Collect, organised by the Crafts Council, is an opportunity for collectors and craft enthusiasts to discover outstanding work from international artists. Visitors can browse and buy artworks from 40 specialist galleries, representing over 400 pioneering artist-makers from across the globe. Collect showcases exceptional work made in the last five years by living artists and designers. Each gallery curates their own display and commissions new pieces or bodies of work, especially for the fair. Craft disciplines span ceramics, glass, lacquer, art jewellery, precious metalwork, textiles and fibre, wood, paper and non-traditional materials such as resin and bone. The fair provides art consultants, interior specialists, collectors, museum curators, design practitioners and the viewing public with an opportunity to discover and invest in contemporary craft.
