Exhibition

KINETIC

24 January - 18 April 2026
10am-5pm
Free to all

A large-scale exhibition showing the possibilities of movement and making.

KINETIC celebrates the ingenuity of artists, makers, and designers who bring objects to life through movement. From Victoria Walker’s jewellery that transforms, to Jan Zalud’s playful automata, and Pi Manson’s bespoke bicycles, the exhibition spans the simple and the complex, the decorative and the everyday.

Works are made from a wide range of materials — from precious and rare to scrap and recycled — showing that creativity can begin anywhere, with anything. This mix of approaches offers both sustainable and accessible inspiration for all visitors.

Contemporary makers push the story further: Lewis Brown’s digital drawing machines turn code into expressive mark-making; Matt Gilbert uses digital methods to achieve extraordinary precision in craft; and Anam Hasan combines 3D printing and laser cutting to create ingenious working trains.

Here, craft and engineering come together not just to solve problems, but to spark wonder and fire up the imagination of the next generation.
