Following the HAT Interactive Week in July 2003, material from the residencies was curated into an international touring exhibition including un/finished work, evidence of research, process and personal documentation. The exhibition (subject to confirmation) will tour in both England and Australia, accompanied by a public programme of seminars and workshops.

The placing of the exhibition tour is closely linked to the sites of the residency hosts, and to the regions where the H.A.T. jewellers live and work thereby ensuring a continuity of presence and partnership.
