Power of Making

A collaboration between the V&A and the Crafts Council, this exhibition presents 100 crafted objects –by professionals and amateurs – in a cabinet of curiosities that explores traditional and time-honoured ways of making, as well as innovations taking place around the world. Exhibits include a life-size crochet bear, a ceramic eye patch, a metal flute, an example of Savile Row tailoring, a section of dry stone wall, handcrafted puppets from the 2009 film 'Fantastic Mr Fox', a lion-shaped Ghanaian coffin and new technologies such as 3D printing, and bio implants that aid surgical procedures.
