Desiderata at Collect craft fair

So many beautiful objects...! Collect is held in the Saatchi Gallery, in big white rooms, and most of the stands are sizeable (at £300 a square metre...). Here are a few of the many things that caught my eye -

Wood vessels by Ernst Gamperl

A rough but shimmering finish

Boxes included in the purchase price of Japanese crafts

Deeply-dyed indigo sculptures - but no labels

Peppers captured in Colin Reid's glass

New work by Hiroshi Suzuki

Detail of patterning

Subtle lettering on "96 Deep Bowls" by Rupert Spira

Hand raised Britannia silver vases by Ndidi Ekubia

"Bad Mother" by Freddie Robins

Pippin Drysdale's grouped ceramics (think "Australian desert")

Wonderful modern jewellery - in the foreground, work by Iris Bodemer
(for instance, this steel & string neckpiece)

Books carved from swirl-grained madrone burl by Michael Peterson

Other names from my notebook are Gesine Hackenburg (jewellery), Hanne Friis (textile), Katie Bunnell (ceramics), Agneta Spangberg (extrovert ceramics), Jean-Claude Legrand (ceramics), Chantal Delporte (glass), Ainsley Hillard (tapestry),  Mihara Ken (ceramics),  Millie Behrens (jewellery), Claire Malet,  Pamela Wilson (textiles and jewellery - the piece on show incorporated fishing line, sausage casing and red plastic tubes, wonderful).
