Spring Craft Collection 2026

Discover the Spring Craft Collection at New Ashgate Gallery, a curated exhibition of contemporary craft by over 50 artists and makers working across ceramics, jewellery, textiles and glass.

The collection celebrates skilled making, thoughtful design and work that sits well in everyday life. This seasonal display brings together established names and emerging talent, with each piece selected for its quality, material intelligence and lasting appeal.

Whether you are looking to buy contemporary craft for your home or searching for a distinctive handmade gift, the Spring Craft Collection offers work to live with and return to. The ceramics selection includes functional and decorative work by Jill Fanshawe Kato, Sarah Hillman, Justine Jenner, Jessica Mason, Linda Pitcher and Kate Schuricht.

From tableware to sculptural forms, these pieces show a strong relationship between material, process and use. Our contemporary spring jewellery features wearable work by Rachel Butlin, Shimara Carlow, Beca Fflur, Shirani Fernando, Shirley Nelson and Guy Royle.

The collection ranges from subtle everyday pieces to more expressive designs, with a focus on skilled making and considered materials. Textile artists in the Spring Craft Collection include Bonita Ahuja, Jaine Mahon, Linda Miller and Tessuti Scotland. The work spans interior and wearable textiles, combining colour, pattern and structure with a strong sense of touch and use. Glass work for spring includes pieces by Scott Benefield, Ruth Dresman, Candice Wu, Liz Huppert, Peter Layton, Emmy Palmer, Helen Slater, Jo Vincent, Frans Wesselman and Liz Welch. The selection includes both functional glass and decorative forms, chosen for clarity, weight and finish.

All works in the Spring Craft Collection are available to buy through the gallery. Purchasing from New Ashgate Gallery supports independent artists and makers while investing in high-quality contemporary craft made in the UK.
