29th August - 20th September
Our Summer Exhibition is now open at the beautiful Ickworth Estate, bringing together an outstanding selection of contemporary craft in the WestWing Gallery.
This year's National Trust theme, Collections, has provided an exciting source of inspiration for some of our makers. A selection of contemporary pieces inspired by the Hervey family Collection can be found in the main house, displayed alongside the collection that inspired the work, creating a fascinating connection between Ickworth's heritage and contemporary craft.
We’re also thrilled to feature work from Crossing Crafts, an exciting collaborative project between Suffolk Craft Society and the Society of Designer Craftsmen. Bringing together makers from different craft disciplines, the project encourages the sharing of skills, ideas and creative approaches. The result is a vibrant collection of fresh perspectives and truly unique pieces.
We hope you’ll join us at Ickworth for our Summer Exhibition and discover the exceptional work of our talented makers.
