Present Makers 2024

16 November 2024 to 24 December 2024

Contemporary Craft Selling Exhibition.

Present Makers features hand-crafted gift ideas showcasing the talent and innovation of contemporary craftspeople and design makers in the South West. 

The exhibition showcases contemporary craft including jewellery, ceramics, textiles, prints, wood and glass as well as unique Christmas cards, and decorations.

This year, we are shining a spotlight on emerging makers. As well as established makers, recently graduated makers and emerging makers are featured, from woodworkers to jewellery artists, ceramicists to glassmakers, textile to embroidery artists.

THG aims to support early career makers, developing their expertise to help advance their practice. Through this exhibition, the gallery provides a carefully curated space to showcase their creative process. The emerging artists use many different processes including leatherwork, paper-making, pottery, knitting, jewellery making and wood turning.
