Presented by JamFactory and the Australian Design Centre, this major new national award aims to acknowledge the wealth and diversity of creative talent in Australian craft and design. Working across fields such as ceramics, glass, furniture, metal, jewellery, textiles and fibre, the designers/makers were encouraged to work with new materials or work with traditional materials in a fresh and innovative way. The thirty finalists selected are among the most dynamic designers/makers today. The inaugural winner, Vipoo Srivilasa, creates playful ceramics that blend European historical figurines with Asian decorative art.
