Added Value?

Shoes made by hand using over 200 processes, a briefcase decorated with intricate cutouts and 3D handmade wallpaper are among the objects on show at The Harley Gallery, Welbeck from 2 April to 1 June. Added Value? exhibits objects by six leading craftspeople whose work has become the latest trend in luxury goods. These beautiful objects will be shown alongside images and film of the makers at work, exploring why their hand crafted products are considered valuable. Craft has started to appear on fashion runways, in designer shops and glossy magazines. It is becoming a new language for luxury, but what is it that makes us feel this way about craft? Added Value? explores some of the different aspects of craft that make handmade products luxurious, from the materials and skill used in the making process to the experience of using the finished product.
