Please join us for the opening of KINETIC, Where craft meets engineering.
A large-scale exhibition showing the possibilities of movement and making, KINETIC celebrates the ingenuity of artists, makers, and designers who bring objects to life through movement. From Victoria Walker’s jewellery that transforms, to Jan Zalud’s playful automata, and Pi Manson’s bespoke bicycles, the exhibition spans the simple and the complex, the decorative and the everyday.
Works are made from a wide range of materials—from precious and rare to scrap and recycled—showing that creativity can begin anywhere, with anything. This mix of approaches offers both sustainable and accessible inspiration for all visitors.. We look forward to welcoming you to this celebration, opened by Phil Gibby, Director, Arts Council England Southwest.
EXHIBITION RUNS 24 January - 18 April 2026
