LONDON CRAFT WEEK

May and October every year

"London Craft Week is a response to a renaissance in the appreciation of creativity and craft; to the role of hand, head, unique skills and true talent. It is another example of what, at its best, the world’s creative capital does so well – mixing glamour with cutting edge; heritage and contemporary and the commercial with the cultural." Guy Salter, OBE MVO, Chairman of London Craft Week.”
