Built with purpose. Created to do things differently.

Artisan Collective is an invite-only art sales platform showcasing over 100 exceptional British artists - from painting and sculpture to neon, ceramics and textiles. It’s new, distinctive, and innovative, created to put fairness at the centre and do things differently. Every member is hand-picked for originality, craft, and the value they bring to the Collective.

This isn’t a marketplace. It’s a sales platform built differently - a direct, curated connection between artist and collector, built on trust, transparency and creative freedom.

With 700+ works of art valued at nearly £5m, the Collective is expanding fast. We keep it personal, helping you commission, procure and collect work that truly resonates.

Beyond showcasing, we open new doors - brokering commissions, licensing, and partnerships where originality matters. Artisan Collective exists to champion independent British artisans, share their stories, and put exceptional work in front of those who value it.

The Collective Ethos

Artisan Collective is built on fairness and trust. Every sale has to be win–win for both artist and collector - or it doesn’t happen. This is about giving artists the freedom to create and collectors the confidence to buy without barriers.

No egos, no middlemen, no jargon, no pretence - just honesty, originality, and the strength that comes from being stronger together than alone.

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.
