Modern Makers introduces the next generation of artists, makers and designers. Like so many before them, artists from The Northern School of Art, Teesside, have been inspired by The Bowes Museum’s unique collection. Through a series of ornamental objects and textiles, this show presents their 21st century responses to one of the most significant fine and decorative arts collections in the country.
Shown alongside rarely seen, and re-sited pieces, this series of work introduces visitors to the production process behind an exhibited object; showcasing the stages from initial design to realised artwork through a collection of source drawings and film.
