Works featured will include stunning metalwork create d using computer aided design\, futuristic 3D printed ceramics and unique jewellery made using laser cutting.\n\nThe exhibition shows digital craft becoming ever more advanced. Rapidly developing technologies are empower ing makers and allowing new skillsets to come to the fore. Forms created u sing these techniques show the futuristic potential of craft media. These  makers also demonstrate a commitment to authenticity and originality.\n\ nBeatwoven (founded by Nadia-Anne Rickets) is an award winning\, avant ga rde textile label. Beatwoven explore pattern by using coded audio techno logy as an instrument to translate and reveal invisible sonic geometry t hat creates beats and sounds in music which are fused onto textiles.\n\nJo anna Bury specialises in contemporary\, statement jewellery pieces formed in a range of different materials\, such as sand-blasted acrylic and preci ous metals. Her design style combines traditional techniques &\; new di gital methods such a laser cutting\, adorning the body with feminine lace- like patterns.\n\nVanessa Cutler creates glass works using waterjet cuttin g technology to create shapes and forms. In recent years she has been inve stigating the  creative uses of waterjet cutting. Her work is concerned w ith pushing the  parameters of the technology. This has led to developme nt of new works.\n\nRebecca Gouldson makes metal wall pieces. Images are  created from digital photographs\, drawings and prints. Using a combinat ion of paper and digital collage\, she layers  images before they are etc hed into  the surface of metal. Her influences include the built environm ent and  landscapes.\n\nJoan and Jack Hardie have been making ceramics f or over 40 years. In 2014 they decided to experiment with printing  clay using a 3D printer. Form is dominant in their designs\, with inspiration drawn from nature. They work in both porcelain and glazed stoneware.\n\nK athryn Hinton merges traditional silver-smith skills with digital technolo gy.  She uses a digital hammer to create  forms\, combined with computer aided  design software. This  mimics the physical actions of silver-smi thing.  Surfaces are  manipulated and faceted showing the progression of the hammer strikes through silver.\n\nJonathan Keep has developed a worki ng process whereby  shapes of his  ceramics are written in computer code . This digital information is then  passed to a studio based\, self buil t 3D printer\, which he has designed to  print in clay.\n\nKaty Luxton e mploys hand techniques and new technology such as 3D printing to create ta ctile\, wearable jewellery. She takes her inspiration from mathematical models\, geometric shapes and the interwoven curves\, circles and figures produced by a Spirograph toy.\n\nRachel McKnight challenges the concept of wearable jewellery. She originally hand cut all works\, but in the la st couple of years Rachel has embraced technology and with the help of las er cutting is now developing  work with more intricate designs.\n\nMoira Walton uses photographic imagery to create textile  designs. Images  ar e enhanced\, adapted\, collaged  and  coloured using computer software  and then imposed  digitally onto silk georgette.\n\nFuture Forwards is curated by Gallery Officer\, Frances Gill-Smith.\n\nWeb: www.bluecoatdispl aycentre.com\n\nBluecoat Display Centre\, \nAt the Bluecoat\, \nCollege La ne\, \nLiverpool\, L1 3BZ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.artinliverpool.com/wp-content/upload s/2017/01/future-forwards-kathryn-hinton.jpg LOCATION:Bluecoat Display Centre\, The Bluecoat\, College Lane Entrance\, L iverpool\, L1 3BZ\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom GEO:53.404162;-2.984092 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The Bluecoat\, College Lane Entrance\, Liverpool\, L1 3BZ\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS =100;X-TITLE=Bluecoat Display Centre:geo:53.404162,-2.984092 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20161030T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20170326T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
