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.

Patrick Palmer

Bringing depth and feeling to the human form.

Based in Windsor, Patrick gave up a successful career in publishing at 40 to do what he always loved - paint. Trained in London and Dublin, he’s developed a quietly powerful style that focuses on the human form, especially the female figure.

Working mainly in oils, his pieces have a calm, emotional pull - built up in soft layers of tone and texture. He takes inspiration from artists like Degas and Schiele but keeps his work honest, personal, and always his own.

Patrick’s shown his work in galleries across the UK and beyond - from London to New York - and also teaches life drawing in Windsor. As he says, “Realism is not enough - it’s what you take away and what you add that turns a picture into art.”

We’re 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.
