@houseandgardenuk . Ahead of the inaugural House & Garden Craft Prize, we step inside the south London studio of this year’s trophy maker, Bridget Bailey (@bridgetbailey.textile.milliner ). First discovered by House & Garden at Collect Art Fair (@collectartfair ) through London gallery Jaggedart (@jaggedartlondon ), Bridget’s work stood out for its deeply considered approach to material, process and the natural world. Originally trained as a milliner, her practice today explores the subtle parallels between making and the way nature itself evolves, drawing inspiration from overlooked materials and the quiet poetry of the garden. As we watch the trophy take shape by hand, it reveals the layers of skill and dedication embedded within contemporary craft practice. In many ways, Bridget’s work reflects the spirit of the prize itself - honouring makers whose practices preserve, challenge and reimagine the future of craft. For Bridget, craft is not simply about technique, but about developing a language through materials over time: a process of continual refinement shaped by instinct. The House & Garden Craft Prize is proudly supported by Mulberry (@mulberryengland ) with strategic partners Sotheby’s (@sothebys ) and Crafts Council (@craftscouncil ).

@ceramicartlondon ・・・ We’re pleased to announce @danthepot , Stand 100 as the winner of The Emmanuel Cooper Prize 2026 🏆 Awarded by the Craft Pottery Charitable Trust and Pallant House Gallery, this major acquisition prize, now in its 11th year, recognises a maker whose work makes a significant contribution to contemporary ceramics. In 2026, the winning work will enter the collection of Pallant House Gallery, Chichester. Selected by Chief Curator Melanie Vandenbrouck and Head of Collections Sarah Norris. Dan Kelly’s wheel-thrown pieces are deeply influenced by the urban environment, a longstanding source of inspiration. The figure also plays a central role in his practice—not only in how forms are described, but in how they relate to one another, like members of the same family. His work also draws on traditional and historical ceramics from Europe and the Far East. Doors are now open. Friday morning tickets are sold out—remaining sessions are filling fast. Tickets are available online or at the door, with advance booking recommended. 🕙 Opening Hours: Friday 8 May: 10am–6pm Saturday 9 May: 10am–6pm Sunday 10 May: 10am–5pm 📍 Olympia West Hall 12 Blythe Road London W14 8UX See you at the show! #CAL2026 #contemporaryceramics #londonart #ceramicartlondon ceramics *Featured pot for illustration purposes

#Repost @bridgetbailey.textile.milliner ・・・ I’m working on ‘Lawn Safari’, an installation of invertebrates for ‘Grubs Up!’ exhibition at @inspiredby.gallery in @northyorkmoors starting May the 16th. The creatures will all have plant-based elements in their construction - this beetle body is wrapped with Queen Anne’s Lace - a favourite with insects because of all the tiny flowers… This exhibition challenges the convention of the neatly mown lawn. Questioning how we perceive beauty in nature, this display celebrates the long, lustrous grass verges and unmown meadows you are seeing more of in and around the National Park. Discover work by artists who are shining a light on these often-underestimated green spaces and find out why people are joining the National Park’s Grubs Up! movement to support pollinators and biodiversity. #inspiredbygalllery #insectart #northyorkmoors #grubsup

@simonhillsmural ・・・ Me finishing one of more recent pieces on a rare dry day in January, it’s a piece commissioned by @thehydegroup right in the middle of Stockwell along the entrance to Yates Ct. Was a pleasure to paint and design and had some fantastic interactions with local people during the time I was there, everyone was really kind a supportive, and a massive thanks to all those individuals who took the time to chat about the project and occasionally would give me drinks and snacks xx The design incorporates the Stockwell memorial tower but I’ve reimagined the Stockwell around it as a bucolic landscape, leaving it to the viewer to imagine how that came to be, I had a few nice theories from people I chatted to, my favourite being that the tower was here before everything else and that Stockwell built up around it. It’s painted on the side of the amazing @wildstylegraffcafe and had a great time chatting to the painters who came and went #londonmurals #wallart #natureart #lambeth stockwellstreetart
