhibition explores and celebrates the work of artists, designers and craftspeople who are creating extraordinary works using renewable natural resources.

Craft Sustained includes cultivated wares from fungi, bacteria, and yeast, alongside objects made using waste from food production and industry. The exhibition also celebrates methods that consider the entire life-cycle of an object.

From furniture, fashion, accessories, to architectural materials, ceramics, and sculptural objects; Craft Sustained showcases innovative collaborations between material developers, makers, and designers, and is a fascinating exhibition of sustainable & ethical craft and design.
