Unfamiliar

Craft's 2026 Fresh! Fellowship present Unfamiliar.

Spanning jewellery, ceramics, textiles, glass, furniture and object design, the Fresh! Fellows respond to a throughline that unifies their work: an immersion in centuries-old craft traditions paired with the curiosity to traverse unexpected territory.

This dichotomy between traditional and unconventional provides the Fresh! Fellows with a catalyst to consider where their practices sit within established craft lineages. Lines blur between form and function, echoing the codes of the past while playing with the boundaries of expectation to cultivate new material languages.

Initiated in 2024, The Fresh! Fellowship provides 10 months of professional mentorship support to emerging artists, and is generously supported by the Amaeah Foundation.
