Ornamenting the Sacred: Pattern, Light, Form

Türkiye’s rich tradition of sacred ornamentation takes centre stage at London Craft Week, celebrating centuries-old techniques developed to embellish spaces of worship and devotion with meaning, craftsmanship, and beauty.

This programme focuses on the arts that shape and adorn the sacred, including stained glass (vitray), woodcarving, architectural ornament, and related decorative traditions, explored through hands-on workshops, engaging talks, and live demonstrations. Participants will encounter the material language of the sacred, from carved wood surfaces and patterned glass to ornamental motifs rooted in spiritual architecture and craftsmanship.
