Peckham Craft Show: An Annual Celebration of Modern Craft
Celebrating over 50 makers, including wood-block printer Louisa Loakes and ceramicists Hannah Bould and Lily Pearmain, the Peckham Craft Show offered a wide range of workshops, such as natural dying and eco printing with botanicals. Organised by London-based makers Chloe Phelps and Rachael Pilston, this show surely wasn’t one to miss!
Art on the Couch: The Creative Process of the Artist
Exploring the connection between psychoanalysis and crafting, artists Christie Brown and Barnaby Barford talked about the creative processes behind their work - right inside Freud’s former home!
UK-Japan Craft (Kōgei) Picnic at Chelsea Physic Garden
As beautiful as it sounds, the craft picnic at Chelsea Physic Garden organised by Japanese craftspeople brought people together, using their favourite handmade cups and dishes to enjoy the fresh aromas of the Japanese cuisine. Definitely one of the more expensive picks of the week, but totally worth it.
