The programme will work with up to 30 makers over the two years. To date 14 makers have been selected to take part in this programme. They are: Juliette Bigley, Simone Brewster, Edmond Byrne, Juli Bolaños-Durman, Emily Gardiner, Joseph Harrington, Jochen Holz, Marlène Huissoud, Shelley James, Eleanor Lakelin, Shauna Richardson, Marcin Rusak, Nicola Tassie and Andrea Walsh.
The following independent and expert panel selected these makers: Mark Eley (Eley Kishimoto), Max Fraser, Catherine Lock (The New Craftsmen), Ambra Medda, Jonathan Reed, Beverley Rider and Annie Warburton (Crafts Council).
A Future Made is a partnership programme from the Crafts Council, The New Craftsmen, Craft Scotland and Ruthin Craft Centre. It is funded by Arts Council England and Arts Council Wales and it is supported by the GREAT Britain campaign.
