Projects and collaborations rarely spring into existence fully formed. Hilary Williams examines a short project that developed into a major programme, led to the setting up of a new arts business, and to jeweller Mah Rana uncovering new tracts of material and experience.
Hilary Williams talks to four artists about how they have developed specific products. She learns about their initial motivation and inspiration, how they developed their ideas into production and what marketing strategies they employed for these particular products.
