    What does craft mean to you?
     
    Does craft need to be functional, can it be funny, does it have to be beautiful and should it tackle the big topics of the day?

    Featuring a series of recent works, Human and Object is part of the gallery’s ongoing commitment in highlighting freshly graduated jewellery artists through the Klimt02 Jplus Emerging Talent Award. This show pays homage to the world of material matters in capturing the significance of everyday objects.
     
    The explorative handling of the technology of welding activates in my workflow a new ornamental function.

    Laura Quinn

    Laura Quinn will be present some of her spectacular wearables: she marries glass to materials such as metal or off-cuts of leather to create dramatic, flexible and eminently functional jewellery. ‘I want people to touch it, to not be frightened of glass,’ says the artist, who will also be exhibiting with North Lands Creative. ‘I was trying to push through the psychological barrier that glass is too fragile to wear or handle – that it has to be put on a shelf to gather dust.’ In creating objects that invite emotional attachment and resist our unthinking, throwaway culture, these works fit in with her wider interest in reducing the environmental impact of glasswork.

    Collect International Art Fair for Modern Craft and Design is at Somerset House, London, from 27 February to 1 March.
