The first key outcome of the urban FIELD collaboration is a significant exhibition exploring the rural/urban theme and its meaning for some of the Britain's most celebrated craft artists. These issues are also addressed in the urban FIELD book, published in April 2007. This book of essays is also a statement about the need to reflect and comment publicly on a rich craft theme, and to claim an importance for writing about the crafts. Essays by leading craft historians Linda Sandino and Sophie Heath are joined by contributions from two practitioners, one based in the city (Emmanuel Cooper) and one based in Devon (Ambre France).
The book is published by the Crafts Study Centre of behalf of urban FIELD and is available from all three venues, priced £8.99.
