Creative director LOEWE; Jonathan Andersson,
the artist Jennifer Lee and the actress Helen Mirren.
Den 3 maj tillkännagavs vinnaren av LOEWE Craft Prize 2018, jag var en av de 30 finalisterna som kunde få priset. Denna gången gick priset till keramikern Jennifer Lee, UK på en summa av 50 000€. En välförtjänt prisvinnare så jag sänder alla mina gratulationer till henne.
Priset delades ut av skådespelaren Helen Mirren och juryen som hade valt ut vinnaren.
Det delades också ut 2 Honorable Prize till textil konstnären Simone Pheulpin, Frankrike och keramikern Takuro Kuwata, Japan.
I övrigt vill jag tacka LOEWE Foundation för deras helt otroliga professionella och imötekommande värdskap.
Jag kan säga att vi finalister alla kände oss som vinnare och väl omhändertagna. Och det bästa av allt, att vi 30 finalister fick mötas och lära känna varandra lite grann. Kontakter med kollegor betyder väldigt mycket.
Utställningen av alla finalister finns på Design Museet i London och pågår mellan den 4 Maj – 17 Juni 2018. Har du möjlighet att se den, gör det. du kommer att få se konsthantverk med hög kvalité!
