Living in a Material World


  • Lyon & Turnbull 22 Connaught St England, W2 2AF United Kingdom (map)

Part of the London Design Festival

The Crafts Study Centre is collaborating with London auction house Lyon & Turnbull, on a new exhibition Living in a Material World, which shines a spotlight on contemporary craft and examines the changing nature and evolution of craft in Britain over the last 50 years. 

Makers have been chosen for their understanding of materials and a mastery of their chosen discipline. The exhibition highlights work by leading craftspeople who are both internationally regarded such as Hans Coper and Peter Collingwood, and highly influential figures that are less familiar outside craft circles, such as Mary Farmer and Richard Kell. The exhibition includes five works on loan from the Crafts Study Centre.

Join us from Monday 16 - Friday 27 September, 10:00 - 16:00 at our Connaught Street Gallery. No appointment is necessary.
