Collect Art Fair

Somerset House, Strand, WC2R 1LA
1 – 3 March 2024

Collect, the annual fair for contemporary craft and design, celebrates its 20th edition this week with a bumper crop of 40 international galleries representing more than 400 artists at Somerset House. It’s a textural feast, featuring museum-quality pieces handmade in ceramics, glass, lacquer, textiles, wood, metal, paper, resin, corn-starch and more.

Each object – from vessels and furniture to wall hangings and art jewellery – has a story to tell. Among our highlights are textile works by Juan Arango Palacios and and Talia Ramkilawan, exploring queerness and memories; collaborative ceramic vessels by father and daughter duo Chris and Freya Bramble-Carter, in which faces emerge from ocean-like glazes; and glass shipwrecks by James Devereux
