It's got a showroom at 89 Southwark Street, SE1 0HX, right behind the Tate Modern which is somewhat symbolic of the craft disciplines it represents in that it's in the shadow of a great art institution and is tiny in comparison.
The showroom is on the ground floor of the offices of Allies & Morrison, an "urban" architecture practice, and is split between areas selling stuff and staging an exhibition.
The retail bit included a couple of pieces from David Reekie - he of the "Captive Audience" in the V&A. In other words, it's classy stuff.
At present, the exhibition is on architectural model-making, quite a lot of it being connected to work carried out by Allies & Morrison.
A lot of the model-making was based on laser-cutting. In the foreground of the photo below it's used to cut and score card and thin sheet metal which is then folded to create models of balconies.
Some other stuff made with laser cutters and CNC machines:
In the photo below, the mould for this was made from laser-cutting multiple layers of rubber.
Here's an example of another rubber mould.
