Hosted by the CIT Crawford College of Art and Design, MAKE 2019 will be our sixth in a series of annual Symposia that explore issues of making.

Fritz Horstman will also open our MAKE 2019 exhibition, TOUCH, at 6:00 just after the Symposium, in the CIT CCAD Gallery at 46 Grand Parade, Cork, This show runs until 30 March 2019. TOUCH is created by selected textile students of CIT Crawford College of Art and Design; Pallas University of Applied Arts; and Vilnius Academy of Arts, Lithuania in an exchange project inspired by the ethos of Anni Albers who championed the tactility and emotional power of cloth.
