Gallery Ethos
Founded in 1998, Sarah Myerscough Gallery is a leading voice in contemporary crafted art and material-led practice. The gallery represents an international roster of artists working at the intersection of crafted art, design, and sculpture. Their practices reflect an attunement to cultural relationships with natural materials, particularly wood, combining traditional craftsmanship with innovative approaches that challenge disciplinary boundaries.
Through skills honed in dialogue with material, our artists articulate complex philosophical questions that contextualise our present-day relationship to making. Their practices speak to environmental, social, and cultural representation, often navigating a coexistence with the natural world. In its programming, the gallery invites ongoing reflection on how we embrace the significance of the handmade to foreground the intelligence of materially grounded and conceptually rigorous works.
The gallery continues to foster long-term collaboration with artists, curators, critics, and institutions, and is committed to expanding the role of craft within contemporary culture, representing works from bespoke furniture collections and architectural applications, to dynamic sculpture and installation. In 2024, it presented its first international exhibition at Galerie56 in New York, and its artists’ works are held in significant public and private collections worldwide. The gallery’s programme reflects this ethos across exhibitions, public events, and major international fairs, including TEFAF New York, TEFAF Maastricht, PAD London, FOG Design + Art San Francisco, and Design Miami. -

The Schoolhouse
In 2025, the gallery relocated to its new home in Mayfair - a Victorian schoolhouse on Balderton Street. Located on the Grosvenor Estate, the site sits between two major landmarks of public sculpture: Gilbert Bayes’ Queen of Time, poised above Selfridges, and Antony Gormley’s Room, a sculptural suite at the Beaumont Hotel. The building later became part of the Central London Polytechnic, known for its applied educational focus on subjects such as engineering, photography, and the sciences. This spirit of applied knowledge and material exploration underpins our vision for the future of the gallery.

Sister gallery - The New Craftmaker - celebrates traditional and vernacular craft from around the British Isles. From the finest selected woods to woven basketry and hand-loomed textiles, to crafted ceramic lighting and turned wooden vessels, heritage craft skills are central to The New Craftmaker’s ethos. The collections are imbued with cultural meaning, entwined with history and place, honouring the raw beauty of natural materials, transforming them into pieces of understated luxury and elegance for a contemporary home.
