Handmade at Kew

This autumn, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew will be the location for an innovative new international craft fair, organised by Handmade in Britain. Gardening and craft have always had a special relationship – both are artistic pursuits, requiring patience, skill and artistry and both result in pleasing compositions. All these qualities will be much in evidence at Handmade at Kew.

The Event Housed in an elegant pavilion next to Kew Palace, your ticket will not only give you access to the show but also to the whole of Kew Gardens. Here you can enjoy the delights of the world’s most famous botanic garden with its fine glasshouses and rare blooms, while browsing, buying or commissioning work directly from artists and makers.

It’s a fabulous day out for the whole family and a rare opportunity to indulge in both horticulture and shopping. The crafts are experiencing an unprecedented rise in popularity and this selling exhibition clearly illustrates why. Work by an international group of 150+ makers, designers, individuals and galleries, will embrace a range of disciplines including ceramics, glass, furniture, textiles, metalwork, and jewellery. The event will also provide an opportunity to meet artists and craftspeople and learn about the ideas and processes that shape their work.
