About

During London Craft Week 2026, Atelier Seventy-Six will open its doors for a seven-day celebration of contemporary craft, transforming the townhouse into a dynamic, lived-in space shaped by making, learning and exchange.

Across the week, each room of the house will be dedicated to a different craft discipline, with one maker highlighted per day. Visitors will encounter leatherwork by Otis Ingrams, weaving by Aimee Betts, glass by Jochen Holz, and ceramics by Emma Louise Payne, alongside metalwork, wood and textile practices. Moving through the townhouse offers a layered experience of contemporary craft, where finished works sit alongside tools, materials and works in progress.

Each day will bring a particular craft into focus. Live demonstrations and intimate classes will take place in the basement studio space, offering audiences the opportunity to observe techniques up close, ask questions and gain direct insight into process, skill and material knowledge. These sessions are designed to foreground making as a form of thinking, and to reveal the time, decisions and expertise behind each discipline.

Founded by Emma Louise Payne in 2025, Atelier Seventy-Six is a platform for meaningful exchange between makers, materials and audiences. The programme reflects the studio’s commitment to contemporary craft as a living practice, one that moves between experimentation and tradition, function and expression. Over the course of the week, the house will continually shift as new makers take focus, creating an evolving environment that invites visitors to return, linger and engage.

This London Craft Week event offers a rare opportunity to experience multiple craft disciplines within a single, intimate setting, and to connect directly with the makers shaping contemporary craft today.
