Our flagship event for Wales Week London 2025 will be a very special showcase at Collect 2025 - the leading international art fair for contemporary craft and design, presented by Crafts Council.
After a rigorous application process we are thrilled to be showcasing alongside other national and international galleries and organisations for what will be our first major London showcase.
A curation in Black and Gold: A collection to showcase a world class story of Wales.
Our showcase will encapsulate the essence of First Of March - the heritage, the connection and inspiration of our landscape, language and culture encapsulated in the international language of craft.
Set off by a beautiful design from fellow Wales Week London partner - Pensaer: London - we are excited to bring our Welsh dynamic to this prestigious event for the very first time.
If you love arts and crafts, if you love design, we would be delighted to welcome you from February 28th to Room W6 at Somerset House - tickets will be available through our website in the New Year.
