This exhibition and sale, featuring works by graduates of the Osaka University of Arts' Crafts Department, has been held annually since 2016. It brings together promising artists who have honed their skills in the fields of "metalwork," "ceramics," "textiles and dyeing," and "glasswork." In addition to graduates active in diverse fields, this exhibition also includes booths by faculty, staff, and current students. It aims to convey the essence of craftsmanship born from daily dedication and the "power" of sincere craftsmanship.

Osaka University of Arts, Department of Crafts

A place to explore materials, master techniques, and expand new possibilities in expression. That is the Department of Crafts at Osaka University of Arts. The four courses—metalwork, clay, textiles, and glass—collaborate across boundaries, honing traditional analog sensibilities and contemporary digital communication skills. Through trial and error in a well-equipped production environment, we cultivate artists who will shape the future of Japanese craftsmanship.
