Snape Maltings Exhibition
We are thrilled to announce that the Suffolk Craft Society’s first exhibition of 2026 will take place at the renowned Snape Maltings, filling Gallery 21 and the Dovecote Studio from Monday 30 March to Sunday 26 April. This exhibition will shine a spotlight on the exceptional talent of our members, celebrating contemporary craft at its very best. Visitors will also have the opportunity to meet the makers and see skills brought to life during live demonstrations at Snape’s Place Weekend on 11–12 April.
We hope the exhibition’s private view will coincide with the unveiling of the Suffolk Craft Society Bench, specially designed by SCS member Tim Germain, on the Henry Moore Lawn, a fitting addition to this inspiring setting.
Showcasing an exciting and diverse range of disciplines, including ceramics, jewellery, printmaking, sculpture, glass, bookbinding, woodworking, and furniture making, the exhibition will present outstanding handcrafted work from across East Anglia. Each piece reflects the creativity, skill, and dedication of our makers, offering visitors a truly memorable experience.
We can’t wait to share the remarkable new work being created for this exhibition and will be revealing more details very soon.
