We are so excited to be part of the 12th edition of London Craft Week this May!
From 11–17 May, London will transform into a global meeting point for makers, designers, and galleries. As the only citywide festival dedicated to craftmaking, London Craft Week celebrates the stories, skills and people behind extraordinary work, from fashion and furniture to architecture and beyond.
HOLLY HUNT, in collaboration with Sirimiri, invites you to their Mayfair showroom to celebrate craftsmanship, sustainability and intricate embroidery detailing.
13th May 11am-3pm
HOLLY HUNT
20 Grafton Street
London W1S 4DZ
At the heart of the programme is a live hand-embroidery demonstration by textile artist Alice Timmis. Working within the showroom, Alice will embellish a blanket and a HOLLY HUNT Conrad handwoven shade using refined heritage techniques, bringing together traditional craft and contemporary design through live making.
Visitors are invited to observe the process, see the work develop in real time, and speak with HOLLY HUNT, Sirimiri and Alice as she demonstrates embroidery and weaving techniques throughout the day.
The design explores the purity of line and gesture, translating fluid hand-drawn marks into intricate embroidery—merging contemporary design language with traditional craft processes. The concept, sketches and original artwork were developed by Lauren Wood of Sirimiri, providing the foundation for the embroidery. Beyond its visual narrative, the blanket also carries a deeper symbolic reading: reeds, representing resilience and flexibility, and willow, evoking intuition, reflection and quiet strength. The embroidery concept references HOLLY HUNT’s Great Plains Lake Como fabric, echoing its texture and metallic detailing through Sirimiri’s artisanal textile language. The design draws inspiration from the British landscape, referencing reeds, rippling water and willow branches found in London’s parks, translating these natural forms into intricate stitching. Metallic threads catch the light across the wool surface, creating a sense of movement.
