ABOUT LUSTRE
Lustre is the midlands’ premier selling opportunity for contemporary, innovative craft. Exhibiting here is your chance to reach the discerning crafts consumer and to tap into the lucrative pre-Christmas gift market.

Lustre provides an exceptionally highquality retail experience. It attracted over 4,800 visitors in 2009. A comprehensive marketing strategy ensures a consistently high profile for the event amongst key identified markets and it is successful in attracting both regional and national press coverage.

Lustre prides itself on providing the highest standard of support for participating makers, ensuring that your work is shown at its best.

We invite you to apply to take part in Lustre 2010 and welcome applications from makers working in all forms and materials including metal, jewellery, ceramics, glass, wood and textiles.

The selection panel meets on 24 March 2010 and consists of Lakeside gallery staff, invited curators and crafts specialists. The selection is based on the following criteria:

• quality of conception and realisation
• work produced in a contemporary idiom
• the need to achieve a balance of media and pricing across the market.
