A Spoonful of Arts & Crafts in the UK is the special exhibition at this edition of AfE. The loan show is curated by Simon Moore, author of Artists’ Spoons & Related Table Cutlery – a British History of Arts & Crafts Flatware.
It focuses on Arts & Crafts spoon designs from the early 20th century and showcases works by many much-collected designers such as Archibald Knox, Charles Ashbee and Omar Ramsden.
Shown below is a selection of four spoons by Birmingham designer AL Jones. Moore will speak on The Desirability of Liberty Arts & Crafts Spoons during the fair.
