Festival Des Metiers, London


If you haven't been to see the Festival Des Metiers which has just opened then you must go.  This Rendez-Vous with the Hermes craftspeople is an absolute must.  For just one week at the Saatchi Gallery along the Kings Road, the amazing crafts people from this incredible luxury brand are demonstrating how each of their products are made.  If you happen to own a piece of their jewellery, a scarf, a dish and so on then the likelihood is that you will meet the person here who made it by hand for you.  We were quite mesmerised by how they work from following the hand painting process on the ceramics to inserting diamonds into their jewellery with a microscope it is absolutely fascinating, and they are so helpful too.
