Collect 2023 Overview

Read now

Collect showcases exceptional work made in the last five years by living artists and designers allowing each gallery to curate their own display and commission new pieces or bodies of work, especially for the fair.

Works span many craft disciplines including ceramics, glass, lacquer, art jewellery, precious metalwork, textiles and fibre, wood and paper to works using non-traditional materials including resin and bone.

The fair’s aim is to introduce and cultivate purchasing audiences to develop and grow the financial and intellectual value of craft at this level. Organised by the Crafts Council, Collect is well-regarded for its credibility, sector authority and leadership with a warm-hearted openness and shared experience that the Crafts Council prides itself in delivering.

The fair provides art consultants, interiors specialists, collectors, museum curators, design practitioners and wider enthusiasts with an unrivalled opportunity to discover and invest in contemporary craft that will surprise, delight and endure.

Collect Open

An important feature of the fair is Collect Open; our annual showcase of ambitious, conceptual, craft-led installations by individual artists and collectives.

Whether challenging perceptions on materiality, a social or political statement, or something altogether more personal; Collect Open has established itself as a valuable thought-provoking element of Collect.
