Manchester Craft & Design Centre have teamed up with mental health charity 42nd Street on a new exhibition with residents Imprint of Earth and artist Lily Brown.
Over the summer, Lily Brown in partnership with 42nd Street, and resident makers Shakti and Bhaggie Patel from Imprints of Earth, explored what ‘Creativity Means to Me’. Together they reflected, played, and unearthed a series of ceramics which showcased their shared experience and drive to step into the unknown.
Lily embraces perfect imperfections in her work and finds joy in interpreting the world around her. Deeply inspired by nature, Lily translates the landscape into objects people can enjoy in their homes. Imprints of Earth are a mother and daughter duo who are passionate about creativity as a healing force. They find beauty in the unpredictability of ceramics and create one-off pieces which celebrate the imperfect and bring a little spirit to your surroundings.
Together Imprints of Earth and Lily have produced a series of sculptural pieces which honour our connection to nature and explore creativity.
