Founded in 1998, Sarah Myerscough Gallery is a leading voice in contemporary craft and material-led practice. The gallery represents an international roster of artists working at the intersection of craft, 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 Maastricht, PAD London, FOG Design + Art San Francisco, and Design Miami.
Affectionately known as The Schoolhouse, the new gallery site runs a programme of the gallery’s signature presentations of crafted sculpture and design across three floors of exhibition spaces, alongside an exciting new charitable venture, see below. The inaugural programme will open with two solo exhibitions: Ernst Gamperl’s Urkraft on the ground floor, and Frances Pinnock’s Accoutrements & Illuminations upstairs. In addition, smaller installations and vignettes—tucked throughout the building’s corridors, nooks, and transitional spaces—will highlight furniture collections and sculptural works by gallery artists.
As the gallery enters its new home it will also welcome the newly established Crafted Art Foundation, located in the basement level, open to the public in Summer 2026. Occupying over 2,000 sq ft, this initiative will act as educational and curatorial centre dedicated to craft as a critical and cultural infrastructure. It will draw upon material traditions and making practices to explore the labour, placehood, and social dynamics that shape contemporary craft. A year-round programme of workshops, lectures, exhibitions, residencies, and public events will connect diverse narratives through the act of making.

The UK government introduced Anti-Money Laundering measures as of 10th January 2020, which require auction houses, art galleries and dealerships to conduct due diligence on buyers purchasing artworks above a €10,000 threshold. Therefore, before the completion of any sale over this threshold, we are now legally obliged to carry out identification checks. To do so, we use a highly secure platform called Arcarta which is fully GDPR-compliant. Please do not hesitate to contact the gallery if you would like to receive any additional information about this process.
