About

Artefact, the contemporary craft fair, brings the joy of the handmade to an audience of designers, architects, collectors and enthusiasts. Recognising the thriving relationship between craft and interior design, Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour brings together talented makers to demonstrate their skills.

Daily demonstrations feature British makers from QEST (the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust). The charity supports the training and education of talented and aspiring craftspeople through scholarship and apprenticeship funding, sustaining vital skills in traditional and contemporary crafts and supporting Britain’s cultural heritage.

Transforming an idea into reality takes skill, imagination and vision; from revitalising heritage techniques and cutting-edge innovation to seeing the potential of materials and artisan processes. Meet the Makers is an opportunity to watch the artisans in action and gain a greater understanding of how one-of-a-kind designs are made. Meet them in person and see their incredible work up close.
