Granby Workshop Installation
August 2021 - Sat 25 September 2021
Location: Gallery 7, first floor
This display has been created from products made by Granby Workshop, an innovative ceramics studio based in the L8 area of Liverpool. Granby Workshop grew out of wider community-led efforts to rebuild the neighbourhood and was founded as a collaboration between The Granby Four Streets Community Land Trust and the London-based design collective Assemble. Granby Workshop were part of the Assemble collaboration which was awarded the Turner Prize in 2015.
Granby Workshop products are designed through extensive material investigations, combining craft techniques with an experimental sensibility to develop new architectural materials and finishes.
The team continue to work closely with the Granby Four Streets Community Land Trust on products and projects and they form part of their board advising on the direction of the workshop.
These Granby Workshop products were presented to the VG&M by the Contemporary Art Society through their Rapid Response Fund.
