CUT & CAST

A tactile dialogue where material memory meets monumental gesture.

CUT&CAST brings together two distinct makers,each exploring the expressive potential of material through form, fracture,and surface. Presented on campus at MTU Gallery at 46 Grand Parade, this exhibition features the work of one current and one retired staff member from Crawford College of Art & Design. The project by Kate O’Kelly and Andrea Barron celebrates the transmission of craft knowledge,highlighting the enduring value of skill-sharing, mentorship,andmaterialexplorationin thefieldofceramics. Through a selection of materials and processes the exhibition will reflecton how traditional techniques are preserved and adapted. Both artists share a deep commitment to the preservation of ceramic skills and the importance of hands - on learning within art education.Their practices are rooted in a respect for material processes and a belief in the power of making as a form of knowledge transfer.
