11 unmissable events across London Craft Week 2025

Now in its third year, this London Craft Week must-see is moving to 83 Rivington Street in Shoreditch. There you will find the work of more than 50 talented artisans – some of whom have never been showcased in the UK before. Keep a look out for endangered crafts like lapidary (the art of cutting, shaping and polishing stones), as well as the work of our top picks: Selfish Customs, whose eco-resin seat is pictured, and Catalin Filip, the mastermind behind the sculptural ceramic lights and stools shown above. futureicons.co.uk

The studio led by designer and sculptor duo Emma and Tobias Peascod will be presenting new limited-edition mirrors at the South Kensington institution. Produced in their Somerset workshop, the pieces are a contemporary take on British Rococo style, with the hand-sculpted jesmonite frames drawing inspiration from the delicate and untamed beauty of nature – feathers, thorns, and leaves. peascod.studio

The luxury Italian furniture brand has collaborated with Selma Feriani Gallery to present this exhibition at its London showroom (245–246 Brompton Road). There are many parallels between Swinburn’s work – creating sculptural paper compositions by weaving together scraps of vintage documents – and Molteni & C’s own dedication to craft excellence. molteni.it

Marbing maestro Natascha Maksimovic (aka Nat Maks) has collaborated with Brogan Cox, co-founder of Sebastian Cox, on a new collection of wooden tables that will be shown for the first time in a dedicated space at No.9 Cork Street. The designs are made from sycamore which, says Cox, ‘is considered a weed in some forestry circles, but is wonderfully tactile, pale and accepting of colour – perfect for this marbling process. It’s like giving a forgotten material a second life.’ sebastiancox.co.uk

Forget for a moment the lure of expensive candles – there is a new breed of design object that is looking to change how we scent our homes. The ‘Censer’ by EJM Studio is one of those pieces (read our June issue, on sale 15 May for more on the trend). See the incense burner for the first time at Studio Casso (Stephen House, 1B Darnley Road) where it will be distributing a bespoke scent by FKAH (Formerly Known as Haeckels). edwardjohnmilton.com

Test your knowledge of ceramicists with this sale, held at Christie’s and organised by London Craft Week and charity FiredUp4, co-founded by Kate Malone MBE. 100 ceramic works by leading and emerging artists will be available to buy, with proceeds going to fund access to pottery for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. The only catch? You won’t know who the piece is by until you part with your cash. londoncraftweek.com

Head to the wallpaper expert’s flagship store in the heart of Chelsea to see blocks from the archive on display and witness a Cole & Son artist hand painting some of its famous patterns. Allowing people to see the artistry behind the designs, this event is a continuation of founder John Perry’s belief that craft should be at the core of the brand. cole-and-son.com

Tintin Macdonald and Francesca Wilson, founders of online store and art consultancy Felt, share a passion for bringing contemporary craft into homes. This curated edit, which will be displayed within Gunmakers Lane’s retro furniture Mecca The Peanut Vendor, focuses on textiles, bringing together the cutting edge stars in the fields of embroidery, quilting, natural dyeing, patchwork and knitting. felt-collections.com

Featuring a curated selection of textile, ceramic, metal, glass and wood works by Cavaliero Finn’s artists, this exhibition asks the individual artisans to create displays that bring their own interpretation to their work. Held at Stockwell Studio, a quiet gem tucked away in Lorn Court, the exhibition includes work by Kate Trelawny (pictured), who is not just a ceramicist, but also a celebrated chef who runs her kitchen out of the venue. cavalierofinn.com

For one evening only (15 May, from 6pm), one of our favourite British furniture manufacturers is inviting people into its Clapham Park Road workshop to witness first-hand how perhaps its most iconic design (pictured) is made. There will be a chance to get involved with the processes, – from hand-lashing seat springs to tailoring the upholstery – while sipping cocktails. Booking for this event is essential (email: info@sedilia.com). sedilia.com
