Our Vision

British Handmade Brand Awareness with The Artisan Guild. Our vision is to set us apart from other events by simply only selecting Artists & Artisans that attend our shows or we have met on our journey. Our criteria is strictly Handmade only, no brought in products only pieces made by the Artist/Maker, buy directly from them and most importantly meet the Artisan that has made your item. We as Artisans and organisers have experienced these areas not being followed correctly at so many shows and want ours to be set apart.

Grow Your Vision

Crafting a way through Child loss, Disability, and Mental health.

Catherine's embroidered artistry is nothing short of amazing, it often leaves visitors in awe, prompting them to take a second glance, for it convincingly resembles real photographs when observed from a distance. The creation of Catherine's embroidered art is an intricate process that involves meticulously layering thread stitches to mimic the striking realism of black and white photography. This artisanal process is both labour-intensive and thread-intensive, yet the resulting artwork is a testament to the unwavering commitment to produce stunning pieces.

Sues Tails

Needle Felting Artisan

It took Sue a while to realise that her art was whimsical and once that happened she sunk into it with relish! Sue like's to imagine a world where if we just stopped for a moment and took the time to look, we'd see mice pegging out washing or having a cup of tea sitting on an old up-cycled trap. As you can hear Sue loves to tell stories with her handmade pieces, always when putting together a new piece she is thinking 'where is the story..?', 'what would a mouse use for this..?',  even I dare say 'what would the mouse be thinking!'. Her work is truly beautiful and it always makes people smile.
