Cleaver, Jamie Bruski Tetsill and Kristine Mandsberg. The exhibition not only showcases young design talent from
Scotland and beyond, but illustrates the domestic nature of media such as ceramics and textiles.

Outstanding pieces of silversmithing and jewellery by such renowned makers as Rod Kelly, the master of flat chasing;
Jane Short, the enamellist; Jacqueline Mina, goldsmith and winner of the Jerwood Prize; Professor Hiroshi Suzuki; and
Malcolm Appleby, the distinguished engraver will be on show. The display will also present work from silversmiths and
jewellers now beginning to establish their careers such as Lin Cheung, Ndidi Ekubia and Angela Cork. 
The first in a series of 4 exhibitions which delve into the process of tapestry, this exhibition will explore ‘Pause on the Landing’, a tapestry designed by Patrick Caulfield, woven at Dovecot Studios and commissioned especially for the British Library.
