This exhibition showcases more than 20 SDC members original and inspiring work including textiles, ceramics, sculpture, glass, furniture and boxes, silver and jewellery.
Established in 1887, with William Morris as one of its early presidents, the Society of Designer Craftsmen continues to promote and support the work of creative thinkers, designers, and makers who innovate through the exploration of materials and skills in their own field. All works are for sale and commissions can be undertaken, meaning the exhibition offers an ideal opportunity to acquire original pieces handmade by some of the UK’s finest craftspeople working today.
The Showcase is in two parts: In Gallery 1, ‘Ultimate Designer Craft’ will demonstrate the design and craftmanship of SDC members at its absolute best. It will contain a curated display of works across a range of crafts which exemplify excellence and creativity.
In Gallery 2, ‘Designer Craft at Christmas’ will contain a wide range of works of unique handmade pieces, from both well-established as well as up-and-coming SDC members, which are for sale and immediate take-away. There will also be an area about the SDC, its past, present and aims for the future, as well as how to join us.
