From 11 to 17 May 2026, London Craft Week once again transformed the city into a celebration of craftsmanship, material and making. Across galleries, studios and hidden creative spaces, artisans, designers and artists invited visitors into a world shaped by texture, gesture and time. For one week, the city seemed to slow down, offering a quieter reflection on the value of handmade creation in an increasingly fast and digital culture. A series of events at London Craft Week revealed a deeper movement in design and new trends: a return to gesture, material and slower forms of making.

It reminds us that every object carries a trace of a hand, a rhythm, a moment of creation. Across London, galleries, studios and workshops opened their doors to makers from around the world, transforming the city into a landscape of experimentation, craftsmanship and exchange. Blending design, fashion, heritage and contemporary art, London Craft Week continues to position craft not as nostalgia, but as a living and evolving form of culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5739b9e8062eaa7e12c39033b68e6033 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>JW Anderson <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-80db8df6a8c1273544fc506f194fb146 wp-block-paragraph\">Among the figures highlighted during this year\u2019s edition was Jonathan Anderson. Through his work at JW Anderson, as former creative director of Loewe and current creative director at Dior, he has played a key role in reintroducing craftsmanship to contemporary <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/garden-of-spring-2026-new-fashion-and-beauty-harvest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>fashion<\/strong><\/a>, where artisanal techniques meet experimental design. As part of London Craft Week, he also hosted a collaborative event on 13 May, further reflecting his ongoing commitment to contemporary craftsmanship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-07497d2ec63ed7a9d6fe1e96c77980a3 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ceramics Art<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a3990f97eceebd00176645c4bb1c068a wp-block-paragraph\">Ceramics exists somewhere between sculpture and memory. More than functional objects, ceramic pieces become emotional forms. Clay carries something deeply passionate within it: the visible trace of pressure, movement and imperfection left by the maker\u2019s hand. Throughout the festival, ceramics are explored as symbols of protection, beauty and belief. In an increasingly polished and digital world, the rawness of <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/hard-as-ceramic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>ceramic <\/strong><\/a>craftsmanship feels deeply human, allowing material to remain expressive, unstable and alive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Design-sans-titre-22.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"848\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Design-sans-titre-22.jpg?resize=580%2C848&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"'Flower Figure' ceramic created by Claire Curneen.

Alongside, Berry Bros. &amp; Rudd hosted experiences where craftsmanship, ritual and materiality intersected, reinforcing the growing dialogue between ceramics, hospitality and sensory culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c5d3c00a185501f79167a5c1eb902377 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Human Body <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3fdc1a1ae603f40529cf1948d95b5b45 wp-block-paragraph\">The week opened on Monday at County Hall Pottery, where artists including Fernanda Cortes, Claire Curneen, Jessica Harrison and John Rainey approached clay through distortion, delicacy and precision, transforming ceramics into a form of visual storytelling. &#8216;Refigured&#8217; stood out for its exploration of the body as both symbol and structure. Through sculptural ceramic forms inspired by human silhouettes and fragmented anatomy, the studio examined ideas of protection, identity and transformation. The pieces felt almost ritualistic, turning clay into something emotionally charged and deeply connected to the human presence behind its creation. If ceramics explored memory through material, jewellery approached it through intimacy and adornment.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Design-sans-titre-21.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"848\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Design-sans-titre-21.jpg?resize=580%2C848&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"'Flesh and Bone' ceramic made by Jessica Harrison.

In a city constantly in motion, the act of crafting <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/from-sand-to-glass-luminous-fire-makes-beautiful-jewellery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">jewellery <\/a><\/strong>by hand feels almost unyielding and intimate, standing in contrast to mass-produced jewellery. Protective motifs, fragments of mythology and traces of architecture transformed adornment into something deeply personal. Objects shaped not only to be worn, but to be preserved, inherited and emotionally connected to the body itself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Design-sans-titre-23.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"848\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Design-sans-titre-23.jpg?resize=580%2C848&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Event at Azza Fahmy, picture of the Jewellery and biography.

The Egyptian jewellery house is celebrated for intertwining craftsmanship with cultural storytelling. Founded by designer Azza Fahmy, the brand is recognised for its intricate silver and gold pieces inspired by Arabic poetry, Islamic architecture and Egyptian history. For London Craft Week 2026, the brand transformed its Burlington Arcade boutique into an immersive exhibition exploring the journey behind each piece, from sketchbooks and artisanal techniques to the finished object. More than presenting jewellery, the event reflected the brand\u2019s philosophy: preserving heritage while allowing it to evolve through modern craftsmanship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Ambre.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"357\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Ambre.jpg?resize=580%2C357&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Jewellery Process and Tools by Azza Fahmy.

It became a language of gesture, transformation and inhabited material. Between design, craftsmanship and experimentation, sculpture now exists as much within everyday life as within artistic spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-fdbfb3483ad77dc4116bfaa52ecba37c wp-block-paragraph\">With Campion and Daughters, sculpture became part of an approach where design turned into narrative. Presented as part of \u2018Albion Nord Hosts: The Britannic Explorer<em>\u2019<\/em>, the project explored how craft can interact with contemporary interiors and the world of travel. The objects and sculptural forms seemed to carry the memory of artisanal gesture, and making itself became almost narrative. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/larger-than-life-the-power-of-monumental-sculptures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sculpture <\/a><\/strong>is no longer limited to a final form, but has become a process, a construction that preserves the trace of handmade work and time.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Campion-and-Daughter.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Campion-and-Daughter.jpg?resize=580%2C375&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Campion and Daughters.

The forms appeared to emerge from nature rather than being imposed onto material. The work played with textures, rhythms and repetition, transforming natural motifs into contemporary sculptural objects. Here, sculpture became a translation of the living world, an interpretation rather than an imitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-43b875f533919d0cde156ccb7e501cd4 wp-block-paragraph\">With the event \u2018Future Icons Selects\u2019 on May 14 2026, sculpture took on a more experimental and contemporary dimension. The exhibition brought together artists and designers who explored the boundaries between furniture, object and installation. Among them were Lorna McCurdy, who restored and decorated books as sculptural objects, Clare Pentlow, a paper artist, Hannah Heys known for her handcrafted ceramics, and many more artists who explored texture and form, representing this new generation of makers.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/futur-icons-selects-.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"386\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/futur-icons-selects-.jpg?resize=580%2C386&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Futur Icons select \n\" class=\"wp-image-197766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/futur-icons-selects-.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/futur-icons-selects-.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/futur-icons-selects-.jpg?resize=768%2C511&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-05edc19792baa737ef7fc6532e2cda42 wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside these explorations of material and symbolism, Pitzhanger Manor &amp; Gallery presented \u2018Phoebe Collings-James: a rose, a bridge, a house\u2019, an exhibition where sculpture, installation and storytelling merged into an intimate reflection on memory, identity and belonging. Known for her multidisciplinary practice, Phoebe Collings-James explored the relationship between domestic space, emotional inheritance and the body through ceramic forms, sound and symbolic objects. Set within the historic interiors of Pitzhanger Manor, the exhibition created a dialogue between contemporary artistic expression and the layered history of the house itself. More than a presentation of sculptural works, the project transformed the space into an emotionally charged environment where craft became a language of ritual, connection and personal mythology.\u00a0<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Phoebe-Collings.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Phoebe-Collings.jpg?resize=580%2C375&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-197770\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Phoebe-Collings.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Phoebe-Collings.jpg?resize=300%2C194&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Phoebe-Collings.jpg?resize=768%2C497&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5529b228595427b75d586fac7c139bbd wp-block-paragraph\">Pitzhanger Manor &amp; Gallery &#8211; <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/londoncraftweek.com\/events\/phoebe-collings-james-a-rose-a-bridge-a-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Phoebe Collings-James: a rose, a bridge, a house<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-12a69a7fa1e6f24b375ef3813aa11de8 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Multidisciplinary<\/strong> <strong>Art<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-80360f10818cccd30e73e2423eab29cd wp-block-paragraph\">At London Craft Week, craft was no longer confined to a single discipline.

Thanks to their work, the exhibition immersed visitors in a silent yet colourful language. Here, craft became a prose capable of connecting different artistic identities across borders.<strong> <\/strong>While at Charles Burnand Gallery, craftsmanship entered the world of collectable design.

Known for supporting emerging and independent makers, Cockpit emphasised the importance of shared spaces where artisans can experiment, collaborate and develop their practices. In this context, craft became not only an object, but also a network of transmission, mentorship and creative dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1d3704fba0b3e02f37cd296d66953b4f wp-block-paragraph\">The exhibition &#8216;Seven Crafted Stories&#8217; brought together a multidisciplinary selection of artists and designers, including Davey Powell, Aimee Betts, Emma Louise Payne, Richard Goldsworthy, OTIZ and Jochen Holz. Spread across several floors, the exhibition explored how craft can function as storytelling. Through sculptural forms, raw materials and hybrid objects, each space proposed a different relationship between object, narrative and audience.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Design-sans-titre-27.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"848\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Design-sans-titre-27.jpg?resize=580%2C848&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Created by Davey Powell and photo taken by Natia Imerlichvili\" class=\"wp-image-197579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Design-sans-titre-27.jpg?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Design-sans-titre-27.jpg?resize=205%2C300&amp;ssl=1 205w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e7a578611d87358040daa386fdce8778 wp-block-paragraph\">The collaboration between Craft Scotland and Jorum Studio explored craftsmanship through the language of scent, glass and sensory experience. Presented at Jorum\u2019s Marylebone showroom, \u2018The Shape of Scent: Glass Reimagined with Juli Bola\u00f1os-Durman\u2019 brought together sculptural glass works by Costa Rican artist Juli Bola\u00f1os-Durman, inspired by Jorum\u2019s Progressive Botany Vol. I, perfume collection. Through hand-cut details, layered textures and reconfigured discarded glass, the installation transformed fragrance into something visual and tactile, exploring the relationship between memory, nature and material transformation. More than a showcase of objects, the project reflected a shared philosophy between perfumery and craftsmanship: preserving artisanal techniques while continuously pushing them towards new contemporary and sensory forms.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Jorum.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Jorum.jpg?resize=580%2C375&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-197773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Jorum.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Jorum.jpg?resize=300%2C194&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Jorum.jpg?resize=768%2C497&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6fb796ef155103f88dc4fc70aacae140 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/londoncraftweek.com\/events\/the-shape-of-scent-glass-reimagined-with-juli-bolanos-durman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jorum x Craft Scotland<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; The Shape of Scent: Glass Reimagined with Juli Bola\u00f1os-Durman<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a0d4b20d6a029e07a2de0d8aa0f5a9fa wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond its galleries and London-based makers, London Craft Week was not only presenting artists and their work, but was also a space for cultural dialogue. Through the international pavilion, traditional craftsmanship was reinterpreted from a more contemporary point of view. Four countries were highlighted in this year\u2019s programming, moving through Europe with Italy\u2019s emotional craftsmanship and Asia with Singapore, South Korea and Thailand\u2019s materials, transforming traditional practices into a more sensory and introspective experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d2c47e74990f3997016ac37468e5ff33 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Italy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-fe27b4f833017d6a1164f4f5bab51df3 wp-block-paragraph\">Presented during London Craft Week, \u2018Benfatto: Excellence in Craftsmanship between Art, Material and Time\u2019 showed Italian craftsmanship not simply as production, but as a living dialogue between material, gesture and cultural identity. Created by the Embassy of Italy in the United Kingdom alongside ICE Agenzia and CONFARTIGIANATO, the exhibition brought together contemporary Italian artisans whose works balanced tradition with innovation, sustainability and artistic experimentation. Through wood, stone, leather, metal and fabric, the exhibition became deeply sensory, filled with textures, sounds and traces of human touch, reflecting London Craft Week\u2019s wider celebration of craftsmanship as something emotional, immersive and profoundly connected to time itself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Italie-pavilion.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"348\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Italie-pavilion.jpg?resize=580%2C348&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-197584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Italie-pavilion.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Italie-pavilion.jpg?resize=300%2C180&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Italie-pavilion.jpg?resize=768%2C461&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-186f2312ed2eb63052ac3e4f07586598 wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/londoncraftweek.com\/events\/benfatto-excellence-in-craftsmanship-between-art-material-and-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Italian Trade Agency<\/strong><\/a> &#8211; Benfatto.

Blending heritage techniques with contemporary experimentation, the show demonstrated how traditional practices continue to adapt through new materials, forms and perspectives shaped by migration, trade and community. Throughout the week, guests were invited beyond the finished objects themselves through talks, demonstrations and workshops revealing the processes behind the making. Rather than presenting craft as something fixed in the past, the showcase portrayed Singaporean craftsmanship as dynamic, fluid and deeply connected to questions of identity, sustainability and cultural transformation today.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Singapoure.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"348\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Singapoure.jpg?resize=580%2C348&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Future Craft - NATIONAL HERITAGE BOARD SINGAPORE\n\" class=\"wp-image-197588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Singapoure.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Singapoure.jpg?resize=300%2C180&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Singapoure.jpg?resize=768%2C461&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-86dae05d2549f01dfa2f4c97ae5c1d85 wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/londoncraftweek.com\/events\/future-craft-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>National Heritage Board Singapore<\/strong><\/a> &#8211; Future Craft<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-56d4a3fa6cd68f12c2727df1040e52c5 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Korea<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-094cd282ee36e6e107b549f41f1a036c wp-block-paragraph\">At London Craft Week, South Korean craftsmanship was explored through \u2018Origin of Materials\u2019, an exhibition presented by Soluna Art Group and its craft label Soluna Fine Craft. Bringing together artists working with glass, metal, ceramics and horsehair, the exhibition reflected a contemporary vision of Korean craft where materiality was shaped as much by thought, time and sensibility as by the materials themselves. The showcase explored how personal environments, cultural memory and artistic gestures transformed clay, glass or metal into something emotionally resonant. Alongside collaborations with fashion and design, the exhibition reinforced one of London Craft Week\u2019s central ideas: craftsmanship is never static, but continuously evolving through experimentation, identity and contemporary culture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Korea.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"348\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Korea.jpg?resize=580%2C348&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Soluna Fine Craft - Collectible Korean Fine Craft Exhibition: Origin of Materials \" class=\"wp-image-197592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Korea.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Korea.jpg?resize=300%2C180&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Korea.jpg?resize=768%2C461&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-536493c25bf47ffb3c371d9513d85fd8 wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/londoncraftweek.com\/events\/collectible-fine-craft-exhibition-origin-of-materials\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Soluna Fine Craft<\/strong><\/a> &#8211; Collectable Korean Fine Craft Exhibition: Origin of Materials<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c591e32a5672acdc141b26b4ad2ab854 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thailand&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a27488efd17dd0d8f5f3d7924f4cbc97 wp-block-paragraph\">Thailand was the final stop in the international pavilion, and \u2018Woven Shade\u2019 used weaving, light and material memory to explore Thai folk craftsmanship. Inspired by the artisanal traditions of Lamphun in Northern Thailand, the showcase transformed woven techniques traditionally used to create agricultural hats into contemporary sculptural forms. Created by textile and cultural design specialist Namfon Laistrooglai and her team, the project turned natural fibres into layered surfaces that filter light and cast moving shadows, creating a delicate and immersive atmosphere. Moving between Thai and British cultural references, the exhibition considered craft as a universal language shaped through gesture, rhythm and human connection, where each woven fibre became a quiet symbol of dialogue, identity and shared tradition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Thailande.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"348\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Thailande.jpg?resize=580%2C348&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-197594\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Thailande.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Thailande.jpg?resize=300%2C180&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Thailande.jpg?resize=768%2C461&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c3edf8f391dfe9a836aa7f8a4f677783 wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/londoncraftweek.com\/events\/woven-shade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>National Research Council of Thailand<\/strong><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/londoncraftweek.com\/events\/woven-shade\/\"> <\/a>&#8211; Woven Shade<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-bc2ccb321c9a585f2ac79cfea84dd3dc wp-block-paragraph\">As the week came to a close, London Craft Week revealed itself as more than just a programme of exhibitions, but as a reflection on what it means to make and to look, in a world shaped by speed, mass production and digital distance. Across ceramics, jewellery, sculpture and multidisciplinary practices, a shared thread emerged: the persistence of the human gesture, enriched by perspectives from London to Italy, Singapore, Korea and Thailand. Rather than preserving tradition as something fixed, the week positioned it as something in motion, shaped through contemporary practice and international exchange. Ultimately, it suggested that craft is not only about objects, but about attention itself, the act of slowing down and recognising the presence of the hand behind what we see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8b926c58ccd428a7aba7bc1b88ea21df wp-block-paragraph\">Here was an overview of London Craft Week, to learn more you can visit their website: &#8216;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/londoncraftweek.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">London Craft Week 2026<\/a><\/strong>&#8216;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-25a6892ca25e1beb0077ce7f606cdc77 wp-block-paragraph\">If you enjoyed reading the article &#8216;London Craft Week 2026: Made With Love and Time&#8217;, then why not read &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/the-fantastic-value-of-what-takes-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The Fantastic Value of What Takes Time<\/em><\/a>&#8216;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d86820443b0dbae30f4c87d0f2d52bf2 wp-block-paragraph\">.Cent Magazine, London.&nbsp;<strong><em>Luxury Mindset<\/em> <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When was the last time you truly noticed the touch of the hand behind an object?
