Goldsmiths’ Fair at Collect 2024 ©Paul Read
Goldsmiths’ Fair has been selected to show at Collect 2025 alongside artist-makers and galleries from around the world.
Presented by Crafts Council, Collect is the leading international art fair for contemporary craft and design. In the impressive setting of Somerset House, London, galleries and makers from around the world come together to showcase the best craft being made today, spanning disciplines including ceramics, glass, lacquer, textiles, paper, jewellery and metalwork.
At Collect 2025, Goldsmiths’ Fair will be showcasing a curated selection of works from five artists working at the forefront of British metalwork:
Jewellers Alison Evans, Sarah Pulvertaft and Misun Won and metalsmiths Ndidi Ekubia MBE and Shinta Nakajima are united through the emphasis they place on the repetition inherent in all their practices and creations.
Evans, Pulvertaft and Won each repeatedly create precious-metal motifs – handmade chain, cubes and folded ovals, respectively – that they intertwine and layer to create their distinctive jewellery.
For Ekubia and Nakajima, every vessel and sculpture is formed from thousands of precise hammer blows and careful reassessments of shape.
In their recurring actions, all five artists share a commitment to the finessing of hand skills – a repetition that verges on meditation.
Visit us at Stand E11, East Wing, Somerset House, London from 28 February to 2 March (Previews 26 & 27 February).
