Traditional Christmas shopping is being turned on its head this winter at SoShiro gallery in London. ‘Handcrafted by the World’ is a high-end pop-up market featuring work from over 20 global makers, with refreshments produced by Fair Shot a local café that employs young people with learning disabilities.

Ceramics, textiles, metal and glass work carefully curated by founder Shiro Muchiri herself will be available for discerning shoppers, all with a price tag of under £500 and all crafted by hand. The work of the makers represents a wide range of cultural perspectives and materials from countries including, Jordan, Kuwait, Colombia, USA, Germany, Brazil, Denmark, Mexico, Estonia, UK amongst others.

Gift hunters can give themselves a boost while shopping from coffee produced by Fair Shot, a social enterprise that supports and trains young people with learning disabilities to increase their employability. Fifty percent of the £12 entry fee to “Handcrafted by the World” goes to Fair Shot.

I’m very happy to have my work featured in this prestigious exhibition.
