“Handmade Chelsea is one of the longest running craft shows in the British Isles. Serving as a platform for our selected artists to exhibit their exceptional creations, there will be a beautiful selection on offer just in time for Christmas. Visitors can buy directly from makers or place orders for bespoke commissioned pieces.” Piyush Suri, Founder, Handmade in Britain
ICONIC LOCATION / In the unrivalled setting of Chelsea Old Town Hall, this annual event will showcase over 100 of the UK’s finest designer-makers representing every possible craft discipline from exquisite jewellery to handprinted and handwoven textiles; handcrafted furniture to stunning decorative glass; functional and decorative ceramics; fine art, print and illustration to innovative and original fashion. In addition, an area will be dedicated to new talent, shining a spotlight on up-and-coming designer-makers, ensuring outstanding British making will continue well into the future.
“I cannot wait to welcome our extraordinary designer-makers, and our much-valued guests, to this year’s Handmade Chelsea Craft and Design Fair, it promises to be better than ever!” Dan Goode, Consultant Director, Handmade in Britain
Handmade Chelsea Craft and Design Fair is the place to find beautiful unique gifts this Christmas, for friends, loved ones and personal gifts for oneself.
In the words of one of our outstanding regular exhibitors:
“Handmade Chelsea show is one of a kind. A fantastic setting in such a busy and popular location in London, attracting buyers for all different craft disciplines. Its long and well-established reputation draws in repeat customers every year as well as attracting new visitors. As a maker who has exhibited for 16 years, it is a fabulous and friendly show to take part in, a highlight of my working calendar!” Annie Ruthven-Taggart, jeweller, Exhibitor Since 2008
We couldn’t say it better ourselves.
