Beyond Craft: A Two-Week Showcase
About The Event
Beyond Craft returns with a refreshed format — one full week of exhibition followed by a second week of
pop-up trading. The aim is to welcome a broader mix of artists and designers while keeping the experience relaxed, enjoyable, and accessible. This edition brings together work across art, jewellery, design, textiles, ceramics, and object-making. Whether you are an emerging creative or an established practitioner, this is an opportunity to present your work in one of London’s most iconic riverside galleries.
This is a rare opportunity to meet the creatives behind the work, discover one-of-a-kind pieces,
and shop direct from the source. Whether you’re a collector, a design lover, or simply curious,
this is a celebration of creativity in all its forms.
What To Expect ?
Week 1: Exhibition
Selected artists will have their work displayed throughout the gallery. Perfect for those wishing to show larger bodies of work, installations, or pieces that benefit from quieter viewing.
Week 2: Pop-up
A more flexible, energetic week where makers can sell directly, connect with visitors, and be part of a lively marketplace atmosphere.
