Hothouse5
In 2014 we teamed up with Manchester School of Art to help select a cohort of 11 new makers to participate in Hothouse 5 in the North. With four of the workshops taking place here at MCDC we had a unique opportunity to meet the cohort and follow their journey as they grew in confidence and began the process of setting up and developing their professional practice.
Hothouse exhibition
The cohort will have a chance to put their new-found skills into action and showcase their work in an exhibition here at MCDC which will be open from September 10 to November 8. Keep an eye on our website for more information coming soon.
