This December, British Craft: The Miami Edit brings ten rising stars of making in the UK to South Beach for a five-day showcase of the most exciting emerging talents in contemporary British craft and sculptural art. A partnership between the Crafts Council and The New Craftsmen, the exhibition represents the first time the work of many of these makers will have been shown in the US – introducing the ideas, materials and processes at the forefront of UK craft to a new international audience.
British Craft: The Miami Edit is showing at the debut edition of applied arts and sculpture fair FORM Miami, a new sister fair to SOFA Chicago. It takes place during Miami Art Week, when a raft of major fairs including Art Basel Miami Beach, Art Miami, and Design Miami place the US city under the international art- world spotlight.
Held opposite Art Basel, the Miami Edit puts UK craft innovation in front of an audience of thousands of art collectors, curators, owners and enthusiasts, with the aim of securing new sales, commissions and collaborations for the featured makers, and of raising international awareness of the ideas and materials shaping Britain’s craft landscape today.
