The Year of Making at Yorkshire Artspace
Sheffield's Year of Making 2016 not only celebrates creativity but also the city's growing strength in partnership working. Led by the Sheffield Culture Consortium, with main partners Museums Sheffield and the University of Sheffield, the Year of Making 2016 celebrates Sheffield's past, present and future as a city of makers.
There's so much happening in our Year of Making programme this spring! We've recently selected the winning applicants for our Year of Making Microgrants and we'll soon be announcing who's been awarded the Year of Making 2016 High Sheriff Commission that will give a Sheffield city-region artist or maker the chance to work in residence at Manor Lodge Primary School.
The Precious Little Gems commissions are newly installed in the Millennium Gallery, two glorious examples of the fine metalworking that continues to flourish in Sheffield and the result of our long partnership with Sheffield Assay Office and Museums Sheffield.
We're also welcoming applications for our Starter Studio Programmes, which support early career ceramicists and designer silversmiths.
Makers Dozen: In-source is now showing at Made North Gallery and in this spring newsletter, we also feature classes and workshops that our artists and makers are offering to the public, so you can get making yourself.
