MAKERS OF THE NOTSWOLDS
Introducing Makers of the Notswolds, our dedicated platform for the craft and design culture of this region. Created for those who care about how things are made and why, it brings together the studios, workshops and small businesses shaping this corner of England.
This is a place to discover, to connect and to support. A growing community built around respect for craft, enduring standards and the people who uphold them.
FOR THE HOME
Makers shaping the rooms we live in. Furniture builders, upholsterers, lighting designers and metalworkers whose work forms the backbone of a house. Rooted in material knowledge and time spent at the bench, these practices prioritise proportion, function and longevity. The result is work designed to settle in, to be used daily, and to become part of the fabric of a home over time.
DECORATIVE
Makers working at a more intimate scale. Ceramicists, printmakers, sculptors, basketmakers and decorative artists whose pieces bring texture and character to a space. Often shaped slowly by hand, these works balance function and expression. They are objects chosen with care, collected over time, and valued for the presence and personality they carry into a room.
TO WEAR
Designers and craftspeople creating clothing and adornment with intention. Working in small runs and considered materials, they prioritise quality over pace and longevity over trend. These are garments and accessories made to be worn often and lived in fully, shaped by hand and grounded in the same spirit of independent making.
