Sarah Myerscough Gallery

What Sarah Myerscough Gallery does

Sarah Myerscough Gallery is a London-based contemporary craft and design gallery founded in 1998 by Sarah Myerscough, operating from The Schoolhouse at 18 Balderton Street in Mayfair. The gallery represents an international roster of artist-designer-makers working in ceramics, wood, textiles, glass, and other craft media, and its program is centered on solo and group exhibitions of museum-quality contemporary craft with a stated focus on sustainable natural materials and serious craftsmanship.

The gallery's core offerings are physical exhibitions at The Schoolhouse, ongoing artist representation across roughly 40+ makers, and year-round participation in major international art and design fairs including TEFAF Maastricht, TEFAF New York, PAD London, PAD Paris, Design Miami, Design Miami/Paris, FOG Design + Art, Collect, Masterpiece London, and Eye of The Collector. Distribution is supplemented by an e-commerce storefront powered by Stripe that supports Visa, Mastercard, and American Express transactions. The business generates revenue through one-off sales of individually priced artworks — pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed — to two principal customer segments: high-net-worth private collectors and museums/public institutions. Placement track record includes acquisitions by the Victoria & Albert Museum (London), The Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), Carnegie Museum of Art (USA), World Ceramics Museum (Icheon, Korea), and Westerwald Museum (Germany), and the gallery won Best of Show for Best Gallery Presentation at Design Miami in 2022 for 'Material Shores.' Press coverage spans The Financial Times and The New York Times. The business is privately held, employs 1–10 people, has no disclosed external funding, and is operated as a closely-held independent gallery.
