Artefact

Artefact, a new contemporary craft fair, is launching this summer at Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour, featuring an impressive rollcall of contemporary craft and visual arts galleries from the vibrant British craft scene. They include Cavaliero Finn, Candida Stevens Gallery, Jaggedart, Katie Jones, madeinbritaly, Ting-Ying Gallery and Vessel Gallery, with more to be announced.

Artefact is both a marketplace and a celebration of contemporary craft, encouraging visitors to experience the tactility and joy that handmade objects can bring to their lives.

Contemporary craft is increasingly making its mark in the world of interior design, and this curated fair will present a range of objects of astonishing breadth, scope and artistic merit. Museum-quality pieces on show will come from all over the world, and will include works in unusual materials like paper and blanc de chine, as well as representations of stalwart craft disciplines like metalwork, glass, sculpture, textiles and ceramics.

The fair will also include an experiential feature in collaboration with QEST, where a number of QEST Scholars will be showcasing their craft skills.
