Built with purpose. Created to do things differently.

An invite-only platform showcasing the very best of independent British craftsmanship - from painting and sculpture to neon, ceramics, and textile art. Every artist is handpicked for their originality, skill, and the value they bring to the Collective.

THIS ISN’T A MARKETPLACE - IT’S SOMETHING MORE CONSIDERED, COMPLETELY UNIQUE IN THE ART LANDSCAPE TODAY: A DIRECT, CURATED CONNECTION BETWEEN ARTIST AND COLLECTOR, BUILT ON TRUST, TRANSPARENCY, AND CREATIVE FREEDOM.

Every relationship is personal: we work directly with our artists, ensuring full creative freedom, transparency, and a partnership built on trust. Through this approach you gain access to over 100 exceptional artists, with a clear route to discover, commission, and procure original work.

The Collective now holds over 70 Collections with 600 works worth nearly £4 million – and continues to grow, with new artists joining by invitation only. We keep it personal, taking the time to understand what you’re looking for and helping you find work that truly resonates.

Beyond showcasing the work, we open new opportunities - brokering commissions, navigating licensing, and connecting artists with brands and partners who value originality and craftsmanship.

Artisan Collective exists to champion independent British artisans, share their stories, and put exceptional work in front of the people who truly appreciate it.

BECAUSE STANDARD IS FOR EVERYONE ELSE.

Alastair Gibson

From Formula One engineering to carbon fibre sculpture.

Alastair Gibson spent over two decades in motorsport, including 14 years in Formula One where he rose to Chief Mechanic at BAR/Honda. Today, under CarbonArt45, he brings that same discipline and ingenuity to the world of sculpture.

Working in carbon fibre and recycled F1 components, Alastair creates powerful forms inspired by nature - from skeletal structures to fluid marine life - each meticulously engineered and finished to perfection.

In 2024, his Brackley studio was commissioned to design and craft the official British Grand Prix trophies at Silverstone - a huge honour that celebrated both his racing roots and artistic vision.

I was recently invited to his studio to meet Alastair and the team, and to see first-hand the extraordinary precision and multi-stage process behind each work. It’s a rare fusion of engineering, craftsmanship, and imagination.

We’re extremely proud to have him as part of the Collective.

The Artisan Exposé offers a rare glimpse behind the curtain - into the minds, methods, and creative spaces of Britain’s most compelling artists. Each exposé captures the journey, craft, and character that shape their work.

We begin with Alan Williams, whose practice bridges precision engineering and wild imagination.
