Contemporary Applied Arts
Founded in 1948, CAA is a membership body for craftspeople and an advocate for the applied arts. A registered charity, it aims to demonstrate how the applied arts are vital to our culture, and how engagement with them has the power to improve the quality of life.
CAA’s members are some of the finest British makers, working in ceramics, furniture, glass, jewellery, metal, paper, textiles and wood. Highlights for Artefact include a rare porcelain bowl by Emmanuel Cooper; new ceramic work by Gabrielle Koch; and delicate molten colour biomorphic vessels by Michèle Oberdieck.
