Deviants: A Craft Council Touring Exhibition Deviants is an exhibition of 16 curious pieces from the Crafts Council's Collection that deviate widly from what we think of as traditional craft.Playful and bizarre aberrations of familiar objects-teapots with legs,an unfurling jug and a glove with 25 fingers-delight and disarm in equal measure. The functional becomes dysfunctional in the hands of ten skilled maverick makers.Artist and writer The Lonely Piper provides a unique gallery guide to reflect this alternative and subversive face of craft.This exhibition features work by Felicity Aylieff,Jill Crowley,Gillian Lowndes,Carol McNicholl,Henry Pim, Freddie Robbins, Richard Slee, Hans Stofer, Angus Suttie and Christopher Williams.
