Round 2 of the Jorum Craft Award is now open for applications. The Jorum Craft Award (£500) provides funding to assist with development of a maker’s creative practice, including but not limited to research and development of a new piece of work, project or collection.
As we are keen to celebrate the breadth of contemporary craft that is happening today, we are especially encouraging applications from Black, Asian, Mixed Heritage and People of Colour, refugee, D/deaf, disabled, working class and LGBTQIA+ makers. Applicants should be working in one or more of Craft Scotland’s eligible disciplines (http://bit.ly/2MW71UO) and previous Jorum Craft Award applicants are welcome to reapply.
The Jorum Craft Award is supported by Scottish perfumer Jorum Studio, in association with Craft Scotland. Previous winners of the Jorum Craft Award 2020 were Florence Dwyer (£500) and Stephen Kavanagh (£250). Discover their work on the Jorum Craft Award project page: http://bit.ly/2XxVI7d
