London Craft Week celebrated its 10th anniversary from May 13-19.
This annual event showcased the best craftsmanship from around the world and is held in venues such as art galleries, studios, shops, and museums.
Some artists find it therapeutic to work with clay and create crafts without relying on technology.
Instead, they use oil, clay, and colours to help them live in the present.
Naomi Davenport, Managing Director of London Craft Week, introduced the “Secret Ceramic” project, which maintains anonymity when selling art pieces.
In keeping artists’ names confidential until a purchase is made, this allows buyers to focus on the art itself.
The exhibition is charitable and wants to launch an art studio in London for young talents from financially disadvantaged backgrounds.
Guy Salter, chairman of London Craft Week said: “It seems like yesterday that the King and Queen launched the first London Craft Week in 2015.
“Now, in our tenth year, we host over 225,000 visitors, 520 events and 700 artists and makers.”
