Origin - The Contemporary Craft Fair

Last Tuesday I had a day off work and visited Origin: The Contemporary Craft Fair at Spitalfields Market. It’s taken me a week to write a blog about it mainly because I just couldn’t choose who to blog about! There were some amazing crafters. Lots of jewellers and potters but also furniture makers and milliners.

So to my favourites; Angela Cork’s silver and metal tableware was incredibly beautiful. Way out of my price range but seriously stunning.
Pauline Edie’s porcelain and silver jewellery also really caught my eye. I was very tempted to buy a necklace from her – perhaps for Christmas!

There was a lot of beautiful pottery -one of my favourites was James and Tilla Waters. The greys and oranges seemed really contemporary.

Another jeweller I loved was Sarah Warsop whose jewellery was very sculptural and intriguing.

Lastly the ceramics by Tanya La Mantia had a really incredible fragile transparency.
