Collect 2009

Posted in Craft Thoughts by Kate Jones on May 17, 2009

Stephen and I visited the show on Friday. Beautiful space, good lighting and a good selection of work.

Some excellent glass on show with Vessel and the Australian galleries.

The Saatchi gallery is a wonderful space and I hope the Crafts Council continue Collect in this venue. Collect is an important event for artist makers and we look forward to the future.

It was a pleasure to have the space to enjoy viewing the full range of work in ehibition. The feeling in the halls was the event was attracting a new audience to see the work and that just has to be good for all of us.

    I agree the new location was great and a wondersul surprise. It was well iit not overcrowded, even on first night, and yet it was always buzzing. I too hope the Craft Council continues Collect in the Saatchi Gallery.

    Bullseye also had some good pieces – I bought one!!
