Collect 2026
We had a wonderful time presenting 'Uncommon Ground' at Collect 2026. If you weren’t able to visit us in person, you can learn more and explore the full exhibition catalogue here.
'Uncommon Ground' exhibits a diverse body of work by ten of the SDC's established and emerging makers. It celebrates a commitment to excellence while showcasing how members interpret and reinterpret craft for today. For over a century, the SDC has been a prominent advocate for exceptional craftsmanship and the exploration of materials and skills. This exhibition continues this legacy by highlighting the work of designer-makers who push the boundaries of their respective crafts, showcasing new forms, unexpected materials, and innovative approaches to traditional techniques.
