Craft in Focus are inviting applications for their 2018 Desire Jewellery and Silversmithing Fairs.

Applications are invited from silversmiths and jewellers working in any media. 

Demand for spaces is expected to be extremely high so early application is advised.

London

The fair has previously been located at Richmond upon Thames and Chelsea, and is being staged in Kensington for 2018 whilst Chelsea Old Town Hall undergoes refurbishment.

Winchester

Guildhall, which is situated at the end of the High Street, making the venue very accessible. This period building is both well known and easily reached from the town centre car parks. Winchester is situated among one of the most affluent areas in the South, making this an ideal location.

Both shows incorporate full shell scheme (grey Expoloop), to ensure the clean and uniform appearance to the show that is expected for these type of events.  It will also be possible to rent display cases and lighting.  Uniformed security will be present (24 hour cover) throughout the show and also during the build up and breakdown, along with a uniformed presence outside the venues at closing times. 

Private View evenings are held at both events for exhibitors’ past customers.  Exhibitors will be entitled to an unlimited amount of invitations to the private views.
