Inspired by Urban Nature? Applications are now open for Round 7 of the Jorum Craft Award.
The Jorum Craft Award provides funding to support makers’ exploration of materials, including but not limited to research and development of a new piece of work, project or collection. Each Craft Award centres around a theme, exploring the intersection between technical skill and material innovation.
The theme for Round 7 (summer 2023) is Urban Nature. Your work may explore urban environments and its interplay with nature or perhaps your ideas about urban life (urbanity). Each theme can be interpreted by the maker through their materials, concepts, designs whether this is literally or abstractly.
We are looking for proposals for new bodies of work that explore Urban Nature and that investigate different approaches to materiality.
Applicants must be able to demonstrate a clear view of their future development (and/or that of a particular project), and how receiving the Jorum Craft Award would help them to achieve their goals.
Jorum Studio is a Scottish perfumer established 2010 – creating perfumes conceived of the head, nurtured with heart, crafted by hand.
