Nadia-Anne Ricketts selected for Crafts Council Hothouse 2015

Nadia-Anne Ricketts has been selected as one of the thirty nine new makers for the Crafts Council Hothouse 2015. Nadia fuses digital technologies and weaving by using a bespoke software program which translates audio into visual patterns.

Hothouse has quickly established itself as a gold-standard professional development programme for new makers. Over the last four years 122 participants have completed the programme with 100% of last year’s cohort of 38 saying that the programme had enabled them to think differently about the direction of their career.

The 39 makers selected already display a high level of technical craftsmanship and originality but the programme, which starts in February 2015, will equip them with the business and creative skills needed to run a successful and sustainable craft practice.

Rosy Greenlees, Executive Director, Crafts Council added:

“Hothouse has proven itself an invaluable programme for early career makers and it is only possible by working with knowledgeable and enthusiastic partners”
