𝙍𝙝𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙢, the upcoming August Craft Month exhibition, is now accepting applications! This year, we invite makers to consider the connections between making and music.

Are you drawn to the rhythm and repetition of traditional music, where patterns emerge, repeat and develop? Do you visualise harmony and tone in your work or does it call to mind a soundscape? Or see the movement and flow of a lyric? A musician playing in a group may bring a new interpretation to a piece in that context – does working in a collaboration drive new elements of your practice? Has a song sparked an impulse or an idea that you want to express through your making? Or perhaps the tactile pull of the materials used in instrument-making – metal, wood, leather and textile – open areas for exploration for you.

We invite you to consider these and other interpretations of the theme for our August Craft Month exhibition 2026 and we look forward to receiving your proposals!
