The Apprenticeship
Rediscover the skill and style of traditional crafts and trades.
Overview
First things first: no, Artisan hasn't fashioned its own take on the reality TV show that once beamed a certain wannabe US presidential candidate into our living rooms. Instead, the gallery has turned over its space to thirteen creatives that were once apprentices in fields as varied as shoemaking and blacksmithing.
If those areas all sound like traditional crafts and trades that have come under threat from modern mass production methods, that's because they are. That's part of the point of the exhibition. By showcasing the creations of talented leather makers, woodworkers and more, The Apprenticeship shines a spotlight on the skill and style evident in their work.
Of course, highlighting the training aspect of pursuing handcraft-oriented careers is also on the agenda, hence the choice of name. As you peruse their efforts, you'll discover their stories, learn how they got to where they are, and consider the future of everything from sign-writing to brick-making.
