The fair presents a cohort of leading galleries from across the globe, altogether representing over 400 outstanding artists. Most of the work has been made in the last five years, with many artists creating new work for the fair. Ceramics, glass, lacquer, art jewellery, precious metalwork, textiles and fibre, wood and paper are all displayed side-by-side to create a unique opportunity for collectors and craft enthusiasts alike.


Alongside international galleries, Collect Open, the fair’s platform for pioneering craft installations by individual artists and collectives, returns with 14 exciting projects by artists hailing from the USA, Poland, and from all over the UK, including Northern Ireland. A talks programme featuring experts in art, craft and design will take place at the fair and will also be available to stream online.



 


For those of us who love textiles, fabric has the power to trigger a memory. The smallest pieces of used clothing can transport you back to a special time or event in your life or even conjure up the presence of a loved one no longer with us. For others, they cannot bear to waste even the smallest scraps of beautiful material, threads and embellishments, so they squirrel them away for that special project.

Join Niki to discover the story that inspired this slow-stitch fabric collage workshop using small found scraps of vintage silk and linen. Feel free to bring along your own stash of treasured fabrics and textile connections to include in the creation of your personalized textile narrative painting.


Using just the most basic of running stitches, this workshop is suitable for all levels of experience. All other materials, threads and art canvas will be provided. Niki is a qualified art tutor teaching adult classes locally in creative drawing, printmaking and patchwork & quilting. Niki exhibits both her textile prints and art quilts regularly as a member of the international group, Prism Textiles and regionally with Anglia Textile Works. The workshop will last approximately five hours. Tea, coffee, biscuits and cake are provided. Please bring a packed lunch. Numbers for the workshop are limited to 10, so book early to avoid disappointment. All money raised from their workshops goes towards maintaining David Parr House.

Explore a period of great upheaval when artists broke with established tradition and laid the foundations for the art of the 20th and the 21st centuries. The decades between 1880 and the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 were a complex, vibrant period of artistic questioning, searching, risk-taking and innovation. The exhibition celebrates the achievements of three giants of the era: Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin and follows the influences they had on younger generations of French artists, on their peers and on wider circles of artists across Europe in Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels and Vienna.


With over a hundred works by artists ranging from Klimt and Kokoschka, Matisse and Picasso to Mondrian and Kandinsky complemented by a selection of sculpture by artists including Rodin and Camille Claudel, the exhibition follows the creation of a new, modern art, free of convention, taking in Expressionism, Cubism and Abstraction.



 


The exhibition of contemporary South African artist-potter Hylton Nel (b.1941) looks back on 60 years of practice through the lens of the artist’s iconic plates. Bringing together over 200 examples, including a selection of brand new, never-before-seen works created in response to Charleston, ‘This plate is what I have to say‘ is a ceramic explosion of joy, wit and storytelling. For Nel, who first began experimenting with ceramics in the 1960s, his plates are a vessel for sharing stories and life experiences — no concept too large, no reference too small. His painterly, idiosyncratic and often humorous illustrations cover everything from global politics and religion to beloved pets, a favourite film or trip to the zoo!


 



Tristan Hoare is delighted to announce a dialogue exhibition showing ceramics and tapestries by London-based artists Christabel MacGreevy, and Rafaela de Ascanio, first presented at the gallery in September 2021 as part of their ceramics group show 'Cracked'.


Sexing the Cherry takes its point of departure from Jeanette Winterson’s 1989 postmodernist novel of the same name, which considers women's roles, prominence, or lack of prominence in society within historical fiction. The novel focuses on the Twelve Dancing Princesses from the Brothers Grimm fairy-tale after their reluctant marriages and recounts their murderous revenge on their husbands, up-ending the original fable’s happy-ever-after. MacGreevy and de Ascanio’s joint show provides a chorus of voices responding to the novel's questions, interweaving figures from ancient to pop cultures, literature, music and film into a multi-disciplinary body of work.
