about

MaP is a collective of applied artists based in Wales. Formed in 2001 by a group working on the Contemporary Textile Practice degree course at Cardiff School of Art & Design (UWIC) who felt the need for a supportive network of creative, innovative and like-minded makers. All have a strong academic and professional background with a wealth of complementary experience in a surprising variety of fields - stitch, weave, print, knit, constructed textiles, digital textiles, illustration, metalwork and jewellery. Some already have national and international reputations and all are passionate about their own work and about expanding the audience for contemporary art and craft by:
- raising its profile
- increasing links within the sector and outside
- researching new techniques
- encouraging others to become involved.
