We are delighted to present ‘The Art of Paper’, a showcase of British craft in partnership with the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust (QEST). Visitors to Haddon can enjoy this exhibition of the best in paper craft and printmaking skills throughout the hall, included with their admission ticket.
Following two successful collaborations in previous years, Haddon Hall has joined with the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust (QEST) for a third showcase of contemporary craft. For The Art of Paper we are proud to feature a selection of work by QEST Alumni, chosen by Lady Edward Manners to resonate with the history and craft heritage of Haddon, its gardens and parklands. This showcase demonstrates how traditional paper craft and printmaking skills are employed and evolved by modern makers to beautiful effect.
QEST is a charity that transforms the careers of talented and aspiring makers by funding their training and education, creating pathways to excellence and strengthening the future of the UK’s craft sector. Through key partnership programmes, the charity also inspires the next generation to explore craft and making careers.
