COLLECT 2020

I am delighted to be showing my new works with Vessel Gallery at this year’s COLLECT, in it’s new home, Somerset House, London. Come and visit us in the South Wing Booth S12.

Collect is well-positioned at the start of the international cultural calendar with over 40 galleries from the UK and around the world selling work made in the last five years by the leading craft artists working today. Collect shows the exceptional skill and intellectual rigour behind modern craft – from works in ceramics, glass, metal, wood and textiles to makers working in non-traditional materials with experimental techniques.

Crafting a more human future

I'm delighted to have been selected to show in the BEST OF EUROPE section of

Welcome to the first major exhibition showcasing the very best European craftsmanship and its link to the world of design. As today’s technology-driven society pushes us to move faster, consume more and think less, Homo Faber invites you to slow down, take a breath, and meet the people choosing a different approach. Discover the unique contribution to our modern world made by master artisans, the remarkable craftsmen and women using their hands and minds to create exceptional objects of lasting excellence. Come and experience the human spirit and talent of man the maker: Homo Faber.

Handmade at Kew

Following the storming success since its launch in 2015, Handmade in Britain will return to Kew Gardens for the third edition of HANDMADE AT KEW in October 2017!

This four-day international contemporary craft event offers you the opportunity to meet and buy directly from over 200 extraordinary designer-makers working across all disciplines including: ceramics, jewellery, fashion and textiles, glass, paper, furniture, metalwork, sculpture and interior accessories.

It’s a really special chance to invest in beautiful, unique products at a show where you can buy, browse and commission directly from the maker; unearthing the stories, inspirations and processes behind the exquisite work of some of the world’s most talented craftspeople. Most of the work on show can’t be found on the high street so it really is a one-off opportunity to shop for unique products and gifts in very picturesque setting.

The event is housed in an elegant pavilion next to Kew Palace and tickets to the event include entry to both the event and Kew Gardens, allowing you to enjoy the Gardens and crafts to the full. It’s a truly a unique shopping experience and great day out for all the family!

Flora

Alison Stockmarr, Angie Lewin, Angus McFadyen, Bob Crooks, Iron Vein – Victoria Govan & Richard Warner, Jan Beaney, Jennifer Hall, Kayo Saito, Laura Baxter, Laura Youngson Coll, Laurance Simon, Lin Sproule, Lisa Ellul, Susie Vickery, Vanessa Hogge, Victoria Walker

Flowers have been an inspiration for artists since time immemorial. The first piece of jewellery was most probably a flower garland and, as the manifestation of plants fecundity, flowers were among the first thing depicted by mankind as pictures of their cultured existence. This group exhibition shows works in many different genres, ceramics to wood engraving, glass to silver and textile and steel; all look at flora as their central theme.

Curated by Gregory Parsons, with Jane Gerrard and Philip Hughes, it was inspired by the work Ruthin Craft Centre has been doing around their pollinator planting schemes over the past two years. As we all become more aware of the importance of insects and pollinators both in our gardens and more widely for crop growing and agriculture, ‘Flora’ celebrates the world of flowers with some amazing pieces of embroidery, slipware and intaglio ceramics, lino print, jewellery, blown glass, metal and mixed media
