Traditionally the preserve of applied artists, in recent years craft techniques have increasingly crossed over into fine art territory, often with a radical or subversive edge. Contemporary Eye: Crossovers celebrates this experimentation, featuring works - sometimes shocking in nature - by artists such as Grayson Perry and Barnaby Barford which reimagine traditional techniques to bring new meanings and arguments to their work.
