Championing British Craft Since 1974

For over 50 years, Living Crafts has been championing British craft and design, bringing together talented independent artists and makers who share a passion for exceptional craftsmanship and originality. Our events are carefully curated to showcase the very best of British handmade crafts, alongside a dedicated selection of specialist artisan food and drink producers.

 

Made by you with passion

At Living Crafts, authenticity matters. Every piece must be made by the exhibiting maker, reflecting your own skills, creativity and craftsmanship. We do not accept imported or commercially manufactured work. These principles are at the heart of what makes Living Crafts distinctive, ensuring visitors experience a truly inspiring collection of original, handmade British crafts.

​
