This unique award is directed at makers steeped in practice using
materials singly or in combination. Such materials might include fired
clay or glass; fine or base metals; textiles using any kinds of
applications; wood; plastics; paper or other materials not included in
this list, where the emphasis is based upon the transformation of
materials through the use of sustained practice towards a series of
critical outcomes.


It aims to assist makers to investigate and develop a body of work which would otherwise be unaffordable.

The period of the award will culminate in an exhibition of work on public display in Northern Ireland.

Deadline for applications:

Friday 26th August 2016 at 4pm
