Making a Winter’s Tale
Handmade gifts for the festive season
This winter, Contemporary Applied Arts (CAA), home to works from Britain’s leading craftspeople, will launch ‘Making a Winter’s Tale’, a seasonal selling exhibition.
It will offer a range of meaningful gifts at accessible price points, as well as high-value collectors’ pieces.
This curated selection is imbued with skill, innovation and tradition.
From the decorative to the functional and wearable, in a range of diverse materials from clay to precious gemstones, each handmade object is a one off.

‘Makers tell tales and objects communicate stories. There are many tales to tell in the creation of a finely crafted object, and the making and storytelling are often inter-twined, and interdependent in the work and lives of craft people. Stories about materials and their history, tales of how a skill was mastered, glimpses of inspiration and influence are everywhere you look in the crafts. These are to be cherished, as they add immeasurably to the allure of a beautifully made pot, piece of glass, textile, necklace, chair… the list is endless.
There is a direct and personal communication between the creator and the lucky one who acquires a special piece: the maker, material and the piece itself tell tales and the owner imbues the object with meaning and memory.’ - Christine Lalumia, Executive Director of CAA
Affordable to collectors and buyers of all budgets, prices range from £25 to tens of thousands of pounds.
As the leading authority on high-end British craft, CAA is a trusted resource for collectors and first time buyers alike. With 350 maker members from all over the UK, the CAA gallery represents both leading and emerging names.
