A new-launch exhibition hoping to tap into the popularity of TV programmes such as The Repair Shop has secured headline sponsorship from a renowned London design studio.
Jay Blades presents Craftworks at Shoreditch Town Hall in London from 15-17 May, will welcome collectors, interior designers, architects, retailers, hospitality buyers and enthusiasts to discover, buy and commission original craft across disciplines and materials.
Cox London, known for its lighting, furniture, and artwork, will sponsor the three-day show. Founders, Nicola and Chris Cox (pictured) will join a series of panel discussions and their studio’s craftsmanship will be on display at the show with a dedicated space showcasing their artworks.
Nicole Chrysostomou, event director, said: “We are pleased to announce that Cox London will be joining us as our headline sponsor for the inaugural Jay Blades presents Craftworks at Shoreditch Town Hall. Cox London’s expertise in artisan craftsmanship aligns perfectly with the values of our exhibition. It is a real success story of how honing your skill as a maker can grow into a global business. Together, we aim to showcase the excellence of British craft and design.”
So far, over 60 exhibitors are set to attend Craftworks. The event has attracted endorsement from UK craft organisations and charities, some of which will be exhibiting at the event, including QEST, an art and craft educational trust created to sustain traditional British craftmanship; Heritage Crafts, the national charity for traditional heritage crafts which works in partnership with the Government; and Design Nation, a leading membership portfolio for contemporary craft and design in the UK.
