Mint was thrilled to be part of this year’s Collect – The International Art Fair for Contemporary Objects, for the first time!

Collect has been the leading event on the global crafts calendar – an essential, discipline-crossing showcase of modern creative expression for collectors, enthusiasts and practitioners alike. Returning to the Saatchi Gallery on 22–25 February 2018, this year Collect presented exceptional objects in ceramic, glass, jewellery, wood, metal, textiles and experimental materials, and represented the work of an astonishingly diverse array of makers from Britain and beyond. Invited by a distinguished panel of craft specialists, 40 worldwide galleries from four continents participated, presenting a selection of pioneering pieces. Additionally, this year a bigger enthuses was given to furniture design with the appearance of different galleries exhibiting for the first time.

Mint’s display proved one of the highlights of the fair, receiving an overwhelmingly positive response from Collect visitors.

Thank you to those who visited Mint at Collect. Continue reading to discover the highlights from the fair…
