Guy Salter, founder and chair of London Craft Week, described Chinese craftsmanship and the China Pavilion as a key and representative component of the festival.

He highlighted the enduring vitality of Chinese craftsmanship, noting that its traditions continue to be reinterpreted in contemporary contexts. He also expressed hope that the platform would further promote cultural exchange between the UK and China and deepen international understanding of the cultural spirit behind Chinese craft.

Meanwhile, an exhibition titled Bride of the Mountains was running at the Fitzrovia Gallery in central London as part of the Chinese program during London Craft Week.

The exhibition showcases the family stories and cultural traditions of the Yi ethnic group in Southwest China.
