About

Craftworks is a three-day, free to attend exhibition, celebrating the very best of arts, craft and design.

Held in London’s iconic Shoreditch Town Hall from Wednesday 15 to Friday 17 May, Craftworks honours the past, celebrates the present and secures the future of craft by showcasing extraordinary makers, plus workshops and talks on what craftsmanship really means today.

If you’re a collector, an interior designer, an architect, a hospitality buyer or someone who appreciates and purchases beautiful pieces of craft, this show, brought to you by award-winning studio and workshop Cox London, is the perfect opportunity to discover one-of-a-kind pieces and wonderful collections.

Craftworks plays host to over 100 incredible makers, spanning textiles, furniture, ceramics, jewellery, metalwork and glass art, and many more timeless mediums — including a spotlight on the red list of endangered crafts. The country’s premier craft organisations and charities are exhibiting at the event, including QEST (Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust), Heritage Crafts Association and Design Nation.

Visit and explore vibrant contemporary makers and traditional craft, hear from the masters of the industry in panel sessions, and see inspiring workshops and demonstrations with some of the world’s most talented craftspeople.
