“CODE & CRAFT”

28 -30 Nov | The Swiss Church in London, Covent Garden

Code & Craft brings together contemporary artists, designers, and architects who are exploring the field of making at the intersection of computation and craft. Set within the historic Swiss Church in Covent Garden, the exhibition introduces new languages of materials and form - where digital tools become partners to hand, gesture, and embodied knowledge.

Across the showcase, works reveal how algorithms, 3D printing technologies, and bio-fabrication processes are transforming not only how we make, but what is possible to make. Clay is shaped through computational logic. Bioplastics are cast into forms that seem grown rather than built. Jewellery is generated from code, yet remains intimately connected to the body. The result is a collection of objects that sit between the digital and the earthly: precise yet expressive, experimental yet grounded in material touch.

Drawing inspiration from philosopher Yuk Hui’s thinking on technodiversity and the spiral as a recursive form, Code & Craft frames craft as an evolving process—structured, open, and continuously re-negotiated. Here, making becomes a dialogue between control and chance, memory and innovation, the handmade and the mechanic.

Location
The exhibition takes place at The Swiss Church, an architectural landmark in the heart of Covent Garden. Its vast, resonant interior offers a unique spatial context where contemporary works can be experienced with clarity, scale, and reflection. The church itself becomes part of the narrative: a site historically tied to ritual, craft, and communal gathering, now hosting objects that speculate on the future of those very practices.
