Created to encourage experimentation and discovery, the award supports makers to explore new materials, processes and ideas within their practice.

Each edition of the award celebrates the relationship between skilled making and material innovation. Since its launch in 2020, thirteen Jorum Craft Awards have helped makers to develop new work, experiment creatively and deepen or strengthen their material knowledge and skills.
