A soupcon of some of the wonderful pieces of craft on offer during London Craft Week 2025
Dahye Seong.
Winner of 2022 Loewe Craft Prize, Dahye fashions awe-inspiring vessels and artworks from horsehair using traditional Korean textile techniques. The first time I saw her work my jaw dropped to the floor over the extraordinary level and quality of craftsmanship on display.
Woosun Cheon.
At first glance, I thought Cheon's vessels were cane, but on closer inspection found they were metal. His work has a delicacy that belies his materials.
Kenta Anzai.
Kenta Anzai and Akiko Hirah.
Beautiful quiet monochrome ceramics showing a variety of techniques, some perfectly symmetrical, others raw and organic.

Lamarta Benedict.
Lamarta Benedict.
Lamarta's violently engaging ceramics reminding me of Tippoo's Tiger, the 18th century automation in the Victoria and Museum, depicting a man being ravaged by a tiger. As a child I was simultaneously horrified and drawn to this beast, but I loved the life [and death] in Benedict's ceramics.
Catarina Riccabona.
I've been a long-time admirer of Catarina's hand-woven textiles. Even if a piece is just off the loom, she manages to create a woven textile that has an heirloom quality about it, like something you've known all your life.

Loved these modular candleholders made from rich burl. Some many possibilities.
Salvino Marina.
Salvino Marina.
Marina [1938-2020] was an Italian metalworker and artist. Beton Brut has acquired many of his works, and exhibited a number of never-before-seen pieces, which included the one of the most beautiful mirrors I've seen, in the whole of my life.
