Best of Britain to show in Scotland
We want to know your thoughts on our 2011 plans, we have had a great response from Scottish designer-makers as well as fans of handmade contemporary design north of the border so let us know what you think about a Handmade in Britain Show in Edinburgh, what would you want to see?
Read all about it
Yes it’s true, Handmade in Britain will be launching a book in Autumn 2011 showcasing 100 of the most talented British designer-makers. Not only will the book showcase the designer’s work but it will also give a personal insight to each individual designer-maker’s inspirations, ideas, philosophy and their creative lives. The book launched prior to the London Olympics will also be sold during the games to highlight and showcase British Craftsmanship to a worldwide audience. Are you a designer that would like to be featured or is there a designer you would like to see in the book? Get in touch for further details
