The Materials Research Fellow will collaborate with artists, makers, and specialists to assess and enhance the Center’s Materials Collection, with an emphasis on acquiring novel sustainable materials. The fellow will utilize their research findings to optimize the collection for artists’ needs by creating a comprehensive management plan for ongoing care, maintenance, and the incorporation of future materials.
Findings from the Materials Research Fellowship will inform the development of the Center for Craft's new artist access and activation program, coming in 2026, with an aim to support innovation in craft by increasing artists’ access to and understanding of sustainable materials.
