Make Plates

Tectonic Plates: where art and industry collide

This is a great opportunity for community groups to become involved in a large project to create a collection of art plates that are designed to be displayed on the wall, rather than used as tableware. Groups taking part will be helped to design and produce their own plates, and some of the finished articles will be included in an exhibition and book.
