This exhibition brings together examples of the tapestries created, alongside examples of works in other media by the selected artists.
Raising the Bar brings together 12 senior designers and makers in the field of international silver and metalwork from Japan to Scotland. Exhibitors include Scotland’s Malcolm Appleby and former Alessi designer from Australia Robert Foster. This exhibition has been curated through IC: Innovative Craft - a new exhibition partner in the Dovecot building.
