This exhibition gathers fifteen artists whose practices are rooted in a shared respect for ancient, natural materials. Clay, flax, wild forest silk, hemp, paper — each medium holds memory in its fibres, grains, and textures. Through the intimacy of hand work, these materials are shaped into contemporary forms, carrying quiet traces of both landscape and maker. This exhibition explores how making is not only an act of creation, but also of connection: between past and present, material and imagination. Resonance invites visitors to slow down, look closely, and sense the histories held within each object. Featured formats: pigment dyes, hand spun Jakob wool, clay work, natural dye prints, printed porcelain, interlaced hemp, freestyle basketry and more.
