Curator Tour with Will Kew

Join us for a free tour of Break the Mould with co-curator Will Kew, Ikon Education Coordinator.  

Ikon presents Break the Mould, the final exhibition in a trilogy exploring craft, art school pedagogies and contemporary art practice. This show focuses on ceramics, positioning clay as a site of experimentation. Break the Mould  transforms the gallery into a laboratory for residencies, collaborative making and public engagement. Throughout the exhibition visitors will see artists at work and take part in activities that bring the process of making to life.  

The exhibition is co-curated by Daphne Chu, Ikon Curator, and Will Kew, Ikon’s Education Coordinator. Daphne Chu said “Break the Mould shows clay as a material that transforms. It links past traditions with future possibilities.”  Will Kew adds “This is a space for making and learning together. It’s about care, creativity and sharing ideas.”  

This exhibition is generously supported by Jerwood Foundation, Freelands Foundation and ai. gallery.
