The Jerwood Contemporary Makers 2010 exhibition is the third and final in a curated series intended to give voice and profile to some of the applied arts world's most playful, thoughtful and skilled artists, at a valuable point in their development.

The selectors and curators of 2010's show, Hans Stofer (chair), Richard Slee and Freddy Robins have negotiated their carefully made curatorial decisions not based on the use or function of the objects seen in the show, but on their inherent value as things.
