Join curator Joanna Bird as she hosts a guided tour of A Fine Line: Modern Makers at Pitzhanger.
Hear how each of the exhibition’s artists, including Emmanuel Boos, Joseph Harrington and Prue Cooper and a host of other makers working across ceramics and glass utilise their chosen materials to create objects of rigour and beauty and how these have been placed in the context of Soane’s manor to uncover connections across craft, design, and history.
