Pattern, Line, Form: a free online discussion 2nd March

To celebrate the exhibition ‘Pattern, Line, Form’ at the Makers Guild Wales, join us on Zoom on the 2nd March 12-1pm to meet the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust (QEST), glean insight into the physical show and enjoy a discussion with three of the exhibiting QEST Scholars.

What are the roles and relationships of pattern, line and form in the creation of the featured works, and the way the pieces in the show communicate with one another? To what extent do the makers impose rules of pattern, line and form on their works, or to what extent are these principals dictated by the materials? What other factors, such as experiences and training, influence these sensibilities?

Register here for this free event, and read more about our panellists below.
