“COLLECT- The international art fair for contemporary objects. Presented by the British Crafts Council…41 galleries will present work by over 350 leading artists covering ceramics, glass, jewellery, silver and fine metalwork, textiles, wood and furniture…”
Each year, Collect – held at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and presented by the Crafts Council – causes a huge stir amongst the Art and Craft community and is praised as one of the best Craft events in the calendar year…it is running from the 8th – 12th of February {2007} and will be well worth attending if you are in the capital this month.
Events such as this are always great as the age old question of ‘What is Craft?’ gets a renewed airing in the public arena…this was a topic that sparked lots of interest the last time I posted about it and I was also very interested to read the take on the subject by so many leading industry proffessionals as well, detailed here …
